Well, We are releasing our final 1.0 version of the Hive Downloader Tool.

Original release announcement "About:"

A tool to download hive posts in .md format.

1. add format options for downloading in zim (personal wiki) format and more...
2. Search & download by tag or query, etc.. and tables to select more/less.
3. (MAYBE) optionally download additional user data outside of just posts (custom_json/wallet data)

Special Thanks

Thanks for @foxon for leading @thekittygirl to the tool, gave me the little kick start of publicity I needed to remind myself to finish the tool for ALL users (last version was still unable to download haejin, but worked for acidyo, edicted & most others, so it was 'good enough'). As well as @rishi556 and @cadawg for harassing me to not just go 80% of the way with this and making sure that it eventually supported ALL users on hive.

Thanks

Greetings, @blokz,

I just discovered your spectacular "Hive Post Downloader" tool a few days ago, and I'm here to say that it absolutely rocks! I came across it via the Hive "Welcome" Page that links to https://hiveprojects.io/ ...

I have of course already used it to archive my account, as well as a friend's. In the case of the friend, I simply wanted to inspect the source code of a particular post in order to see "how she did" a video embed. Your swell utility runs fast and furious, and does a fantastic job.

It took me a few more days to discover who/where you were/are... and now I'm here to say a big "Thank You Very Much" for this very cool tool. Thank you! Also to confirm: If I understand the connection correctly, you also are @sn0n, and @blokz is your dev account?

I have some fantasy aspirations of learning how to do some Hive coding, and (if I ever get a "round tuit") your code archive on Github will be the first place I look. I have for a long time wanted to write some code to facilitate my Library project... but I've been just too busy with too many other things.

In any case, friend, you rock, your code rocks, and I'm here to tell you how much I appreciate you. THANK YOU!
😄😇😉

Glad you got good use out of the project. And yea, @sn0n is the guy, and @blokz is the "entity" for holding my projects.

Also, my code is full of spaghetti and formatting is gross. LoL. Definitely follow @rishi556 for the good stuff. ^>^

Hey there, @sn0n,

As a lifelong coder, I "get" your knee-jerk reaction... yah, there's always room for improvement and prettying things up... but hey, in my not so humble opinion, the primary beauty of code is in the function. You've produced something beautiful here, so thank you again. And if I ever do get time to do some hacking, I'll also check out @rishi556; thanks for the reference!

[thekittygirl]

This is awesome! Thank you! 😃

[cadawg]

Glad our buggage was helpful. I will give it a try next time I’m on my pc

[foxon]

Great tool and awesome work!

[sn0n]

I'm so fat and lazy. ^>^ lol. I should've finished this months ago, but eh, self loathing is a weird beast who feeds on procrastination amirite? (; LoL

[foxon]

Getting something done is always an awesome 😎

No judgement on how you get there 😆 we're all living our lives. I don't see any fat and lazy here - just a useful tool aiding in decentralization, and a nice piece of software he made 🤣 kidding!

Putting it together with notable is the next level part. Backing up all the md for portability is one of those critically needed things - being able to easily use it with notable is some sweet icing on the cake

[blokz]

Hahaha yay I'm a tool. ^>^

[sn0n]

Also, for anyone that does find value in this tool, please consider voting @hextech for witness (that's my witness group with @edicted and @rishi556) also consider @deathwing's proposal here: https://peakd.com/me/proposals/184 as his API node is the current default.

Thank you!!
