Call for Testers: `hive-nectar` 0.0.8b Released (Now with More Types!)
Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce that `hive-nectar` version **0.0.8b** (beta) is now available for testing directly from the GitHub repository!

This update is pretty focused, with the only file that was actually touched being the `nectar.community` module. I've gone through and fixed up the API calls within that module to ensure they are working as expected.

![Hive.Pizza Community Roles](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thecrazygm/23t78uLrcKja2ayF595zBuRzCE9dkHjzdMDPHEnhF3dCCqskqbkoCE9QQzygsCMedz41o.png)

## A Step Towards Modern Python: Introducing Type Hints!

More significantly, I'm proud to officially say that with this release, I have begun the process of adding **type hints** to the `hive-nectar` library! For now, these initial type hints are primarily within the `nectar.community` module, but this marks the start of a larger effort.

My intention is to eventually add type hints to the _entire_ project. I know this will be a gradual process, but it's a step I believe is important for improving code clarity, maintainability, and making it easier for other developers to understand and use the library with confidence (and with better support from linters and IDEs).

## Call for Testers!

Since the main changes are within the community functionalities, I'd love it if anyone who uses those features (or is just curious) could test out this beta version.

You can install it directly from the `main` branch on GitHub to get the latest:
[**https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar**](https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar)

(You might typically use a pip command like `pip install git+https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar.git@main` or with `uv add "hive-nectar @git+https://github.com/thecrazygm/hive-nectar"` to install or upgrade to this specific branch).

Once I know it's not causing any major problems and the community features are working smoothly for those who test it, I'll push the official 0.0.8 release to PyPI.

## Want to Play Around?

If you're looking for a quick way to play with some of the community calls or see how I was doing some basic testing, I've put the script I was using into a Gist:
[**https://gist.github.com/TheCrazyGM/b836da97cbe5a785c149b005241ac896**](https://gist.github.com/TheCrazyGM/b836da97cbe5a785c149b005241ac896)

Your feedback during this beta phase would be invaluable. Please report any issues you encounter or any unexpected behavior with the community functions on the GitHub repository.

Thanks for helping make `hive-nectar` better!

As always,
Michael Garcia a.k.a. TheCrazyGM

I've really got to get into coding, especially with Python, since it's  not exactly difficult. Excellent work, my friend! @borniet, take a look! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
