For me, Leofinance and Veews stand out on Hive.
This isn't necessarily because of what they can do now. That is rather limited compared to some of the rest that is out there (especially Veews) which was just released.
What really gets me excited is the potential of both. They are ahead of the rest simply because of the outlook of the teams behind the projects. This is an important criteria.
The social media world is undergoing a major change. At the same time, we are seeing another evolutionary step in cryptocurrency. With so much happening, adaptability is paramount.
Each of these teams shows a willingness to indulge in the areas where success is going to be found. In short, none will be had by adhering to the status quo.
Leofinance and Veews: The Everything Apps
This is a concept mentioned by Elon Musk relating to Twitter. It is one of the reasons why I believe he will be widely successful with that platform. He has the vision to make it one of the largest financial institutions in the world. Of course, whatever it becomes, it will still be Web 2.0.
Elon has no problem with centralization, regulation, and the existing system. He prefers to operate within it, something he does very well. That said, for us on Hive, we feel the next phase of wealth generation is found outside what is already in place. To us, Web 3.0 carries more value.
The key to this is the fact that Hive is being called the "Everything Protocol". Being involved in discussions (along with writing articles) about some of the ideas for futher progress has provided insight into how things could unfold. It is true we have to build it yet that is taking place.
Boring down even further, from the ecosystem level, we find the applications. Here is where the concept of the "Everything App" comes into play. To me, project teams have to be thinking about this for long-term success. Ultimately, it makes no sense for people to use dozens of applications, each focusing upon a different area. Musk is aware of this.
We can bring the same mindset to Hive.
The difference is that, with Hive, there is incentive for the applications to enhance the features offered. Since all are pulling the same data, it only makes sense to incorporate as much as possible into the application. This is where we can take on what Twitter is doing.
Right now, the only ones looking in that direction (to my knowledge) are Veews and Leofinance.
They both have mentioned the desire to be the "Everything App".
We will see if they pull it off.
Bringing Something Unique Then Building Upon It
Both applications took a novel approach.
Leofinance brought microblogging at the comment level to the table. This is a unique proposition, one we have yet to fully realize. Nevertheless, this could be an opening to a different approach to Hive. If nothing else it caters to an alternate set of users, a group that is orders of magnitudes larger than blogging.
Veews is bringing content discovery to Hive. It is also positioning itself where it can be one of the hubs for content distrubtion. This will be novel to have in one place if that is added.
Ultimately, the features on the base layer can all be incorporated into these applications. Simply by being tied to blockchain, we see the instant merging of social media with finance. This is something that Musk is looking at doing also. The difference is the financial part, i.e. wallet system, is already standard.
We are going to see a race to the ones who integrate this concept into their development. Naturally, being on Hive does not mean competition in the traditional sense. Anything that is done through a front end enhances the ecosystem, thus anyone holding Hive Power.
By continually thinking about the expansion of social media along with finance, the community can evolve at a pace faster than the likes of Musk can. This is the difference between complex, organic decentralized system and a company.
We have project teams working on many different things. All of this tied into Hive.
Let the fun begin.

Goes to show you what even a little work on Algo does for making a platform better. Just like I don't want to go on twitter and see a bunch of random spam the same would go for threads etc. One of the easiest ways is going to be for them to simply show a following tab where it filters to only people I'm following but defaults to all when I first get on.
Veew has been great for finding some fresh new content.

Each day I give out some upvotes to people I never came across before. This is how it starts. Get a trickle flowing into some newer wallets.
It might not be much but something is how it starts.

I totally agree it's how it starts and it's a great move in the right direction
It's great to show that we can build the alternatives over here on Hive and I don't really think I like Elon's everything app. In my view, he is pursuing profits and it's not really going to be for the average little guy. It's better than the free speech before but that is all that it is offering.

The pieces are starting to fall into place. It is a slow process but there is a foundation now. A lot of good things happening.

Honestly the world of social interaction is beginning to experience a change on decentralization.
Veew is an interesting site though I have only used leofinance.
I look toward Elon embracing the idea of decentralization when he sees the benefits attached.

Veews is completely different to Leofinance. It is like nothing else on Hive up to this point.

An interesting new site. Its nice to see another microblogging site, and I will watch it closely to see how it evolves.

I like Veews too. I heard a rumor that the team that built it is in the Unicorn Saving business. Very important in this day and age :)

It's pretty much just like Stumbleupon which certainly had its day back in 2010. It's funny how this stuff comes back when you can stick it on the blockchain. I'll give it a whirl

First I have heard of the dapp veews and I must confess I am having A good time using it, still, lot's to be done but so far so good and it's A unique way to find the stuff that I want to read.
The #leo community on #hive is fantastic and with the #leothreads I find it A nice twitter-like platform to share and contribute to.
I enjoy them both as well, but I'm a little biased :)
Seriously though, what amzing potential we have here on Hive. Find your community, plug in, use the apps…No need to go anywhere else :)

Could you explain how Veews work? I could not understand properly why a like or dislike would matter.
