3Speak Mobile App Development Update

Hello Hive & 3Speak Community Members,

Here's @sagarkothari88. With this video, I'll give you an update on 3Speak mobile app development, which I am doing.

Integrating GraphQL queries of Union Indexer

• All feeds using GraphQL
  • Trending feed ✅
  • New Feed ✅
  • First Uploads ✅
  • User Channel Feed ✅
  • Community Feed ⏳
• All of these feeds are now displayed using the new Union Indexer

Scroll Scroll Scroll

• All of these feeds support pagination.
• It means that if you scroll to the end of the list, the app will fetch more content for you.
• You Scroll Scroll Scroll
• App loads more for you

Improvement in User Channel Page ⏳

• On the user channel page, you could only see videos posted by the Author.
• I have added one more tab - 3Shorts within User Channel
• This tab - I am yet to work on this.
• It will show all the shorts uploaded by the Author.

Changes on Union Indexer for 3Shorts

• 3Shorts on the union indexer needed some logic improvement
• Videos having a length less than or equal to 90 seconds - should be considered 3Shorts
• But the video has to be portrait.
• If the video is not a portrait, it won't be considered 3Shorts.
• I added a background script to find the size of the video and update it on the union-indexer.
• Once we have the video size info available on video, we can supply 3Shorts on a specific feed.

• As highlighted in the screenshot below, you'll have an action bar for different actions when playing the video.
• Here are the buttons on the Action bar
  • Post content (info button)
  • Comments on Post
  • Add a comment
  • Upvote
  • Share

Recommended videos when playing a video

• I am yet to integrate recommended feed on the video-details screen
• @vaultec just fixed it on union-indexer
• I'll work on it this week.

Addressed Feedback Items

Remove Empty User Feed

• The app shows an Empty tab with a login button if the user is not logged in.
• @starkerz suggested not keeping Empty Tab with just a login button.
• Instead, add a login button somewhere else
• This feedback has been addressed.

Ask to log in on Upvote / Comment

• If the user is not logged in, ask the user to log in upon tapping upvote or comment.
• @starkerz suggested NOT to hide vote & comment buttons.
• Instead of hiding, keep those buttons visible, but ask the user to log in upon interaction.
