Project Blank - AKA, LeoThreads - has been improving at a rapid pace. If you've been using the new Alpha UI, then you'll see regular improvements, feature adds and updates.
We've been working hard toward our ultimate goal: moving from Alpha to Production. This will be the moment when we "flip the switch" on the current LeoFinance UI and replace it with the new Alpha UI.
Why Does it Matter?
The Alpha UI represents our vision for the future of Web3 on Hive. We're building "The Everything App" on Hive and our goal is to make it the ultimate Web3 experience.
Whether you're looking for long-form content or looking for a Web3 version of Twitter... or perhaps you want to launch a Decentralized Poll, Leo is where you'll do it.
This vision for the app is changing the entire LEO economy. We've got a lot planned on all fronts throughout 2023.
Some of our big ticket goals are:
- 5,000 Monthly Active Users by December 2023 (In January we had 500. We hit a new ATH in February of 1,046 - thanks to the new UI going live. Our Q2 goal is 1,500 MAUs)
- Release the Production version of the https://alpha.leofinance.io UI
- Launch our full Crew3 campaign
- Launch LeoAds in its full glory and turn the LEO token economy into a high-powered growth machine
All 4 of these goals are closely aligned and they are all going to vastly improve the LEO Token Economy.
What's Next for Project Blank? | Mobile View, Show Parent Thread, GIFs and Image Stacking
We've got a slew of updates in store for the next few weeks. We've also been working on a new schedule for releases.
Moving forward, we're going to be packaging releases and releasing them on Friday. Every Friday, you can expect some new features.
So far, we've been doing it a bit ad hoc. Adding features & bug fixes nearly on a daily basis to get things out as fast as possible. Now that the majority of core features are in, we'll be doing a patch (reminds me of my old WoW days) each Friday that includes both new features and bug fixes.
It'll be fun to add some predictability to our release schedule as well. As always, the big ticket items will get major debuts but all the small releases can be expected each Friday.
Mobile View
The new UI is going to be built in a highly robust way. We believe in having a robust web app that can be ported to any app store as a native app as well. This is how we're building the new LeoFinance.
The desktop, mobile and native app experience will feel seamless and amazing. Personally, I use Hive from my mobile browser all the time. I don't love native apps, but we will still build and maintain them.
This is the mobile view that will be released this Friday. If you're using threads on mobile, you're using the Keychain mobile app for now.
We're also working on the revamped version of LeoInfra which includes Hive lite accounts, Hivesigner, Posting Key and Hiveauth login options.
Show Parent Thread
This has been a slight issue since the Notifications UI launched. Sometimes when you want to jump into a conversation from the Notifications page - and now also the recently launched "Following Feed", you run into some issues. It's hard to see the context that came before what you clicked on.
That context is often necessary to properly respond.
This Friday, we'll be releasing "Show Parent Thread". You can see it in action above and you'll be able to click parent thread and then keep clicking until you get all the way to the top parent (if you want to go that far). This will help you find the context you need, when you need it.
GIFs, Emojis and Image Stacking
We're aiming to have these either this Friday or next Friday. GIFs and Emojis are self explanatory. Image stacking will let you have multiple images in your Threads and will be 10x easier to manage.
The Future of Blank
The Everything App is really shaping up. The launch of Decentralized Polls on hive got a lot of people excited.
If you haven't tried that yet, go to https://alpha.leofinance.io and try creating a Decentralized Poll using the "Poll" icon.
It will totally change your perspective on the power of threads. Each Poll uses a Custom JSON matrix for voting.
That means that when a user votes on your poll, they are broadcasting a JSON to the Hive blockchain. Their vote is now written on-chain and can be seen by any other UI / block explorer.
This is a revolution in decentralized voting... and the UI/UX is built seamlessly into Threads.
As we continue to release new features like the ones mentioned above and all the hundreds of features on our roadmap for this year and beyond, we think you'll see the everything app shape up as the ultimate Web3 experience. And it's all built on Hive 🦁🐝

This is an excellent update.
I just love this part because most times while trying to read replies to my thread, I have to click and click before I can see all but with this feature, it will just be one click.
Oh, this is amazing . Let Friday come already 😂😂
Why multiple images, if each image takes already so many charakters that hardly anything is left for the text? Or will images in future not count towards the character limit?
Yea in a later update, images will have a separate character counter
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That would be very cool. It sucks when you upload an image and have no more space to add some words.

Project Blank is everything app. This Friday will see amazing things. I am waiting patiently when i will use my phone directly without login through Hive keychain
That show parent update is going to be a huge quality of life change for sure.
With the image stacking I'm hoping image links wont be counted into the character count anymore 🙏
Keep up the good work excited to see this come out of Alpha and even bigger the ad buy back start kicking in. Has there been though of the ad buy back in terms of the pervious months that have been collected. Will it be one big lump sum or divided and cashed in over a period of time for a more gradual buy back over time?

Really with that update, engagement would get more meaningful.

I've been waiting for the mobile to get some attention, now it has and I can prepare to be more actively using threads.
Amazing updates!!!
Countdown to Friyay and all friyays!
The mobile view looks really good; I love the fact that the features were adapted to make it look perfect.
The parent thread is also a nice update. It is long overdue!
Awesome 👏

The challenges of trying to launch alpha.leofinance.io with hivekeychain via mobile browsers will be over.
Let Friday comes. I can't wait oh.
This post have be promoted on Thread
This is incredibly important and something people will like! Having a set schedule is a huge step for reliability and perception, love to hear it!
The mobile update is going to be huge, I already use mobile on bed (and the toilet lol) so this update is very much welcomed.
So glad to hear about the parent Thread, sometimes I feel like I'm jumping into a halfway convo and I have no way of knowing whatsup, this will increase engagement by a lot.
Can't wait to reply with GIFs, I already have my reaction folder ready to be unleashed lol
Overall this is a great post, love to see how much is in store for this week!

Good to see the mobile getting some updates here too,nice development from the team

Keep it coming fam. I’m Loving it. To be honest these developments are coming faster than I anticipated, I love this focus on Leofinance itself through project blank. I can’t imagine the amount of more attention it’ll garner in the heat of a bull market. Good times ahead.

This is really an impressive update. What I love so much here is the mobile view, enabling users from mobile devices to just use it from any browser and not just from keychain. All the other updates are amazing too. Cant wait to check for updates every Friday
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The new mobile view is really amazing. With all of that to go live this Friday, it means that by April 5 when the adoption campaign starts, threading would have become more seamless.

The way I have been looking around for Project Blank and did not know it was LeoThreads -- THANK YOU!
Friday = PatchDay 👍🏽
Hivesigner, Hiveauth login 👍🏽
Show Parent Thread 👍🏽
GIFs, Emojis and Image Stacking ... Unlinking the link/image character count from the 240 is much more important i think.
Keep up the good work 🚀🌕👍🏽

This is awesome. Project Blank-AKA, leo threads is such an amazing project. Can't wait for Friday and Fridays.
Mobile experience and ad revenue will be the big two to drive the platform forward. Can't wait to see it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Very exciting developments. I look very forward to being able to Thread from an Android-native mobile app rather than having to use Hive Keychain, which works, but, it's the Browser, which still has some rough edges to the UI.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
From Friday, there will be no more stress from hive keychain. All my stress trying to find personal notifications will be things of the past. Excellent. You guys are doing cool underground work just to keep us moving. Alpha UI, welcome to our world
