Ever Teams vs Hive: at a glance
What is Ever Teams?
Ten tagged releases in a fortnight, and not one of them changed the product.
Ever Teams is an open-source work and time tracking platform, but its recent release stream contains no product changes at all. Every tag in this window is continuous-integration plumbing — migrating runners off dead ubicloud labels onto self-hosted ARC, gating a legacy DigitalOcean deploy behind a flag, routing dev and stage builds through an internal Verdaccio registry, and bumping actions to Node 24. Several tags carry no notes beyond a link to the full changelog.
What is Hive?
Hive is quietly rebuilding proofing into a product that can hold external reviewers.
Hive ships in dense batches — seven changelog items landed on 31 July alone — and the largest share of them concern proofing. The current run covers AI proofing reliability for images and reviews, a reference-document picker before an AI review starts, an image-optimized viewing path for very large files, annotation stroke widths, and version privacy that keeps minor working versions hidden from published-only reviewers. Around that, Resourcing gained a 13-week estimates grid and project-name grouping, and Gantt rows now show configured project dates.
Ever Teams vs Hive: editorial side-by-side
Ten tagged releases in a fortnight, and not one of them changed the product.
◆ Current state
Ever Teams is an open-source work and time tracking platform, but its recent release stream contains no product changes at all. Every tag in this window is continuous-integration plumbing — migrating runners off dead ubicloud labels onto self-hosted ARC, gating a legacy DigitalOcean deploy behind a flag, routing dev and stage builds through an internal Verdaccio registry, and bumping actions to Node 24. Several tags carry no notes beyond a link to the full changelog.
◆ Where it's heading
What these entries actually document is a build-infrastructure migration: the team is moving CI off hosted runners onto self-hosted ARC and fixing every step that assumed the old environment. Because the release pipeline tags on every merge to main, a single infrastructure fix produces four or five version numbers, which makes the cadence look far higher than the change rate. Application work is happening elsewhere and is not surfacing in these notes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the CI migration tags to keep landing until the ARC runners are stable, after which product changes should reappear in the notes. Nothing in this window indicates what those changes will be.
Hive

Hive is quietly rebuilding proofing into a product that can hold external reviewers.
◆ Current state
Hive ships in dense batches — seven changelog items landed on 31 July alone — and the largest share of them concern proofing. The current run covers AI proofing reliability for images and reviews, a reference-document picker before an AI review starts, an image-optimized viewing path for very large files, annotation stroke widths, and version privacy that keeps minor working versions hidden from published-only reviewers. Around that, Resourcing gained a 13-week estimates grid and project-name grouping, and Gantt rows now show configured project dates.
◆ Where it's heading
The proofing work is converging on external collaboration, which is a different market than internal project management. Hiding working versions from published-only reviewers, controlling which reference documents feed an AI review, and handling high-resolution source files without downsampling are all requirements that appear when clients and outside approvers are in the workflow, not just staff. Resourcing is following the same logic in the planning direction, separating unconfirmed estimates from committed assignments so a plan can exist before anyone is booked.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI proofing to keep widening its input formats and tightening its review lifecycle, since most of the recent items are reliability and control rather than new capability. The 13-week estimates grid is described as enabled per view, which suggests a staged rollout toward becoming the default resourcing entry point.
