Is this worth Money? #2 : More free HiveTools for you!

Today we continue along with my series "Is this worth Money", where me and my team (@thecrazygm) build free tools for HIVE because nobody wants to pay cuz we are all here to get paid.

(why me?) Of course, I am the one deep in philosophical thought about "work", and the sociological struggle of defining the "value of work" in the modern age and gig economy. I wrote the winning entry to my own project lifecycle contest!;

because I have "so many projects"!

Someone wisely asked me in a meeting - do you have time to manage another project? And the answer is, there is a wide difference between building a delegation webapp and building a wiki framework for HIVE. And its the same idea when playing with token technology.

Managing my own dCity or Splinterlands account is more work than at least 3 of my subtoken projects, put together. If you want a clue - thinking about how to manage my dCity takes even longer than playing.

Probably similar too is that a non-savvy individual may not be able to recognize or articulate these differences: Some things are easy, and somethings are hard, and only a skilled practitioner or a master knows which is which.

Enough pontificating!

Let's dive into my sack of gifts:

Sepia dreams!

First let's revisit the delegation tool, where we can remember from last time the cheeky @friendlymoose looking a gift horse right in the mouth and practically demanding verbose urls in that passive-aggressive discord speak we all use.

Well Mr. Moose is feeling friendly today because our urls are practically human readable sentences! Look at this "beaut":

To his credit I told him it was coming and he made my post shine blue 😍

That wasn't too hard was it?

Next on the list:

Authorities

Along with my secret team of testers, I was shocked at how "dirty" old accounts can be from back in the hivesigner heydey.

Yes you can do this in peakd, but you have to be signed in. Yes you can "see" the info on hiveblocks, but you cannot do anything about it.

So we have brought to you HIVE's only standalone authority webapp. This was missing from the ecosystem, I wonder how many people noticed?

...and what's that, after easily viewing 10 different alts and making changes on all of them in mere seconds, spy on your friends and frenemies?

Two keys @dan, what's that about?

Post EDIT History

A brilliant standalone app for seeing post edit patches, which is not available in this way in other edit history viewers that I know of. Other similar tools to this one might have improved since then, but the fact is we already had it made and just ported it over to the HiveTools and spiffed it up (quite a bit).

In fact, a treat for those of you reading every word, like @roleerob, a "secret history" Part Zero to this series exists, building a quick tool to help my mother.

As my first experience of "build a webapp in a few hours to help someone", I started out quite eager, and @thecrazygm too after both struggling with the visualizations available.

And happy me, to have helped my mother find out some information that wasn't particularily interesting to me, when suddenly I am barraged by reports that "this is already possible".

Which, you know, took me a few months to process.

While you are all processing this, I want to take the time here to say:

HiveTools will always work without Login for HIVE users

You do not need to make an account or login to use these tools. If you decide to do so anyway, please don't tell me about it because none of those things are what I am talking about here today. You can use these tools in any browser, ever and forever.

On to dessert!

Today I am announcing the Version 1.0 of my new development model, called "My Radar". The ideas on my radar I will consider building for "free". You can see my radar below, right now it looks like this:

---

My Radar

1. Solution to: "I want to vote on accounts that hold my token"
2. Solution to: "I want to send tokens to accounts that hold my token"
3. Standalone Memo DeEncrypter Tool

---

So that is my Radar. If you want to get your idea on my radar*, pay attention:

1. Get 100 ARCHON tokens
2. Send them to @ecoinstats
3. Use a fun memo
4. Screenshot or copy the link to TX
5. Leave a comment on the latest "Is this worth Money?" series of posts by @ecoinstant including:
   A. Screenshot or txlink of payment
   B. Your idea as simply and elegantly explained as you know how. (use the current radar as a guide)

*Getting on my radar in no way obligates or commits me to building your idea for free. This is my price for consideration.

Pay me to think about building your idea for free?

Yes, you got it. It really is that simple and I hope we can have a good time of it, and maybe even "get some shit done" to staunch the decay of community tools and development.

I will continue to be myself in the most entertaining and enriching ways I know how. I hope together we can come ever closer to answering the question:

Is this worth money?
