RE: Hive Snaps: A simplified gateway into Hive's Ecosystem

You know I was so against Bastyon changing their name from Pocketnet, I thought Pocketnet was more for the times since a lot of people carry their phones around. Bastyon is more a feeling of a ship set sail to conquer the Vikings, and I think about that when I click on it. I like it though because it's a rapid scroll through multiple different discussions, ideas and meme's but I think the name hinders it's ability to attract the younger crowd who have the attention focus of a nat.
In all due honesty, I think Snapies is where you need to be, not Hive Snap. Even Snapies Ap or Snapies by Hive to give Hive acknowledgement, but with todays youth, it has to be catchy, short, simple and sound like a lot of fun. Or Snapies, with a fun ap by Hive, or something of a nature such as that, personally I'd do a straight Snapies with a Hive mention logo at the bottom, that's how simple it has to be, and honestly Snapies is it when it comes to attracting even the young jr high, high school crowd. You grab their attention young and maybe there's a good chance they'll mature into Hive as contributors. I think you are definitely on the right track with this, something that Hive itself could use, fun, simplicity, been saying it for a long time. Keep me posted, my new puppy does all sorts of crazy stuff I can post.
I'm not against a name change, I do however want to make sure new users know its built on Hive. I find it somewhat negative when an app built on hive doesn't even mention Hive at all (its happened a few times already). That said, I love the name Snapie, of course. My wife came up with it, so I'm biased, but I do enjoy the ring of it.
I think i agree with this comment. Snapie is a catchy name.
Couldn't it be Snapie 'powered by Hive' as the the under writing
I guess that is what I was trying to describe, an underwriting. I know if I took a goofy pic of one of my kids or grand kids and told them I was going to go post it on Hive Snap, they'd be like, okay mom or grandma, have fun. If I said I am going to go post this on Snapie, that just would come off as to much fun not to ask what is Snapie, inquiring minds would suddenly want to know. Hive Snap is not going to get the same reaction as Snapchat, Instagram, or even Facebook for that matter, they are going to be more intrigued by what is a Snapie, short, to the point, and sounds like fun. Hive Snap sounds like a new type of cheese cracker that has a crunch sound when you bite it. That's just my unbias opinion.
I think we should stop adding Hive in all the apps and work on Branding. People don't need to know it's built on Hive.
A very cool and catchy name by @sunlit7. SNAPIES 😎 Sounds so damn cute!
