Wen New Threads UI | How We're Building Ease of Use for Microblogging On the Hive Blockchain

almost 2 years ago

When you're working with Web3 and blockchain tech, things can get complicated. One of the problems with Web3 right now is that those complexities are dumped on the users in a lot of ways.

With the new UI, one of our number #1 priorities is to reduce complexities that are given to the users.

Our goal is to make the backend extremely robust and handle all of these complexities. It is intended to hide those complexities from the users.

If you've used https://leofinance.io/threads so far, then you'll see some of this already in action. Threads gives a twitter-like experience and shoves a ton of complexities into the background of the UI.

The new UI does this but does it much bigger and better since we built it up from scratch.

Listen to this clip and hear some of the philosophies we've had going into the build-out of this new UI.

In blockchain things don't confirm instantly
Actions on-chain get queued on LeoInfra instead of making the user having to wait
How the backend works vs frontend
Threads tweaked this, fake thread on the UI example - That's why it's fast AF
What happens when there's Hive engine issues
All of these little tools are not seen by the user but they matter, that's why the UI is taking time
Refresh window case - working out soon
