Hey everyone,
I'm excited to announce a new, experimental branch of `hive-nectar` that is now available for testing. This is a big step toward a long-term goal I've had for the project.
---
### Creating a Hive-Only Library
My goal has always been to make `hive-nectar` a library focused exclusively on the Hive blockchain. Over the years, the APIs of different Graphene chains have drifted apart significantly, and trying to maintain compatibility with Steem, Blurt, and others has become a major headache. It's much simpler to focus on the chain I actually use every day.
To that end, I've created the `hive-only` branch. I've been busy trimming out all references to other chains to create a cleaner, more focused, and easier-to-maintain codebase.

### A Word of Warning ⚠️
This branch is **heavily under development** and should be considered a beta release (tentatively version `0.1.0b`). There will likely be bugs and breaking changes.
However, if you're brave enough to try it out, I would greatly appreciate more testers poking at it and providing feedback.

### How to Install
You can install this experimental branch directly from GitHub using `uv` or `pip`.
#### With `uv`
```bash
uv pip install -U "hive-nectar @ git+https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar.git@hive-only"
```
#### With `pip`
```bash
pip install -U git+https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar.git@hive-only
```
Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a try.
As always,
Michael Garcia a.k.a. TheCrazyGM
