@hivemined​ inquires:       ‘ on the moon, if you don’t like something, you can just throw it upwards into space. if you try to do that here, the enemy known as gravity gets in the way. ’ / from isa !!

@hivemined​   /   prompt. “   you   don’t   have   to   be   like   that  .   ”   /   from big sexie !!

cloud   turned   his   head   away   slowly ,   an   unsure   but   yearning   look   in   his   eyes   as   worried   brows   pinched .           ❛   it’s   not   that   simple .   ❜          he   admitted ;     tone   quiet ,   somber .

he   wasn’t   sure   where   to   begin   or   if   he   even   wanted   to   ───   the   less   people   who   knew   the   truth   the   better   and   cloud   wouldn’t   allow   anyone   else   to   be   dragged   into   his   messes .           ❛   listen ...     you’ve   got   enough   on   your   plate   keeping   hollow   bastion   standing .          don’t   worry   about   me .   ❜

@hivemined​ said :  “ heeeeeey, sorry i sorta bailed on that last mission, ” starts demyx, pointing his finest little pout at his friend, “ you don’t mind, right, hotshot? i mean you killed it out there. you really didn’t need lil’ old me. ” despite the integrity of his act, a wide grin spreads across his face, aquamarine sparkling sincerely, but mischievously. “ looks like both of us are off the clock now, though. wanna have some fun? hmmmm? ”

with   an   eye-roll   at   his   friend   -   who’d   chosen   now   to   apparate.   he   shook   his   head   -   spikes   bouncing   with   the   motion.      he   wasn’t   the   most   hard-working   guy   himself   -   he   liked   to   chill.   relax.   take   in   the   scenery,   whatever.   but   demyx   -   how   xemnas   let   him   get   away   with   being   so   slack   he’d   never   know.      and   he   knew   it   pissed   saix   off   to   no   end.   

@hivemined​ said:  “ i’ve always been meaning to ask you, ” heavenly blues glance up toward the taller, stars of wonder twinkling in their irises, “ how did you find that spot at the clock tower? i can’t imagine you just sitting there by yourself. ” roxas admits, gaze momentarily wandering off as his imagination beckons it somewhere less engaging than axel’s eyes, stimulating his almost childish ability of focus. “ either way, i’m glad it became our special place. ”

The time has come. Hive is ready (mostly) for you, the awesome people, to use it. All the core features are in: subscribing to sites, reading those sites, sharing stories, commenting, liking, staring and xml import from google reader. The UI/UX is awesome and getting better. There are still some features I am adding/fixing and I will be doing that forever. Really excited to put this in your hands right away and get feedback. Announcing the closed beta of HiveReader ** web 3.0 viral rss social synergy network website.***

Wait a minute. I’m new here. What’s Hive? Hive is the best place on the internet to read the internet. At it’s core it’s a reader app. You subscribe to your favorite sites and read them all in one simple interface. It’s also so much more. What happened to Hivemined? Why the name switch? This was a much discussed topic. After explaining to the 100th person. "no, HiveminEd, with an e. Like miners" Something had to change. We've all been calling it Hive anyway. So why not call a horse a horse and a reader a reader? And horse.com is taken. Hivemined has become the default user we all follow (ala tom) also the blog title is still hivemined. How do the keys work? When you get a key it has N number of uses. So you can bring your friends in and get down to business or just post it wherever you want. I suggest you hire a plane to skywrite it. What does it look like on the inside? Like this: (yeah, I liked my own post)

Other Common Questions:

On Oct 21, 2011 I said this. About a week later Google shut down the share feature and got rid of your followers. I wrote code and had a replacement sloppily built shortly after. Which I then tried to refine, over the course of the last year (with some interruptions due to anxiety and job work keeping me busy). Realized It wasn't going so hot, and started over. Hivemined.org is now on it's 3rd rewrite. I have been calling it Return of the Jedi(v3). The 1st version was just as fast as I could type it, that frantic weekend and couple days last Oct and Nov. Then v2, ( where the infamous 81% came from ) a front end speed up and redesign. After beating my head trying to make it better for quite a while it then dawned on me that I was approaching this the wrong way from a architecture stand point and the code was never gonna get better. That brings us to v3. Return of the Jedi(v3) is a complete rewrite. All new code written from the ground up with all the knowledge I have now from v1 and v2. It's super fast, and robust. The feeds updates in real time (pubhubsubbub). It can handle nearly all feeds, whatever error they might have or other weirdness. Works on nearly any language. My testing feeds have 50'ish Arabic(left to right text), 20'ish Chinese / Japanese / Korean, and a dozen in other languages (not to mention 1000's of other feeds in English ). The feed engine and 'reader' side are done'ish ( backend:99%, frontend: 50% ). Sharing/Social is the next thing after that gets all finished. ( Backend: 30%, fronend: 0%) I'm invested in hivemined.org a 100%. It will be done or I think I might go mad, lol. I want it to be real, complete and to use it. Nearly every day I am checking my reader and there is at least one story I still move the mouse to click share :( I am slowly pushing my way to a finished, at least base line of features done, product. As soon as I have something worth users, I plan on sending out a ton of invites and letting everyone know. It's gonna be awesome. Here some stats and other cool info. Lines of python: Hive-v2:                     6099 Return of the Jedi:  11085 These are numbers without extra libraries. This is the code that powers the site currently. Lines of Javascript: Hive-v2:          a lot Return of the Jedi:   even more Both have too many Javascript lines to count with the all the libraries. I had a hard time getting counts without jquery/backbone/etc.. getting in the way. Let's just say there is a lot of javascript going on. Site and Followers: 1,224 visitors to the lander page last month. (avg 40ish a day) 1,855 followers on twitter (awesome) 5,544 people on the email list. (awesome!!) I get 3 to 5 emails a week about hive and its status I may not respond to them all, but I read them and it makes me feel awesome.

Closing

You guys and girls are awesome. Keeps me going that other people want and need this everyday. When Hive comes it's gonna be awesome! Built for sharing, community and content. The same community who has stuck by me and this project. For those who still know the best way to share and comment on things and wish for it back. For the 1000+ (someone made this and I found it, lol)
