Cheers - I sympathise on the keeping up with reading and posting thing, life definitely seems to have phases where it feels like one of those plate-spinning jugglers, and it's just impossible to keep everything working at the same time !

It does definitely feel that way now and then! My daughter's skating practice ends right away and that'll leave us with just my boy's hockey practice until May or some such, which will definitely reduce some of the run-around. Ironically, doing a lot more D&D lately has really eaten up a lot of my time I'd usually spend worldbuilding and writing. :P Oh well!
Ah, you could combine the two. There have been a couple of times where I've written some key background material or lore as a Hive post and then given my D&D group a link to the post 😀
I usually have been writing out worldbuilding locations and like... session recaps as well as notable npcs as we've met them (I created a new collection to house these kind of posts https://peakd.com/ccc/oblivioncubed/trothguard-player-resources-collection ), but I'm like two sessions behind now with a new session set for Saturday. I'm going to try and pop onto my PC tonight and do some planning, fill out a few of these documents further as new information has come up, and do a recap.
My edits to existing documents don't show in feeds which makes sense for how HIVE works, but it does mean that only I (and my players) ever really notice when I do a tweak to them lol. I almost wish we had a 'Watch' option so we could see changes to posts after the initial creation, but I also know that there's probably almost no-one besides myself using posts in this manner lol
I've been thinking along those kinds of line myself. But sadly I'm not a developer or coder, lol.
I feel what we need is an app or front end that hosts "dynamic" posts, whether it's bits of worldbuilding that are regularly edited (e.g. descriptions of locations which might change once a party has gone through and ransacked them), or more mundane things like indexes of posts about a specific topic (for example serialised stories, or lists of writing prompts).
That would be really neat if there's some kind of data we could filter off of that would only show often-edited posts... hmm. I'll think about it. I am a developer, just not for HIVE (yet, I guess lol)
