Ureka.Social: Now Supporting Threads! Plus UI Improvements & Performance Optimisation!
Hey Everyone,
Another exciting batch of changes for the new Hive dApp Ureka.Social.
The most significant change is that Ureka now supports Threads - short-form posts (microblogging) similar to the format found on Twitter/X.
I chose to implement the LeoThreads model that inleo uses because it was the first on Hive and I know a lot of people are already familiar with it. You will now see a new selector on the feeds page at Ureka that enables you to switch between Articles and Threads. They are both still Hive posts under the hood, but Articles are regular Hive blogs/posts and Threads are the short-form microblogs.
Let me know how you get on with the new system.
I've also fixed some performance issues and corrected a few bugs, in particular, the API server selection system is now working properly - so you should be able to use Ureka at higher speed now, choosing an API server nearer your own geographical location.
Note: I have decided not to implement support for 'Crossposts' at this time. After investigating the mechanism, I realised that it is a PeakD specific system and relies on new posts being created which could be abused to steal rewards from the original content creator surreptitiously.
Full Change List
Added: Support for Leo Threads on Feeds page.
Improved: UI design of post previews.
Improved: API server auto selection process and fallback.
Improved: API server testing and UI.
Improved: UI design of reputation values.
Fixed: Tag filtering on Feeds page.
Fixed: API server selection not persisting.
Fixed: 'Browse all communities' page was not reachable.
Fixed: Performance issues called by excessive API calls.
Fixed: Bookmarking via HiveAuth on mobile
Fixed: Bookmarking missing from mobile menu

Absolutely! Ureka is starting to feel more like 🏠
I find it intuitive, just logged in now. I will use it extensively before I can share my feedback. But I must tell that microblogging is my natural home in the social media domain. I simply love it. I have posted more than 13000 threads in Leothreads, I will explore ureka.social.
Thank you.
Wow okay that's a lot of threads! I'm interested to hear your feedback.Thank you 🔥
🙏🙏🙏
I gave a try and it's very convenient have threads near articles, one thing, would it be possible to add a filter for threads of following users only? That would be awesome
Great, you should already be able to use the following button on the feeds page to do that.I
Right! Very good!
One thing, I did a test on reply to your thread, but it got stuck here on refreshing comments after submitting it
Ah ok, I will take a look. I haven't seen that problem here. Are you using Android or Apple? Which browser? Thanks
I'm on android, Keychain mobile browser
