Snapie’s Cooking Something Big (and it’s finally ready 🐝🔥)
Hello frenz… 🐝
I’ve been a busy little bee.
Like… really busy.
Behind the scenes I’ve been cooking up a batch of upgrades that turned out way bigger than I expected. What started as “a few tweaks” turned into a full-on transformation.
This one’s a bit wild.
We’re rolling it out on Android first (gotta test the honey before serving it 🍯), and once everything feels smooth, iOS will follow right behind.
Now… I could hit you with a wall of tech jargon…
…but let me show you what this actually means for you 👇
🚀 What’s New on Snapie
🎙️ OpenPods (Hangouts) Are Here!
You can now jump into live audio rooms inside Snapie.
Think:
- Poice rooms for a Podcasts
- Chill conversations
- Spontaneous debates
- Late-night rambling with internet strangers
But better… because it’s ours.
You can:
- Create your own room (by clicking on the mic icon 🎙️ next to search)
- Join others instantly
- Chat while talking 🗨️
- Raise your hand to speak ✋ (civilized bees only 🐝)
- Even record the session 🔴 and turn it into a Snap
And here’s the fun part…
👉 When you create a room, it automatically gets announced to the community as a Snap!
No shouting into the void. Snapie’s got your back.
💰 Your Wallet… Finally Makes Sense
I fixed something that lowkey bothered me for a while.
You can now actually see what’s happening with your wallet.
- Who sent you funds
- What you sent out
- Rewards, power-ups, power-downs
- Clean timestamps like “2h ago”
No more guessing or opening other apps. No more “wait… where did that go?”
It just works.
🖼️ Images That Don’t Feel Like 2009
This one’s simple… but huge.
You can now:
👉 Swipe through images like a normal human being
Tap a photo → opens full screen
Swipe left/right through all images
See your position (like 2 / 5)
It feels like social media should feel.
Finally.
🔐 Active Keys… But Make It Safe
Alright, this one matters.
You can now securely add your Active Key with:
- Biometric protection (FaceID / fingerprint / PIN)
- Proper validation
- Clear “Full Access” vs “Posting Only” indicators
Translation:
- 👉 More power when you need it
- 👉 Safety when you don’t
No weird compromises.
👥 Multiple Accounts (About Time)
If you’re juggling accounts… I got you.
You can now:
- Add multiple accounts
- Switch between them easily
- Remove them if needed
No log-out, log-in circus anymore.
Just tap → switch → done.
🧠 Posts Actually Render Properly Now
This one is subtle… until you notice it.
- Hashtags are clickable (hsnap's tags looked broken)
- Markup Profile links work
- Images render correctly (through a proxy, shoutout to louis88 for this safety bug)
- Videos, tweets, embeds… all behave right
Basically:
👉 Things look the way they were meant to look
🐛 And Yeah… I Squashed a Ton of Bugs
Not the fun kind of bugs. (can't think of a single fun one right now either)
The annoying ones.
Login weirdness → fixed
Android quirks → handled
Random crashes → hunted down
Snapie went full exterminator this week.
📊 The “I Didn’t Sleep Much” Section
- 150+ commits
- 10+ major updates
- 6 big new features
- Dozens of fixes
Not saying I turned into a heartless machine…
…but I might be more robot than bee now 🤖🐝
🔮 What’s Next?
I’m not slowing down.
Next up:
- Polishing Hangouts (this one’s gonna evolve fast)
- Making the wallet even better (savings, claims, etc)
- Performance upgrades
- iOS rollout
🐝 Final Words
This update… it’s different.
Snapie is starting to feel less like “an app I’m building out of love” and more like…
👉 a place people can actually hang out
And that’s the whole point.
So go try it. Break it. Tell me what feels off.
I’m listening 👀
— Snapie 🐝
This....All of this!!!
Can't wait to get the iOS version to play around with it.
Great stuff Snapie, you are crushing it!!
Amazing work. At this point your energy is keeping me hopeful about the future.
Unrelated but relevent: Persoanlly I think hive needs an app with a radical artistic design. I have an idea for a hivester who i think would design something that would bring in lots of young people and artists to the ecosystem if she ever did visual design but i dont wanna say her name here in case she’s not interested and its definetly a radical choice haha
Ill tell you in private if you want, though my sense is most hive projects somehow prefer the corproate feel or something safe and “normal” 🥲
Excellent, I'm trying it right now
You've created magic, what a tremendous update! Congratulations on this achievement. Pure gold.
So it means we have a private room to talk with friends in decentralized media..
Awesome improvements! Can‘t wait to test it out on my iphone. @snapie has become apart from @ecency my daily gateway to Hive. 🙌🏻
OMG I am going to have my section love Radio finalmente jajaj
Wow! An amazing update.
Congratulations @meno - you're doing great.
Keep it up.

You have solved the problem, that has been around hive universe for a long time. "Live audio section". Am not sure if any other hive related projects have the feature already?
when I first heard of Snapie, I knew that this project will solve many problems.
Well, I think people always come against this particular suggestion, but they are secretly enjoying the benefits of that from other social networks.
I have to tell you the truth; It is hard for a platform to survive without external revenue. You know this. Don't mind this people who behaves like hypocrites, speaking against "ads".
They question I should be asking them is: why are they hunting for the same ads revenue share from X (twitter)?
Yes! Because a see a lot of them there on X hunting for ads revenue shares, while they are speaking against that here.
They are hypocritic idiots. People don't like me because I speak the truth. Am not not concerned with that if you like me or not.
You have done ✅ well @snapie. But consider ads options and monthly subscriptions, that will greatly help this project. Leave all these hypocritic people.
I love this update
Thank you
Have a great day
This is awesome.... lots of bugs had been squashed for sure!
I am gonna try it out soon.... it's gonna be more fun 😁
That's a major upgrade.

STOPThank you again for updating the Github package! As I mentioned on one of the snaps I was pretty stoked to see that there was one after forever XD The difference is palpable.
In the short stint I had with it before I very reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and while I was waiting for Eldest at the dentist the only thing I could find to nitpick about was the reply form being on a different page, and that's only because I'm not smart enough to always remember what I'm replying to (and I overthink everything).
I'll be trying to find some time to play around with it a bit more ^_^

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko
Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

This is awesome news! With Hangouts, I can't see any obstacle to moving Hive Thrive and Witness Town Hall from Discord to Snapie! I will definitely poke around it and hopefully, reboot my #HHHLive show...
I suppose it works on a desktop too? I mean, regular browsers?
Sharing with Ourpick for bigger exposure!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions Posts!
Please consider voting for our Liotes HIVE Witness. Thank you!
Some serious work gone into this.. Keeps getting better and better and I love these audio rooms.
Congratulations @snapie! Your post has been a top performer on the Hive blockchain and you have been rewarded with this rare badge

It's looking good! I still see room for improvement, like some img links that aren't rendering properly, non-clickable links.
I'm missing freedom of choice inside the platform.
Reach out on Discord if you want to see the platform I'm putting together (and feel free to ask or steal from it). It's tough doing that stuff alone and only in spare time 😂
will do.. im super curious
Thank you for this, will be checking it out very very soon :)
Hangouts feel like the missing piece
