Hive offers multiple frontends for its social apps and users to interact with. This gives the users the freedom to choose their favorite one. Some of them filter out the content and focus just on a specific content. Hive is showing how constrained we are on traditional web2 apps like X/Twitter. I use multiple frontends on Hive for different purposes and really like the freedom to shift between them and select what I want.

Ecency is probably the most comprehensive Hive dApp with a web site, desktop application and a phone app. And from just a few days ago a new app for short form posting called waves. Its phone app is the most used app for a general Hive experience with notification system and all.

I have been making some improvements to the hbdstats.com page, mainly on the backend side. Up until recently the web page was a client only, meaning there was no backend server or database for it. The line charts for the debt and the hbd in savings were with hardcoded values and manually updated from time to time.

Short answer = conversions. But let’s look at some details. As per the latest report on Hive inflation, it has been running hot for a third month in a row. The yearly Hive inflation for 2024 is projected around 6%, while we are now on the way to reach 10%. The monthly projected inflation is set at 0.5% and we are above 1% for the last three months, with August almost close to 1.5%. Double and almost triple on a monthly basis.
