More butter for the Pancreas

I love the fact that people are getting involved. I love the feedback, the ideas, the little sparks that end up making our apps better.

Last night, as I was winding down, @kesolink and @eddiespino were chatting and planning improvements to 3Speak’s newest front end.

We need new feeds.

The consensus came pretty quickly. And I hate to say it, but it does feel like 3Speak, on its own, was never really used as a Hive front end with video. It was more like the place where you upload videos so they show up on your blog — but actually hanging around, browsing other creators, replying, interacting… that’s a whole different story.

Now, to be clear: 3Speak doesn’t aim to become a “normal” Hive front end. That wouldn’t make much sense. But it also can’t be a front end that needs crutches.

If you want to follow a tag, or see what your people have posted — and only them — you should be able to do that right there, with a click or two. Tops.

As the title says: more butter for the Pancreas

The tiny REST API keeps getting beefier.

Can I say a pancreas is beefier? That feels both correct and incorrect at the same time. Is the pancreas edible? That’s the real question.
But I digress.

This morning — because YOLOs and whatnot — I implemented two new endpoints in Pancreas:

  • One for searching and surfing tags

  • One for feeds, very much like our beloved Hive front ends

That’s it. That’s the magic.

Now all that’s left is for Keso to plug it into the front end and wham bam thank you ma’am — liftoff. Houston, we have no problems. I think. Probably. Point is: I’m excited.

These upgrades, these ideas coming together — this is the good stuff. And I think we should all be excited about where this is heading.

Long live the Pancreas.

Jjjeeee I don't know all about these advancements, but I love the motivation and what they're achieving. The audio features you can create in Snapie are fantastic!

Congratulations on this great work

I love what you're doing! Building is good.

Here's something...

I'm thinking of Hive as a social media site vs the king Tik Tok.

If you want to follow a tag, or see what your people have posted

I always check my feed a few times a day, to see what My People have posted. Sometimes I'll check a tag to see what people are posting on a topic. But maybe we're missing something here that we should have?

In my opinion, what some/most people want is a "For You Page" (FYP on Tik Tok) where they just open the app or go to the website and "the algorithm" shows you stuff it thinks you want to see. AI can show us not only things from those we follow, and not only from tags we recently looked at, but also related stuff from related folks we don't even know about, but who are creating content that we likely will like.

I could be missing it, because I'm a creature of habit an I go to "My Following" feed first every day on peakD.com. Maybe there is already a #FYP on some front end that shows you what it thinks you may like, and I haven't found it yet. But if we don't have a FYP on Hive, maybe we need one. Maybe that's the One Thing that will normalize Hive and attract the next wave of content creators some say we need to hit the Big Time.

Here's a super short YouTube video about FYP, just because YouTube videos are my thing. It's from 5 years ago. Tik Tok has done really well over the last 5 years. Maybe Hive will do well for the next 5 years with a FYP page.

Just my thoughts inspired by your great post. Thanks again for all you do!

thank you for sharing this brother... I agree an algo of sorts to help people find content is very much needed. I keep on thinking of how to do this without collecting much info, without reverting back to a web2 model... its a tall ask, but i agree its the way.
