What's new

Everything we've shipped, newest first.

Oct 9, 2026 · Short snaps stay in order

Fixed

A short snap that mixes an @mention or #hashtag with a link now keeps the sentence in the order it was written, instead of showing the end of the sentence first.

Oct 8, 2026 · Snapie: Information War joins Games

New

Snapie: Information War is here! A SNES-style run-and-gun platformer — fight through five worlds, swap and upgrade weapons, and take down a boss at the end of each. Play with the keyboard or the on-screen touch buttons on a phone. Save your run to convert your score into Snapie Points.

New

Chat now shows day dividers (Today, Yesterday, then the date) between messages, in channels and DMs, so it is easier to tell when a conversation happened.

Fixed

Fixed repeated failed sign-in checks for guests and wallet users, which could make the site briefly rate-limit you.

Oct 7, 2026 · Snapie Blocks, Snapie Jump and the Butter Factory

New

Snapie Blocks is here! A multiplayer falling-block battle — clear lines, send garbage to your opponent, and be the last board standing. Jump into a public Quick match from Games; win to earn Snapie Points (guests can play, but points are for signed-in wins).

New

Snapie Jump is here! An endless bouncer — Snapie the cyber bee climbs a hive of platforms, grabbing honey, power-ups (super jump, magnet, shield) and stomping wasps. Steer with the arrow keys or drag anywhere on a phone. Save your run to convert your score into Snapie Points.

New

Added the Butter Factory at /factory: a pixel-art factory that replays the last week of the team's pull requests. Every repo is an island, every PR is a worker who fabricates an item, queues for a review stamp and drops it off when it merges. Press play, scrub through the week, or click a worker or island to see what it was. Find it as Factory in the sidebar, or Butter Factory in the mobile menu.

Oct 6, 2026 · Snapie Rush joins Games

New

Snapie Rush is here! A top-down arcade racer — steer the Snapie hover-bike through five routes, dodge trucks, swerving cars, oil slicks and drones, and grab fuel cells before the tank runs dry. Near misses and higher speed earn bonus score. Save your run to convert your score into Snapie Points.

New

Added a Feedback option — in the sidebar on desktop, as Send feedback in the mobile menu, and as a card in Settings. Tell the team about a bug or an idea without leaving Snapie. Guests can send feedback too, and it goes straight to the team's issue tracker.

Improved

The first page of the home feed is now prepared on the server, so posts appear straight away instead of after a loading screen, and the home page downloads less JavaScript before it can show anything.

Improved

Big animated GIFs, videos and oversized images near the top of the home feed no longer get loading priority, so a multi-megabyte GIF can't hold up the first photo you see.

Sep 14, 2026

Fixed

Fixed Snapie Quest and Snapie Blast's end-of-run screen sometimes hiding the Save Score button on phones — a short/narrow screen could squeeze the game frame down until the button fell outside its fixed-size box and couldn't be reached at all. It now scrolls into view instead.

New

Added a fullscreen option to Snapie Quest and Snapie Blast, with a best-effort landscape lock on phones that support it.

Fixed

Fixed the new fullscreen mode cutting off the bottom of the game on landscape phones — the game canvas now scales to fit the actual screen height instead of assuming there's always enough room.

Fixed

Fixed Snapie Blast shots landing to the left of where you actually tapped in fullscreen mode — the letterboxed game screen wasn't accounting for its own blank margins when translating taps into game coordinates.

Sep 13, 2026 · Snapie Blast joins Games

New

Snapie Blast is here! An 8-bit shooting gallery — aliens swarm the screen, you click or tap to blast them before your 60 seconds (or 3 lives) run out. Speed and points ramp up the longer you survive. Save your run to convert your score into Snapie Points.

Sep 11, 2026 · Games & Snapie Quest

New

Snapie Quest is now live! A retro pixel-art platformer built right into Snapie — play through multiple stages, inhale enemies to steal their powers (Spit Star, Jet Hover, Fire Breath, Spike Dash), and rack up a high score. Every run you save converts your score into Snapie Points (10% conversion: 10,000 points = 10 Snapie Points). New Games section in the sidebar.

Fixed

Fixed score save endpoint — handler signature was destructuring route params incorrectly, and added error handling to auth wrapper so database errors surface with clear messages instead of generic 500s.

Sep 4, 2026

Fixed

Fixed the blog composer's cursor drifting away from your typing. Once a post grew past the height of the editor box, the scrollbar took a slice of width off the text area and the highlighted layer underneath kept the old width, so the two wrapped lines in different places — the letters still landed correctly, but the caret sat several characters away from them. Both layers now always measure the same width, and a confirmed @mention is coloured without being bolded (the heavier text was nudging everything after it out of line).

Sep 3, 2026

Fixed

Fixed Snapie Auth accounts that had retrieved their own keys getting asked to connect a wallet just to open Chat, even though posting authority is still shared with Snapie — sign-in now goes through the same trusted path everything else (posting, voting) already uses.

Sep 2, 2026

Fixed

Fixed the "connect your wallet" prompt always saying "Active key required" no matter what actually needed signing — it now correctly names the key an action needs (posting or active), so claiming rewards, voting, or commenting no longer looks like it needs the same thing a transfer or power-up does.

Fixed

Fixed that same wallet prompt popping up from things you never asked for — a background admin check, quietly awarding Snapie Points, or loading your badges/inventory could all interrupt you with it. It now only shows up when something you actually did (opening Chat, buying an item, claiming a Pile purchase, etc.) genuinely needs your wallet.

Aug 30, 2026

New

Tapping the vote count next to the heart (not the heart itself) on a post, Snap, or Short now opens a list of everyone who voted — sorted by value, with each voter's reputation, vote percentage, and dollar contribution.

Aug 29, 2026

Fixed

Fixed a post's comment section sometimes not scrolling far enough on mobile to reach the last comment's reply button — most noticeable when a post had just one comment, since that put the reply button right at the point the bottom nav bar was quietly covering it, with no way to scroll further to reveal it.

Improved

A pasted SoundCloud, Spotify, or other embed can no longer auto-play — even if the embed code you copied had autoplay turned on, Snapie now strips that out so playback always waits for a visitor to press play themselves.

Fixed

Fixed the Snaps feed silently stopping mid-scroll after a tab had been open a long time (backgrounded, laptop sleep, a flaky connection) — a stalled request could get stuck forever instead of failing, quietly locking up further loading with nothing to retry it. It now gives up on a stuck request after a while so scrolling can pick back up.

Improved

The Snaps feed, a post's comments, and a profile's Snaps tab no longer keep every scrolled-past item sitting in memory forever — only what's actually near your screen stays loaded, which keeps long scrolling sessions fast instead of gradually bogging down. Also fixed a post's own comments not loading more on scroll in some cases.

Fixed

Fixed the payout next to a vote sometimes staying stuck at $0.00 even though the heart showed as voted — the two were computed independently, and if it happened to vote before some pricing data had finished loading in the background, the payout estimate silently gave up instead of waiting for it.

Improved

Votes and payouts on the Snaps feed and your profile's Snaps tab now catch up to reality: casting a vote quietly re-syncs that Snap with the chain a few seconds later (picking up anyone else's votes too), clicking Home while already home pulls fresh data instead of just resetting the view, and a new "back to top" button appears once you've scrolled a while — tap it to jump up and refresh at the same time.

Fixed

Fixed a Snap sometimes showing votes but a $0.00 payout even when you never voted on it yourself — a Snap now quietly re-syncs with the chain the moment it scrolls into view, not just when you interact with it, so payouts stay accurate as you scroll.

Fixed

Fixed the Snaps feed getting stuck a few Snaps in on mobile — scrolling would stall or visibly reload instead of continuing. The just-shipped "re-sync as it scrolls into view" fix above was firing while your finger was still on the screen, fighting the scroll itself. It now waits until scrolling actually stops before re-syncing.

Aug 23, 2026

Fixed

Fixed muting or blacklisting someone not actually taking effect until you reloaded — sometimes for up to a day. The muted-accounts list wasn't being refreshed right after the mute went through, so their posts kept showing up everywhere in the meantime.

Fixed

Shorts and Notifications now respect your mutes too — a muted or community-muted account's videos no longer show up in Shorts, and their replies/votes no longer show up in your notifications. Muting from a Short now also removes their other videos from your feed immediately.

Fixed

Fixed no way to get back to the rest of the app from Shorts on mobile — added a back button, since Shorts hides the usual header and bottom nav to stay full-screen.

Fixed

Fixed Muted Tags not being respected on Trending, For You, and the Right Sidebar's Long Reads — a post carrying a hashtag you'd muted could still show up on those, even though it was already working correctly everywhere else.

Fixed

Fixed the Snap composer's cursor visually landing in the wrong spot once your post grew past a few lines — new keystrokes still went to the right place under the hood, but the highlighted text on screen quietly stopped scrolling with them, making it look like the cursor had jumped.

Improved

An image that fails to load in a post (dead link, or a browser/ad-blocker refusing to fetch it) now shows "Image failed to load" with a link to open it directly, instead of just silently disappearing with no explanation.

New

Profiles now show account badges — the same PeakD-style badges (Bumble Bee, Trusted Delegate, community and verification badges, etc.) you may already hold on Hive, with a tooltip explaining each one and a link to learn more.

Fixed

Fixed the Posts and Reblogs tabs on a profile page cutting off after the first page or so — scrolling for more just spun forever instead of loading further back in someone's history.

Aug 22, 2026 · Points Roulette

New

New Points Roulette — burn Snapie Points for a shot at 2x, 3x, or a rare 5x jackpot. The odds are shown up front, and most spins lose everything — that's the game. Find it in Settings → Snapie Points.

New

New Points History — see your last 10 Snapie Points transactions (earned, bought, won, or lost) from a new History button in your Wallet's Snapie Points card.

Aug 19, 2026

Fixed

Fixed the "pending rewards" banner sometimes staying up after you'd already claimed — if you claimed from another device or app, the banner's own reward check was stuck waiting on its next 5-minute refresh instead of noticing the moment you visited your wallet.

Improved

The Prediction Markets sidebar widget now picks a random 4 markets from the whole active pool on each visit instead of always showing the same fixed set.

Aug 17, 2026

Improved

The Leaderboard now shows just the top 100 instead of loading everyone as you scroll. If you're outside the top 100, a pinned row at the bottom shows your real rank and points.

Aug 12, 2026

Fixed

Fixed the blog composer's cursor jumping to the wrong spot (or eating what you just typed) right after clicking a toolbar button like Bold/Italic, or accepting an @mention suggestion — the cursor was being put back a beat too late, so typing right after either action could race it.

Fixed

Fixed Snapie Auth users' blog posts never actually setting aside the 3% Snapie beneficiary reward share — the built-in wallet's posting-key broadcast path was silently dropping that part of the transaction.

Aug 10, 2026

Fixed

Fixed the Notifications page's "This Month" activity summary showing the same counts as "This Week" — switching to a wider range now actually fetches enough notification history to cover it, instead of just re-filtering whatever was already loaded.

Aug 7, 2026

Fixed

Fixed opening a Snap's comments sometimes spinning forever ("Loading snaps...") and hammering the network with repeated requests — a recent Muted Tags change was quietly rebuilding the comment-fetch function on every unrelated settings refresh across the page, instead of only when your muted tags actually changed.

Fixed

Fixed a wallet's Transaction History showing empty for lower-activity accounts — paging back through an account's history could ask the blockchain node for more transactions than were left before the account's very first one, which it rejects outright, silently wiping out everything already found.

Aug 6, 2026

Improved

The vote slider now remembers the weight you last voted with — on Snap cards, post/comment pages, and Shorts — instead of always resetting to the same default. Vote 20% once, and it starts at 20% next time too.

Aug 5, 2026

Fixed

Fixed video uploads silently stalling on mobile when using Snapie Auth — a race where the upload could start just before your session finished loading now fails fast with a clear message instead of stalling forever with nothing to show for it.

Fixed

Fixed video uploads that appeared to finish but never actually played — we were treating "bytes finished sending" as "video ready," when 3Speak still needed to process it afterward. Now we wait for confirmation it's actually playable before calling it done, and show a clear message if processing is taking unusually long.

Fixed

Fixed larger video uploads failing on Android — picking a video from your gallery only makes a limited portion of it reliably readable, enough for short clips but not longer ones. We now scrub through the entire video first to make sure all of it is accessible before reading it into memory and uploading.

Fixed

Fixed the root cause of Android video upload failures — the video picker now requests a proper, persistent permission to read the file instead of the temporary one Android was only partly honoring for larger files. Falls back to the previous behavior on browsers that don't support the newer picker.

Fixed

Fixed the snap composer's video button doing nothing on some devices after the picker change above — it's now a direct button instead of routing the click through an extra layer that could interfere with opening the file picker.

Aug 4, 2026

Fixed

Fixed 3Speak videos sometimes embedding with the wrong link, or duplicating across the page — a labeled link (like "Watch on 3speak.tv") was being force-converted into a video player instead of staying a plain link.

Fixed

Fixed livestream comments with a timestamp (3Speak's "said at 00:42 during the live stream" replies) rendering as broken, duplicated video players instead of plain text with a clickable timestamp link.

Fixed

Fixed the blog composer eating keystrokes — typing (including the space bar) silently did nothing after a recent change.

Improved

The snap composer's meme button now reads "MEME" instead of a smiley icon, so it's no longer mistaken for an emoji picker — and there's now an actual emoji picker right next to it.

New

New "Muted Tags" section in Settings — hide any blog post, snap, or comment tagged with a hashtag you never want to see, like #scrobblelife.

Aug 3, 2026

New

Typing @ in the blog or snap composer now suggests real Hive usernames as you type, and colors a finished mention blue once it's confirmed to be a real account.

Jul 30, 2026

New

Your home feed now shows a banner when you have pending rewards to claim — with the exact amount, and a direct link to your wallet. Dismissible, and it only comes back once there's something new to claim.

Improved

Pending Rewards now sits right at the top of your wallet, above your account balance — since that's usually why you opened it.

New

Added quick "what is this?" explanations in your wallet for the more confusing stuff — Liquid HIVE, HBD, Convert, Swap, and Delegate.

Fixed

Fixed chat read receipts (and typing indicators) getting permanently stuck for conversations with usernames containing a dot.

Improved

A shared Re-Snap is now clickable — tap it to open the original snap it's quoting.

Jul 29, 2026

Improved

Chat unread badges are smarter now — public channels only notify you when someone mentions you or replies to you, not on every single message.

Fixed

Fixed chat sometimes showing an unread badge when there was nothing new to actually read.

Jul 28, 2026

Improved

Replying to a Snap no longer reloads your whole feed — your reply shows up instantly and you stay right where you were scrolled to.

Improved

Wallet actions (Send, Power Up, Swap, Savings, and more) now show your available balance and a MAX button, so you don't have to close the window to go check.

New

Requesting a payment via QR code now notifies you the instant it's paid — no more manually refreshing your wallet to check.

Jul 27, 2026

New

Equipped Mood Badges now show up next to your avatar practically everywhere on Snapie — not just the home feed, profile, and wallet.

Jul 26, 2026

New

6 new Mood Badges: Excited, Sleepy, Salty, Grouchy, Caffeinated, and Amused — 8 total to collect now.

Improved

Bigger avatars in the home feed.

Improved

You'll now get notified right away if you receive bonus Snapie Points.

Jul 25, 2026 · Mood Badges

New

New Mood Badges — spend Snapie Points on a bull or bear badge that shows next to your avatar everywhere on Snapie. Buy and switch anytime from Settings.

Jul 24, 2026

Fixed

Fixed Snapie Points not being awarded for votes on Snaps and Shorts — voting on a blog post always worked, but the app's two most common feeds were silently missing it.

Fixed

The "what are you into?" interest prompt no longer reappears every time you switch devices or browsers — and now only shows to brand-new accounts, not longtime Hive users just discovering Snapie. Still editable anytime from Settings.

Jul 23, 2026

Fixed

Fixed Shorts showing an empty feed — the video service it was pulling from had moved to a new address.

New

New "vote the daily Snaps post" nudge in the sidebar — a bigger payout on that post means bigger reward payouts for everyone’s replies, on every Hive frontend.

New

You can now buy Snapie Points with HBD from Settings — handy if you'd rather support Snapie directly than grind for points.

Improved

Your Wallet now shows a Snapie Points card, with both your spendable balance and your all-time (leaderboard) total in one place.

Jul 22, 2026

New

New Governance section in Settings — vote for Hive witnesses and Decentralized Hive Fund proposals right from Snapie, with avatars and a clear flag for witnesses that have gone inactive.

Improved

Proposal voting now shows each proposal’s voting power and funding status, clearly marks the funding cutoff, and opens proposal posts right inside Snapie instead of sending you to hive.blog.

Fixed

Witness and proposal voting now work for everyone, including accounts using Snapie’s built-in login — no external wallet required.

Jul 20, 2026

New

New "Prediction Markets" widget on desktop — see trending HivePredict markets right from the sidebar.

Fixed

Muted accounts no longer throw off the comment count on posts — the number now matches what you actually see.

Jul 19, 2026

Fixed

Fixed profile avatars looking stretched in the sidebar.

Fixed

Fixed the Hive Keychain approval popup showing up more than it should when voting or commenting.

Jul 15, 2026 · Introducing Snapie Points

New

Earn Snapie Points just by using the app — snap, blog, comment, vote, and reblog to build up your score.

New

New Leaderboard! See who’s earned the most, and check your own spot right from your profile.

Fixed

Fixed a small hiccup where the reblog button didn’t always show it was already clicked.

Jul 14, 2026 · Reblogs and a cleaner feed

New

You can now reblog blog posts, and everything you’ve reblogged shows up on the new Reblogs tab of your profile.

Improved

“Latest” is now the default feed tab, so you always land on the freshest posts.

Fixed

You can clear all your interests to reset “For You” back to trending content.
