HiveMind Multiplicity

HiveMind is a sideload package app for plurals of all kinds with multiple functions and plans on its way!

This blog is NOT owned by the developer of the app. I myself am an administrator, running this blog on behalf of the app's developer, EruditioniX.

What Is Our Purpose?

HiveMind's purpose is to provide the plural community a safe, private, offline-first priority, and properly designed app to track fronting, record their members, and understand their collective fully on their own, without any judgment or discrimination.

Downloading

PLEASE NOTE:

This app is still developing. Inevitably, this app will contain bugs and run into issues.

As a result of our lack of funds, and the many channels and hoops to get through, HiveMind is not available to download from any official app stores (yet), and must be downloaded via our provided packages.

To download HiveMind, you can access its official packages in our Google Drive folder.

If you have any...

[questions] | [comments] | [suggestions] | [bug reports] | [feedback],

or anything you want to share, HiveMind's inbox is always open.

As of right now, public/private serves no purpose since the app isn't online yet.

This may be revisited.

Parity (the syncing between devices) is a feature that would require HiveMind to be online, and/or connect to some sort of user identification (ex: User ID, Usernames, Emails, etcetera).

Where would I be able to see these notes / custom statuses? cause i cant find it in Stats, Fronting, Analytics, nor on the profile of the relevant headmate.

They used to really help us see *why* we switched, or what the headmate was thinking, doing, feeling as they took front.

Also, sorry if this has been asked multiple times, but is there a way to edit the fronting entries from one headmate to another?

it often happens for us that we forget to change from .blurry to whoever ended up fronting, so our .blurry profile seems to be fronting for days when its not quite accurate.

To answer the first half of the ask, I personally have not been able to find a way to see statuses/front types in the history. For now, I can only recommend maybe using the chat feature to document it until we can confirm anything.

As for the second half, while you cannot change a member's front to display a different member for that stretch of time, you CAN:

Add/Remove the member you're changing it to, then go into the history and edit the time/date by tapping/clicking the timestamps.

If it is okay to ask: Is there a way for users to import data from Octocon yet? And, if the ability to import from Octocon is still planned -- would it be possible to know what data would be imported (and what wouldn't)?

I remember reading that the import system for Octocon was bugged and that it would likely be fixed in a future update, although I don't think that there was any specific version in mind for it to be fixed at the time. ^^;;

Also, is there a changelog for version 1.1(5) available for us to see what is new / what has been changed and what bugs have been fixed so far? If not, then that's okay, too. ^^

Thank you for the wonderful app and all of the work that has been put into it so far.

I wish everyone on the team well. :>

We're working to streamline more processes, so that we can hopefully get a proper changelog/patch note list compiled.

As of right now, there is no direct Octocon -> HiveMind import option.

—

However, you can try this if you have an alt account or have a friend willing to help:

Export Octocon as a PK JSON.

Create a "backup" system on PK (hence the alt account), and import the file.

Import to HiveMind from this PK.

i can download the 1.0 version from itch.io just fine, but not 1.1 or 1.15.

1.1(5) is currently only recommended to be downloaded through the Google Drive File provided in our updated pinned post.

HiveMind Studio is still meant to be a surprise and gift to our users until we get closer to its release (postponed to 1.2).

However, I can safely say that HiveMind Studio will have more aesthetics and customization.

In fact, with the exception of Lite, all versions of HiveMind will have the same base and functions. (For Lite, it's likely to have less functions only for ease on your device.) So users who don't have Studio won't be missing out on core features (for example: if Studio had live-logging of alters, so would Balanced, as that isn't an aesthetic and is a feature).

—

One of the features included in Studio is:

• Unique alter theming, allowing the app to shift with the main fronter.

—

I can't give away too much, since details are still being worked out, and again, it's a gift of love. In other words, even I don't know much.

Remember that HiveMind Studio is planned to be a one-time-only affordable payment that only adds more aesthetic options. The expectation is a one-time payment of around $10 USD.

—

PLEASE NOTE:

Yes, as Studio works on a one-time payment, not a subscription, or feature-pay.

As of right now, HiveMind Studio is on a delay, and will likely not release until 1.2 at the earliest.

As of right now, HiveMind is not expected to be released as an open source any time soon.

While we had planned for it very early on, the community was very hostile and made the developer very uncertain about a future where unvetted users could add anything they wanted to the app.

We will likely not be needing a Linux package, as one was included in 1.1 originally, and our primary developer has switched over full-time to coding on a Linux device, which should make developing a package for it much simpler.

I know this is something other apps had in the past, toggle primaries while still keeping the running front time, it would be awesome to have that. (It it's not already a feature because it's very possible I'm just not seeing the option for it)

At this time, no. Though I believe this is by design, to show the changes in front types over time. "Started as x, ended front as x." If that makes sense.

Try doing an import again. It should only add what "doesn't exist," so in this case your custom field.

You can find this in our Carrd, but to clarify:

HiveMind implements Dart (Flutter), C++, CMake, Swift, HTML, and a few other obscure languages.

Hello, thank you so much for your kind words!

"Subsystem" is simply the term we use for folders/organization of members. We also have a tag feature, and have updated our relationship section to better suit groups.

Hello! Especially with the recent hopes of a website for HiveMind, we do intend to allow online functions in our future.

Online functions would include features such as friending, yes.

A stress test of 1.05 allowed for a maximum of (roughly) 10,000 members at full capacity. Many users with collectives ranging well into the hundreds, have successfully been able to import on their own devices.

assuming it is not coming to apple store (which is absolutely very very fair and reasonable, it costs a ton), will it have options for sideloading through altstore and/or sidestore for ios / ipados?

is there an assumed month/date it would come out if it hasn't?

We initially had a sideload package for iOS (.ipa file) in 1.1, though it was missing a payload file. This meant that iOS didn't actually acknowledge it as a valid package, and has since given users issues in sideloading.

Some users on iOS, Mac, or other Apple products have used emulators, and a handful have successfully downloaded the app through sideloading. So, you're certainly free to try.

The former team member that ran this blog has since transferred ownership, and parted ways with the team due to personal reasons. I hope things go well for them. 💚
