Hello Hive community members! ๐
Hope you all are doing absolutely amazing!
In this update, I want to share whatโs cooking behind the scenes ๐ฅ โ from open-source contributions to running video encoder nodes and exciting app progress updates. So grab a cup of coffee โ and letโs dive in!
I recently started a new GitHub organization called TechCoderLabz ๐
๐ GitHub Link: https://github.com/TechCoderLabz
This was inspired by none other than (my special friend on Hive and also a witness โ donโt forget you can vote for him ๐).
Earlier, I was pushing code under my individual account, but now everything is structured under an organization. Why? Because:
This initiative is heavily inspired by amazing contributors like:
They continuously contribute and publish their work as open source for Hive. Truly inspiring stuff! ๐
Now, everything I build for Hive is publicly available. Anyone can review, contribute, fork, improve โ thatโs the power of decentralization! ๐ช
And yesโฆ more contributors like ,
, or anyone interested can join this org in the future. Letโs build together! ๐
TechCoderLabz is not just a repository collection โ itโs a long-term commitment to structured, transparent and scalable Hive development. Step by step, we are building a strong foundation for future tools, apps, and infrastructure services that the Hive ecosystem can rely on. ๐งฑโจ
Now letโs talk infrastructure ๐
As you know, 3Speak requires video encoder nodes. Unlike YouTube (which is centralized), 3Speak runs on a decentralized model where community members power the infrastructure.
Why are encoder nodes important?
When you upload to YouTube:
On 3Speak, we replicate this โ but in a decentralized way ๐
And Iโm proud to sayโฆ
๐ Iโm running 6 systems dedicated to encoder nodes!
Hereโs the setup:
Thatโs right โ multiple machines working together to strengthen Hive decentralization!
Big shoutout to for continuously pushing updates and improving decentralization of encoder nodes ๐
Also appreciation to ,
and all other node operators who keep this ecosystem alive.
My job?
This is hardware contribution + time + electricity + effort โ all for Hive ๐
And trust meโฆ sometimes machines behave like toddlers ๐ but we keep pushing forward!
Good news first:
โ
The application is approved!
โ
Ready to go live!
Howeverโฆ
After speaking with Apple support and making the required payment, they informed me:
Since itโs already Friday here in Bharat ๐ฎ๐ณ, it will most likely go live next week.
A little bummerโฆ but fingers crossed ๐ค
Still, approval itself is a big milestone! Getting through review is never a small thing. So we celebrate small wins too ๐
Now the exciting part!
We spoke with , and he tested the HiveFestLeaks web application.
๐ Live App Link: https://hivefest-leaks.distriator.com/
First attempt?
โ Not working properly.
Why?
I accidentally missed some environment variables during deployment ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Classic developer moment ๐
Quick fix:
Second attempt?
โ
Working perfectly!
suggested adding a list of HiveFest attendees inside the application โ and I loved the idea! So that feature is coming soon.
HiveFestLeaks is designed to bring more engagement, transparency, and fun around HiveFest activities. And yesโฆ
This project will also be open source ๐
No funding. No grants. Just pure passion.
Everything Iโm doing right now is:
Itโs purely passion-driven.
Running encoder nodes, deploying web apps, building mobile apps, maintaining infrastructure โ all of it requires real effort and resources. But when you believe in decentralization, you donโt measure only in dollars โ you measure in impact ๐
Maybe one day, with enough support and votes, we can sustain development financially. But for now?
Itโs love for Hive. ๐
If you appreciate the work:
Every bit of motivation counts!
Thank you so much for reading and supporting.
More updates coming soon! ๐
Letโs keep building.
Letโs keep decentralizing.
Letโs keep strengthening Hive. ๐ช๐
See you in the next update!
Until next timeโBYEEE ๐๐
