Ya, that post of yours was a home run. I remember when I first read it. It sparked the idea to fork a browser and have a Hive browser with all apps accessible on some right hand menu, as you said in your post. To create a synergy, a home, a entry point that leads people down various rabbit trails.
The SPK Network will bring a lot of cool back end stuff to Hive, oracles, cross chain decentralised gateways, just cool stuff. But what's cool stuff without connecting it all together. It's like having a cool looking puzzle piece that's separated from the rest.
I'll try and build something cool that displays all you can do on Hive. We have some many unknown projects that may or may not be awesome. Such a waste if we dont curate them
See, I'm not a developer but I'm creative and if I had chosen that path earlier on in life, I'd be able to offer more in that department, rather than just ideas and concepts. But I reveal my thoughts, even though they can be scattered at times, because I feel that's being a team player. So if I was developing an app or something/anything, I'd include code that plugs in somehow to popular front ends, rather than making a new one entirely to serve one purpose. Then whoever is calling the shots for whichever front end could review the product or whatever, add it to this section of their front end that is easily accessible and right under the noses of folks browsing around. Then they don't need to focus on creating awareness within the community or suffering from being a great project that somehow flew under the radar.
Still, your take on it would work. But then what if that particular front end/project suffers the same problem. It's off to the side and away from the social setting many seem to frequent. As a consumer of video content on Hive from time to time for instance, I need to tell you I've only visited the official 3speak site maybe five times in my entire life. If I want to browse content found in specific tribes, I simply click the tags commonly used, then browse on PeakD. And this isn't out of laziness, it's because it's simple and convenient.
So if you do work on that project that attempts to sort things out I'd suggest making damn sure there's a massive button that one can't miss sitting nicely at the top or side or somewhere in a place like PeakD, Hive.blog, whatever. It could come standard with the tribe sites as well. Damn near everything should have that button, somewhere, obvious. All it really is a simple link leading to more links and back.
Man. I talk too much and I apologize for being all off topic here while the community is busy trying wrap their heads around some new concepts. I'm 99% sure I suggested dispersing fees in this fashion at some point in the past, you saw it, and your response was something about me playing 4D chess, but at the same time, it's possible I'm blending a few memories and that never happened. Just seems so damn familiar like I been here before.
