A Quick History of LeoThreads
Sometime last year when I was new to LeoFinance, I read and heard about "ProjectBlank." It was like a secret project being worked on by the Leo team.

Khal had teased us about it, LeoLegend NFTs and such. Then in August 4th, they released LeoThreads which was said to be a test feature and when things work, they will have a standalone app for it.

Hehe what a teaser it was back then
It was. Made me anxious to be honest :D
So anxious
It was exciting to have it, being open to any topic and not only about crypto, finance, investment or related stuff. We can post a photo of our cat or anything we want. A welcoming addition to Hive I must say.
3/🧵
It was like the new kid in the block which got people interested and excited. Short-form or microblogging any time of the day and many times over without the worry of being policed. It was a breath of fresh air especially for me.
4/🧵
There was a time when threads testing just started, I literally couldn't do anything outside threads... A breath of fresh air indeed.
It was :) We were like kids who found a new fun toy :D
Yeah, that's the right way to put it haha
It made our engagement numbers soar because it was easier to interact and it was fun too. But it seems people were still hesitant to come aboard to use it so we only had less than 500 active threaders then.

Oh it was only getting started and I'll say 500 active threaders back then was a lot for a start... Now we're going to higher number 🥳
Yes. I wonder what the numbers are right now but for sure, we are growing.
We are, thanks to the campaign and NOW launch 🥳
I can still remember when I started at Leofinance, I was like so dumb at whatever was going on 😅
Haha, I can relate. I was the same. It was quite amusing, but it's a wonderful experience.
It is, still wondered about how far I've come
Anyway, LeoThreads as a feature on the UI ran for about 6 months or so until the open alpha was released in February on https://alpha.leofinance.io but prior to that, ProjectBlank has been named and it turned out to be LeoFinance.

And now, we have the all-new LeoFinance UI built from scratch which is more threads-centric as they put it. Microblogging on the center stage.
