3 days ago we announced SNAPS ... our interface for short form content on hive.
We have since made a number of improvements.
1 RE-SNAP
The most recent update is a very seemless ability to share someone else's snaps.
You get to share some thoughts as you do it as well. Add value to the conversation.
2 COMBINED FEED
There are 4 interfaces for short form content on Hive. We have made it easier to see the content from the people you follow for all 4 of them. One seamless experience.
3 EDIT SNAPS
You could always do it but took leaving the snap ui experience. We just added the menu and made it really easy while staying in the snap experience
4 SNAPS IN PROFILE
There is now a page/tab on everyone's profile for the snaps they have written. You can easily go to a user's profile to see all the short form they have written.
5 SNAPS IN COMMUNITIES
A community owner can turn on this feature and users can write and see all the snaps written in that community which likely apply to the topic of that community.
6 VOTE WITH... FOR SNAPS
Vote with is a feature for those who manage accounts for several organizations/companies. Making it so you don't have to log out to vote... you can vote for all the accounts you represent all at once. Now it's available for snaps
7 VEIW VERSION
You can also see changes if someone makes an edit to their snap.
8 TOPIC TAGS and TOPIC TRENDING
We now track all the tags you use in your SNAP and we have a trending of the most used tags.
You can click on SNAP TAGS and see other snaps that use that tag.
NOTE: As snaps become more popular and there is more and more history we will have different tame frames of trending.
8 MOBILE UI MENU IMPROVEMENT
Added ability to see the other 3 short form content options plus the combined feed on mobile devices
9 ADD LIKETU
Since we launched we actually added this short form content system. It uses the same approach as the other 3. We have been asked and dBuzz uses posts instead of comments on a container post so it has more impact on following feeds and has more voting issues so we think at this point it would be perhaps better for them to switch than going through the trouble of integrating. Also it's not apparent if they're developing right now.
10 LOT'S OF VISUAL IMPROVEMETNS AND BUG FIXES
Too many small things to really denote but the overall look and experience has been much improved since launch a couple days ago.
WHAT'S TO COME?
- Possible improvements to some of the right side panel
- Possible integration of Open Hive Polls into Snaps.
No promises but admit that you love opening up snaps and seeing all the updates from @asgarth and @peakd accounts
SIDE NOTE: There has been some questions on this... Technically speaking all 4 use the same mechanism of creating container posts and tracking the comments in those posts as their short form content. We are open to having a completely Hive branded neutral system if the other sites are willing and want go to the hive community to decide.

Impressive! I have never used short form platforms like tweets, because you guys developed this I am looking into it. I even commented on someone's snap. :)
I'm all for universal microblogging on Hive. The dapps can add other features, but we want the widest audience for our content and the community is small.
Probably not 100%, but this combined feed is close enough: https://peakd.com/snaps/all/following
Snaps for communities are a great feature, we will enable it now.
2 questions about it and 1 about Peakd:
Yes
Not at the moment
Surely it can look better, but I don't think this is our top priority

I'm not so much into short-form blogging, but I realize that this may be because my formative experiences are all Twitter, which I loathed before Elon Musk, and still loathe now. I may give Snaps a spin!

Great work, keep on going!
I really like the new feature so far. Sometimes I just have a short message, which is too short for a blog post imo, so I can just create a snap now. 🙂
Awesome Updates!
Does the Snaps in Communities needs the Active Key to be activated or does the Posting-Key is enough?
Greetings
louis
I think posting key.... But if the account that actually owns the community hive-xxxxxx
Not 100% on it though
I love this new updates and I’m definitely going to explore as much as I can when I get some time.
For the combine feed, if I made a thread for the inleo community through peakd will it appear there? Also for the others too
Congratulations guys...its beautiful...job weldone
