Hello Frenz 🐝
Snapie’s been busy. Like... very busy...
Short-form Snaps are alive, kicking, and running smoothly (🤞 fingers crossed forever), and while that engine hums along, we started asking a bigger question:
👉 What about long-form content?
Because here’s the thing — as creators, a decent payout is nice… but let’s be honest: it’s not what really makes us happy. What we want is engagement. Reactions. Conversations. That spark that turns a post into a shared moment — maybe even a future friendship with another creator.
That’s exactly why @commentrewarder exists.
Built by @acidyo and @hivetrending (aka The Pizza Man 🍕), @commentrewarder lets bloggers reward readers directly for commenting, using a beneficiary percentage. Simple idea. Powerful effect.
And yet…
For one reason or another, not enough people are using it.
Not because it doesn’t work — but maybe because people don’t know where it’s active. Maybe it’s not visible enough, yet. Maybe it’s just one of those great Hive tools quietly sitting in the corner, waiting to be noticed.
So we asked ourselves:
👉 Why isn’t this potential being tapped more often?
Enter TAPINTU!
A blogmaxing* tool that helps you literally tap into one of Hive’s most underrated engagement boosters. Powered by Comment Rewarder, of course.
The idea is simple
TAPINTU is a data page where Hive users can instantly see:
Which current blog posts have @commentrewarder activated
What beneficiary percentage they’re offering for comment engagement
No guessing. No digging. Just clarity.
By making this information visible and accessible, we hope to shine a brighter light on @commentrewarder — and funnel more engagement toward the bloggers who are already putting in the effort to spark conversation.
Everyone wins:
Bloggers get comments
Commenters get rewards
Hive gets more actual interaction
This little tool hopes to be one of many more to come, tools for blogmaxers, for snapmaxers. For bloggerinos and snapperinos alike.

Glossary
* Blogmaxer is a term to describe users (like @ankapolo) who see Hive primarily as a blogging platform and focus on long-form content. Yes, Hive is a currency. Yes, it has a gazillion dApps. But blogging already works — and works well. Blogmaxing tools are anything that supports authors and readers, helping Hive reach its full potential as a long-form publishing ecosystem.
