P.S. I joined, but felt a bit confused on exactly what to do in the /issues. There was a select project button, but I didn't know what project to select. And even if I did, what would I write? And I could just upload my 4 mockups/examples, but I really feel the accompanying articles contain a lot of context, background, and marketing wisdom that would need to be read to understand them correctly, so just uploading the mockups alone seems... less than ideal.
Anyway, just wanted you to know I appreciate what you've provided and that I did my best to figure out how to best proceed. :) Rock the day, @thoughts-in-time ! 🙏
Hey Ryze, now that I think about it. The change that you are shooting for might be more applicable as a condenser change. The condenser or the frontend is the portal whereby you view the hive blockchain content; It is kind of like a web browser is to the internet. Hive is a lot of different things to different people, and the social media aspect is just one of those things. So, for example, if you take a look at 'hive[dot]blog'—you'll notice on the upper right it says: "What is Hive?" The link points to an external link that is hive.io.
I think another or potentially better hyperlink they could have up there is: "What is hive[dot]blog?" Instead of it being an external link to hive.io, it could be an internal link where 'hive[dot]blog' can explain the social media aspect of itself to the visitor. Peakd.com could also link to this page if they wanted. Let me show you an example of what I believe to be a successful condenser level issue that caused a change on peakd.com.
This issue right here, I think this is what led to the creation of collections on peakd.com. I am not 100% certain, but it may be what led to those. And you'll notice that peakd.com picked up that change before hive[dot]blog got around to it. Sorry, I missed this response all those days ago. So instead of where I first directed you, your landing page may be more fit as something that explains the social-media aspect of 'Hive.' More specifically, issues for the hive condenser.
I hope this helps some, please let me know. At its core, issues are a glorified suggestion box for movers, shakers, and idea people. Seeing as how the project is a decentralized and collective effort, this means anyone with the ambition and ability to describe the idea to the coders and the coders can make it happen. I don't know what happens after one creates an issue, if it gets voted on or how exactly that part of the process works.
Yep, condenser change sounds like it's on the right track. I explored it as marketing for hive.blog / PeakD in the comments-section as well as in The Sequel , but it may have gotten buried in the noise. Anyway, I totally agree with your idea here.
Thanks so much for linking to the issue, that's a great example for me that inspires me to submit my own.
Also, the metaphor of /issues as a suggeestion box is extremely helpful. I have a much better grasp on it now, and will put together something to submit, likely next week.
All good, I appreciate this response greatly, regardless of timing! You rock :) 🙏
Woo! Issue submitted in the 'hive condenser' repo you suggested. You can check it out here: Condenser Issue 142
Thanks for all your help! 🙏
Very nice Ryze, oh my, what have I done!? Just the other day, because of certain blockchain bastards—I said I wouldn't wish this place on my worse enemy. And now it seems you've submitted some very high-quality marketing materials, and people are going to have to learn the hard way just how much reality-bending it takes to acclimate to HIVE. Bring it on, like flies flying on in to check out that pretty blue light! I can feel the electricity in the air!
LOL, the truth is, this place truly does double as a Telenovela when it's not just being HIVE. It's all in the approach and how you decide to look at it. Great video, btw! You're very welcome, happy to help out. Hopefully, it'll draw the right eyes. I'm also slightly hopeful that a certain small fraction of our active userbase will get cured of their antisocial personality disorders overnight. But shit, I'd settle for decent landing pages too!
~ 🙏 ~
P.S. Give it time. You'll notice that many here have a very love-hate relationship with the platform. It's coded very amorally like mother nature, and since the "code is the law," people will justify the most heinous shit just because they can. dPoS is the law of power, and that means that you can do whatever you can do with your power just because you can. The truth is, we need an intelligent solution to solve the antisocial aspect of this social media monstrosity. However, for whatever reason, the Devs can't seem to either get motivated or creative enough to solve it. Anywho, as with anywhere; The good people can make this place a pleasure to hang around, and the assholes sometimes make it hell. That said, may the buyer be aware.
Glad you're feeling it, man. And lol, yeah, I totally get the love/hate thing. I'm good at what I do (teaching), so I guess we'll if anyone learns from what I offer and implements my marketing wisdom, or if they continue on the same old way. :)
The video took quite a bit of effort to make, so I'm happy it's resonating with people. Haha, feels like a telenovela sometimes.
I'm also hoping to 'cure' some antisocial behaviors, will I succeed? Who knows, lol.
Code may be law, but laws are written by people. ;) Buyer-beware indeed. Anyway, as always, you rock, I appreciate you, and thanks again.
P.S. For further marketing/onboarding help, I've been working on my beginner-friendly crypto-glossary for over a week now, and it should help a lot of beginners... just waiting on @atma.love 's proof-reading magic, but I may just post it uncorrected and let people yell at me in the comments, lol. #staytuned :) 🙏
You rock, Good Sir!
"P.S. For further marketing/onboarding help, I've been working on my beginner-friendly crypto-glossary for over a week now, and it should help a lot of beginners..."Oh that's fantastic! I can't wait to read it, I definitely need to brush up on crypto!

Totally mutual!
Here it is, 100,000+ character-count so I had to break it into two parts:
Hopefully it'll help you, it may not be perfect, but I learned a lot writing it. 🙏
Wow, Ryze, this is amazing!
Quite the masterpiece!
