I've been on this social blockchain for a couple of years now, but still I learn new things every now and then. By checking out blogs and microblogs via PeakD Snaps I find new interesting Hive-related websites that are very useful.
In this post I would like to share these websites with you all, so we can all profit from that.
The list of websites is probably far from complete, so please add other websites in the comments if you're missing one!
Disclaimer!
I describe the websites in my own way. It might be that I describe them in other ways then they are intended or that I am missing information about their services.
If possible I'll add the owner/creator of the service so they can give additional information if they want.
Hivestats
Hivestats gives you a great insight in your Hive Statistics or those of other Hiveans.
It gives you insight in many things regarding your account for instance:
- Received Rewards
- Curation APR
- Account Growth
- Pending Author & Curation rewards
- Account stats like Full & Current Vote Value
I check it every now and then to check my progress.
I don't know who built it, so I can't give the credits.
PeakD analytics & Insights
https://peakd.com/me/analytics
https://peakd.com/me/insights
We all know @peakd as the popular Hive Front-end, but hidden inside the interface (at least, I think they are a bit hidden) are some tools that are very useful. That's why I mention them separately.
Analytics gives you a nice graphical overview of some of your Hive stats like Account growth, Curation- and Author rewards, Vote distribution (both in and out) and more.
It's a good tool to check on your progress.
Insights gives you an insight (😂) of all your posts and shows you the Page Views, Unique Views and Average Time time people spent reading your posts. This information can give you a good view on which of your posts are popular. These stats can be shown by day, week or month.
HiveBuzz
https://hivebuzz.me/
https://hivebuzz.me/ranking
HiveBuzz is a kind of gamification for the Hive Blockchain created and maintained by @arcange. On HiveBuzz you can earn badges for certain achievements on the Hive Blockchain. On their website you can see which badges you have earned.
One of the best features of Hivebuzz is the ranking (at least, that's my opinion). The ranking is a list of all users with all stats like Hive Power, Reputation level, Number of comments, Upvotes and many more. You can sort the ranking on any of these columns. This way you can find out where you are on the list and how you are doing compared to others.
I often use it to track my progress and set myself goals.
Hive-engine
https://hive-engine.com/
Hive Engine is (as stated on their website) a smart contracts side-chain platform for the Hive blockchain.
But I mainly use Hive-engine to manage my 2nd layer tokens. Hive-engine gives you the possibility to (un)stake, (un)delegate and trade tokens on the Hive Blockchain.
It gives you a good insight in the tokens you have and their value.
Hive FAQ
A very useful list of frequently asked questions. It can be very useful to redirect new users to this quide on the Hive.blog front-end (since a lot of them create an account via other front-ends).
Hive.vote
Hive.vote is a platform with which you can automate your votes. This is a free service offered by @mahdiyari
It can be configured to automatically cast votes to certain users when your voting mana is above a certain level (so it isn't left unused at 100%). You can also follow trails or automatically claim rewards.
I've recently created a blogpost in which I explain how I use it.

Hivesearcher
The name already says it all I think. Hivesearcher is a website to find content on the Hive blockchain. Results can be sorted on Popularity, Relevance or Newest posts.
Not much more to say about this very useful tool.
Hivetasks
https://hivetasks.com/
https://hivetasks.com/@friendlymoose
Hivetasks is a collection of useful Hive tools by @fernandosoder. It's like a Swiss army knife on Hive.
What I really like is the dashboard. That gives you a great insight in some interesting statistics for instance about followers, mentions, delegations and more.
Hive Engagement
https://eroche.shinyapps.io/HiveEngagement/
With this tool you can check all interactions between to Hive users. This can be very useful when you know you had a discussion with a certain user on Hive, but don't remember the blogpost that triggered the discussion.
HiveWatchers
https://hivewatchers.com/
https://discord.gg/KszjZ3B
https://hivewatchers.com/reports/new
https://hivewatchers.com/verifications
HiveWatchers is a project on the Hive blockchain that looks for abusive posts, such as plagiarism, spam and fraud. They also take action against abuse by downvoting abusive posts and users, so they won't receive rewards on their posts.
They have a possibility to appeal in their Discord channel and by proving you have improved your behavior you can get removed from their blacklist.
You can report abusive posts via the report link above. @hivewatchers will then investigate the post and take action when needed.
Other useful websites?
I've done my best to create a complete list, but I probably missed a couple of other useful websites.
Feel free to mention them in the comments, so I can add them in my post afterwards!
