Low Effort great Impact Expansion of Hive User Base
2 comments
I would like to point out an easy way Hive Front End developers (especially with WebGUI) can reach out to over 150 000 000 potential users.
Before I would like to explain that one barrier to using Hive is internet access. Smartphones and computers are for many too expensive. With the development of KaiOS though internet has become accessible to people with a 20-30$ budget. This is why KaiOS, which is able to run on keypad phones without touchscreen, has spread like wildfire in India, Pakistan and some countries in Africa increasing the amount of people with internet access. For the same target group making an income from creative work #proofofbrain may be a great incentive. Keypadphones with KaiOS are not limited in writing speed as google assistant (long press on big button) can help type text from speech.
a jiophone in India would cost 22€
List of all KaiOS phones and their marketing geographic target can be found here
The phone above I bought for 22€ on ebay.
The reason why many existing apps with web GUI, such as @blocktrades @peakd #splinterlands #hivekeychain (@yabapmatt ) #hiveio (@therealwolf ), can easily expand to KaiOS is because KaiOS phones are very bare in processing power and hence run their apps like a website. If the website looks good on a 2 inch screen, the URL of your webapp can already be submitted to the KaiOS appstore.
I would like to ask the web GUI developers on hive if they have considered expanding to KaiOS or what barriers they see in it?
