Development Updates - Hive Core Projects

This is another update on the work done over the last month by myself and several part-time resources that I have onboarded to learn about Hive and its technologies, and is separate from the work we do in developing & growing Actifit, for which we have a separate team.

During this iteration, and in addition to our work on Block Explorer UI and Balance Tracker, we further expanded our involvement to include denser, the condenser successor.

For those unaware, HAF Hive block explorer - HAFBE (code - gitlab link) is an open-source block explorer developed by @blocktrades team of which we currently run a live instance at hivescan.info.

Denser is an open-source replacement for condenser, i.e. the code base behind hive.blog. You can find the codebase here. We have recently setup a dev environment for both wallet and blog components running at 78.46.16.241:3000 and 78.46.16.241:4000

As usual, our work was focused on improving the user experience by suggesting and/or implementing functionality that we deem useful visually, reporting issues and improvements related to mobile view, dark mode, branding as well as witness details such as block production schedule. In denser, we worked on improving the setup process, and expect to append new language support in denser

Below is a breakdown of reported issues, enhancements, MRs, and issues under work.
