A new release of peakd.com is now available. Keep reading to discover the new features and check the full list of improvements ;)
The new release is now live at https://peakd.com
1. Messaging system powered by BeeChat
A lot of your requested this during our latest AMA and now it's available. You can check the new messaging system powered by BeeChat (read more here and here) at https://peakd.com/chat. Or if you are already on PeakD you should see a brand new icon in the top bar to quickly access the chat.
This is a preview of the full chat page:
But you can also quickly check the chat from other pages on the website:
Please keep in mind that this is just the first release of the messaging system and that we are going to keep improving it in the coming weeks. Also an huge thanks to the BeeChat team (@aggroed and @reazuliqbal) for their awesome work and support.
NOTE: When using the messaging system please be sure to read and understand how it works. Here a quick recap:
- PeakD uses an external chat system called BeeChat developed by @aggroed and @reazuliqbal. Read more HERE.
- BeeChat verifies the identity of Hive users validating the signature of a short message
- BeeChat is integrated on multiple websites, not just PeakD
- Presently BeeChat is NOT encrypted. Please be careful with what you share using this chat system (until there is a solution to improve upon this)
- It is a new system still in development and we can expect that there will be more features available in the future
2. Mentions/Users autocomplete in Editor
This is something users have been asking for quite some time but took us a while to find a proper solution to handle it. But finally you can easily mention users in your posts or comments easily.
We do our best to suggest accounts relevant to a specific conversation, but if are not able to find them we do a lookup for the best matches between all Hive users. Give it a try and let us know if you have any feedback to make it better.
3. Improve Power Up/Down with sliders
This is more an improvement than a completely new feature but should make the life easier for some users. It's now easier to Power Up/Down in your wallet using sliders so you don't have to manually specify the HP amount:
4. Some minor improvements and bug fixes

We have a proposal on the Decentralized Hive Fund. You can review the proposal here.
If you agree to the proposal and you think the points mentioned add value to the Hive Blockchain consider supporting it using the above links or directly with this link.
We also run a witness server to help produce the blocks for the Hive Blockchain. You can vote for our witness so we are in a position to process more of them.
