About Hive
Hive keeps stacking dashboard and reporting widgets while pushing core work to mobile.
Hive's recent shipping cadence is dominated by dashboard and reporting depth: a Gantt widget, pivot-table conditional formatting, a unified series manager, 100% stacked bars, and project-scoped Goals filters. Alongside the BI work, it extended core surfaces to mobile with Hive Mail and audio messages, and tightened time-tracking hygiene. These are steady, user-visible improvements rather than direction changes.
