Hello there hiveans,
I'm back with more features on Inkito. Fundamental ones, I know, but I'm happy to be moving forward. I start with the essential and build up from there.
You can read more about the project in the Hive proposal in which I explain all of it.
But what is Inkito ?
Inkito is a new platform based on the Hive blockchain build specifically for the long form episodic content like comics or novels. It makes the reading experience better with an infinite loop and organises content as series throughout the site.
So here is what's new!
- A cookie banner
It appears first time you visit the site. Once you made your decision, it disappears for ever. I would be using cookies for the login access token and features like bookmarks.
Not essential though so you can refuse.
- The login link
That gets us to the login. You can now log to the site with hivesigner if you have an existing hive account. No register option for now but it will come.
Once logged in, you have access to a simple navigation menu on top.
- Voting
You can also vote on content.
- Fetching optimization.
I reworked my fetching calls to the hive api to reduce their number and so improve the overall speed of the site.
We are getting to the interesting stuff. I will be working next on the comment replies and follow features. Following will probably be to follow a creator rather than a series to mimic the hive implementation. I might be able to filter a reading list with the use of cookies though.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
For any interested Hive creator out there!
You can already add your content to the platform using the right tags.
Adding the series id on all corresponding posts, writing it as follows "author-seriesname" (example: "jrej-shadesofmen") The series name is for you to choose but must be the same for all episodes.
Adding the tag "inkito-comics" or "inkito-novels" on your most recent post for ranking.
Optionally you can add categories as tags in your first episode. The categories could be any of the following. "action, comedy, drama, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, scifi, sliceoflife"
The first post would include some of the main series info. The first image would be your series cover image and the title, the series title. Hope to see some of you over there.
Thanks for your support.
You can check out the alpha of Inkito at www.inkito.io
Any suggestions are welcome! Feel free to shout out any feature you'd love to see.
Stay tuned for more.
See you on the other side.
Jrej
