Thanks for your comments and the parallel with PeakD (which is my preferred UI on Hive btw =) )!
We certainly spent more time that was originally planned on the refactor, but I think it was worth it. The refactor is not about backend at all, we rewrote the entire front-end with to be able to keep building with better code and faster development. Originally, Keychain was supposed to be a small project, and it was increasingly difficult to work on it, the refactor solves that.
We didn't have time to take care of the 2FA and improved onboarding, but will work on it soon.
The no-key extension has basically evolved on what became Hive Auth.
For Ledger, we are still waiting on the Ledger team update.
All the other items (refactor, HF updates, proposals, HE ops, reorganization of settings, and more) have already been coded and will be shipped with v2.
We're learning to prioritize tasks better and with the team growing and the refactor ready, things we'll speed up considerably.
Thanks for your wishes, same goes for you and the PeakD team!
