We have focused on building a stronger, more flexible foundation that allows us to ship new features much faster in the future.
This update paves the way for the improvements and tools you have requested by removing technical hurdles and updating our architecture.
No changes for contributors on hives.co
For users submitting ideas, the experience is unchanged. They can contribute exactly as before. The difference is "under the hood," where the platform is now faster, more stable, and ready to scale.
Admins and Managers will see UI improvements
We have decluttered the interface to make your work more efficient:
Separated Views (Managers)
A clearer distinction between Manager and Participant views for better control.
Logical Workflows (Admins)
Easier building, visualization, and management of processes and collections.
Enhanced Login Security
For users without SSO, magic links have been replaced by One-Time Passcodes (OTP)—a more secure and reliable method.
What does this mean for the future?
The main win is capability. With a modern foundation in place, we are shifting focus to releasing new features at a higher pace—tools that make life easier for both administrators and contributors.
In summary: A smoother experience for admins and business as usual for participants—all on a platform ready for the future.
We look forward to continuing to build Hives with you.
