RE: TravelFeed blogs are live: Get yours now!

in TravelFeed3 years ago

This is really amazing guys. It's what i have been talking about for the past year in terms of building tools for regular people to use. This is something that even i can do in minutes. I've tried wordpress and it is not easy.

It's the start of how i imagine communities to be with customizable options for the site and a token backed by ad revenue to monetize it.
So interesting to see how you have gone and built it for personal blogs and i really love what you have done.

Hopefully over time we can see this become the norm for all kinds of blogs on hive now that your team has created such a good innovation for other to be inspired by.

If possible could you add hive
keychain support as hivesigner is really poor for user experience? Just something to consider, thanks.

Thank you! :) We believe that blockchain is approaching the turning point that the internet passed 20 years ago, where it went from that complicated thing for nerds to something everyone uses everyday without even thinking about it - and for blockchain to become accessible to everyone, it needs to become easy to use. We are happy to be one of many projects working on that :)

Thanks for your suggestion! We actually used to support Keychain, but moved to a different system in April when many nodes experienced issues with the hard fork mess (with some still running on Steem and others permanently offline or temporally overwhelmed) and the only thing we could do was to tell users to switch nodes on their end in the Keychain settings. In our new system, we post to Hive from our server through the posting authority given by Hivesigner. All posts are processed in a queue system, so if there is a problem with a node, we can switch to a different node (or run our own) and if the user doesn't have enough RC, the queue system will retry for 24 hours. The same applies if Hive would experience a downtime due to a hard fork - TravelFeed continues to work and will sync with the blockchain once Hive nodes are working again. This is how we can offer a smoother, faster and more reliable experience than most other dApps. We will look into integrating Keychain login with this new system, but this would work through posting authority and not by confirming each transaction manually like in most Keychain implementations.

Yeah hivesigner is a really really confusing experience i tried to log into your site yesterday and frankly I couldn't understand how to use hivesigner its that bad.

You can feel free to use our open-source Beacon software to know the status of nodes ... and I'm told you can give a suggestion to keychain for the user telling keychain which node to use.

Keychain login is live now - thanks again for the suggestion!

That sounds great, thanks for the info! Will definitely look into it

Just wanted to let you know that we are now supporting Keychain login - thanks again for your suggestion!
