Hive Dev Proposal #2

In mid-2024, we embarked on an exciting journey to contribute to the development of key Hive-focused tools and projects within the HAF ecosystem, working closely with @blocktrades' core development team. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who supported our previous proposal — your backing has been vital to our continued progress.  Over the past year, our work has spanned multiple Hive projects, including: - [Hive Block Explorer (UI)](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/block_explorer_ui): A modern, user-friendly block explorer interface. We maintain a live instance at [hivescan.info](https://hivescan.info) - [Balance Tracker](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/balance_tracker/): A HAF application that provides API endpoints for user account balances and transaction history on Hive. - [Health Checker](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/healthchecker-component): A visual React component for checking, fetching, and switching between Hive nodes. - [HAF Block Explorer](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/haf_block_explorer/): A HAF backend app exposing endpoints for transaction and operation data within Hive blocks. We have maintained consistent transparency and communication with the community through several channels: - **Periodic blog posts** showcasing progress ([dev update 1](https://actifit.io/mcfarhat/development-updates--hive-block-explorer-20241125t130750967z), [dev update 2](https://actifit.io/mcfarhat/development-updates--hive-block-explorer-20250121t140338531z), [dev update 3](https://actifit.io/mcfarhat/development-updates--hive-block-explorer-20250407t123058923z), [dev update 4](https://actifit.io/mcfarhat/development-updates--hive-core-projects-20250818t132544634z)) - **Monthly updates** shared during Hive Core Dev meeting. - **Weekly highlights** via Swarm of Swarms (thanks @hivetrending for the initiative and including our updates) - by the hour? you could check [gitlab](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive) as all is public :) To highlight a **few areas of last year's work**: (you can check the above links for more details and further updates - also visit [hivescan.info](https://hivescan.info) for block explorer UI related work) - New **all blocks page** + live mode for dynamic updates  - **Landing Page** Revamp: to include many useful components and statistics, such as trx stats, hive price chart, communities... - **Hive Price chart**: is now available as a default card component as part of the landing page just below the hive feed price that is also expandable to modal view.  - **Tabbed views** on user profile: To support easy access to user’s comments (& posts), we introduced comments tab that allows quick view and filtering of user content, that also links to the Interactions tab which allows visualizing the activity on a particular post/comment. All those tabs are now also bookmarkable and filtering is accessible via get links. - **Balance history** page: Introduced the New User Balance history page and chart, utilizing new Balance Tracker endpoints to enable larger historical tracking and more data points availability.  - **Bad Actors** list: we integrated bad actors list so that warnings appear if a potential bad actors account is being viewed - **Vests / HP** conversion: Supporting both displays comes in handy whether you're a user or a developer, so we integrated switching mechanisms and related settings. - New **Transactions statistics** card and chart  - New **Proposals page** with related charts and filtering criteria   - New **Communities page** and supported communities display on account pages, alongside subscribers and other data. - **Voters List, Voters history, and many other charts** as well as search capability for witnesses & proposals  - New raw single post page: This is essentially a replica of the old hiveblocks implementation of the single raw post page, including post/votes/comments and is accessible via the same structure as the standard hive post - Witness page revamp + witness schedule support - Vops Support: Add virtual operations to Transaction page and raw view of Block - **Export CSV** functionality: Similar to other block explorers, we now support exporting the data all across the BE. Whether in the operations view, comments, or any other view, you can export the current results you have on the page. - Introducing **card-based components** and display  - **User profile** page complete revamp: Example below showcasing new wallet card view.  - **Extended account balances** endpoint: Expand account balances API endpoint to include market orders and balances under conversion. - Extended view for **proxied accounts' votes** under witness votes card, going down 3 layers deep to display votes of the proxied account (userA --> proxy A --> proxy B --> votes) - New API endpoint for **account proxy-ing users**: Grab users who set a particular account as proxy. This is displayed as a user card under user's profile. - Tokenize Block Explorer and include a **language switcher** supporting 10+ languages. - **Improve Health Checker** display and functionality - **Layout Enhancements**: Improving the layout, UX & UI across Block Explorer UI, including landing page, transactions page, user profile, witness schedule and others. - New API endpoint for **Hive's Richlist**: This enables querying top holders according to their HIVE/HBD/HP or even savings balances. A related page is also now available as part of BE UI. Over the past year, we have **processed 320+ issues and 330+ merge requests**, covering enhancements, bug fixes, new API endpoints, and community-driven feature requests. We initially **started with a team of 4 developers** and, in recent months, expanded to include 2 additional members increasing our count to **6 developers**. This growth strengthens both our frontend and backend development capacity, enabling us to **accelerate our work across the above HAF-based projects, and expand into new HAF-based initiatives** where we see strong potential and community value. We have an extensive roadmap ahead for above projects. This involves building more functionality into the Block Explorer UI with dynamic dashboards, richer user interactions, expanded reporting and analytics capabilities, integrations, user authentication and more. In parallel, we are also focused on developing new API endpoints to make this data more accessible and integrable across other Hive applications and tools as part of HAF. We are requesting **590 HBD/day** to cover the payments to the team. We're proud and grateful to help shape Hive's future by delivering open-source tools that empower developers to easily access blockchain data and build innovative applications on top of it. We invite you to support our second-year proposal and help us continue improving Hive’s ecosystem. **Support This Proposal (360):** - [Vote for our proposal on peakd](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/360) - [Vote for our proposal on ecency](https://ecency.com/proposals/360) - [Vote for our proposal on Hive wallet](https://wallet.hive.blog/proposals) - [Vote for our proposal via hivesigner](https://hivesigner.com/sign/update_proposal_votes?proposal_ids=%5B%22360%22%5D&approve=true) Thank you for your continued support in helping us strengthen Hive and its growing ecosystem.
