2024-08-15 - Hive Inbox / hReplier - working on a new Release for AppStore & PlayStore

Updates on self-funded project "Hive Inbox / hReplier"

PlayStore release is in review for over 4 days

• Our Google PlayStore release is in-review state for over 4 days
• By looking at it, our assumption is that, we should submit a new version
• New version will override this release & hopefully will be reviewed by Google soon.

App Updater - not working on iOS - fixed

• App Updater was not working on iOS.
• It basically needs a URL to generate AppUpdate prompt. But without AppStore release, we didn't have this value for iOS.
• App Updater prompts user to update the App whenever there is a new version available on Stores.
• We've addressed this issue & it is fixed.

Ignoring Vote when it's set to 0%

• What to do when voting slider is set to 0% & user taps on "Upvote & Reply"?
• Today, we discussed & finalised that, instead of warning user, let's just broadcast reply/comment only.
• We've implemented this improvement & it'll be available in next release.

Overview on set of code changes done today

• We take small small steps each day to improve the app.
• But it seems like app is functional now & except few improvements, we're all set.
• So, we'll be switching our focus to next self-funded project "Hive Stats" for hive users.

A new Menu item in the drawer

• "Hive Inbox / hReplier" - The whole app's idea was inspired by "Engage App" built by him.
• Clicking on the mention on menu item, it redirects to the original app developed by @arcange.
• In next release of both apps (iOS & Android), we'll update & add details mentioning his vision & his apps in the app.

Progress on Known bugs

• ✅ Infinite loading indicator
  • Sometimes users get this infinite loading indicator. We've added time out for this & we'll ship a new bug-fix release soon.
• ✅ Filter for Outgoing / Incoming Replies
  • Users have requested for adding filters for incoming & outgoing replies.
  • We'll take this feedback & improve app soon.
• ✅ When it's at 0%
  • When slider is at 0%, only broadcast comment & not vote.
