This can actully be a very powerful feature rolling forward. I'm not so sure I love the fact that it's only hive front end and wonder if it can be some how tied into other hive-engine front ends with their own token? If it can be then I can see that as big a huge with for community owners and being able to really build something unique of their community and their community token. However if they can simply go to hive.blog, peakd etc and post to the community via there it would totally negate the benefits.
But if that is the direction then A LOT more people are going to need to be joining and using hive for this to be productive. I don't feel there's enough users yet to even have a need for filtering content but it would be good for later on down the road as Hive grows to 10,000 or 100,000 daily active users.
I am not very familiar with the way those front ends work, but I would assume they don't use hivemind so they can't benefit from it. Although nothing prevents them from building their own hybrid solutions (hive engine tokens + communities front end) like leoFinance.
Good stuff I always have a hard time deciphering the two as I'm more of a end user/investor and not so much on the dev end of things. As always I appreciate your work, feedback and insight.
Easy, Hive-Engine is NOT Hive and uses a separate code base and databases. It could shutdown tomorrow and it has no impact on Hive.
Just remember Hive-Engine is NOT Hive
