Introducing Veews
We had big plans when we join the blockchain almost 5 years ago. And one of those dreams became a reality tonight....
Welcome to Veews.io - The first content discovery engine on Hive.
WTH is a content discovery engine?
One of the biggest needs we saw on Hive was a way for users to not only find, but engage with content that they loved. Before today, you had a few options like communities, trending topics and your own following. But as for discovering new content, that was tough.
Veews helps you discover new content on Hive by matching you with content that you ACTUALLY like! And the more you use Veews, the more targeted the content gets to what you want to spend your time on reading, watching and....Veewing :)
The process is as simple and all you need is a Hive account and @Keychain to log in...
Once you are in simply check off some categories that you have an interest in and start 'Veewing'.
A post will appear in the 'Veewer' and all you need to do is thumb up the content you like, and thumb down the content you don't. It's that simple.
And the more you use Veews, and give your thumbs up or down to content, the machine learning behind the screen does it's thing...You will start seeing more and more content that you absolutely love!
But wait....There's more....
This is a Hive front end!
So while the 'Thumbs up / Thumbs down' votes on Veews helps the platform to learn what to present to you...You can also upvote the content you enjoy as well, using Veews directly.
On top of that, you can also leave a comment or two, and engage with the content creator plus take part in the lively discussions on Hive :)
A few notes about this BETA launch of Veews:
-
This is beta, and we wanted to get an MVP out for the community. So right now, it's just the bare bones of the site. We are looking for people to give their feedback as well as provide any bugs reports they may come across. You can submit bug reports via the Veewer and Feedback inside your dashboard.
-
This is a bare bones MVP, so the site will get a fresh pain job when we go full launch. Right now, there isn't much inside to poke around at, but we'll keep adding things ;)
-
During BETA, we are only showing posts within the 7 day payout window. The plan in the future is to open it up to the entire Hive database! Which will integrate a form of tipping...
-
Which brings us to...Tokenization of Veews! YES, there will be a token involved as full tokenomics revealed for the platform. However during BETA we are more interested in getting the kinks out first and then putting the layer 2 tokens into the site! Will this be a brand new token or a pre-existing one? You'll have to stay tuned ;)
-
You can embed @threespeak , @aureal , @vimm ,YouTube, Twitch and Vimeo links into Veews. And they will all play directly inside the app. If you have an app and you want to make sure it's able to play inside of Veews, pop by our Discord!
-
Veews is mobile friendly! And works flawlessly with the @Keychain mobile browser.
Yes, we have plans to develop a mobile app as well for Veews down the road :)
- And so much more....
We will continue to update everyone on how the app progresses but right now....
We need you Hive :)
Poke around!
Veew some content!
Give us feedback!
And help us develop the coolest content discovery engine ever built!
Hope you guys love it!
