Let's talk about what to expect from Hivesigner in 2021. Update on state of Hivesigner is long overdue, apologies for that. Last few months there has been a lot of feedback regarding changes on Hivesigner and we sat together with team month ago and planned what can we do to solve those user experience related issues.
Ultimately, we choose to rewrite Hivesigner frontend and making sure it is much more user friendly, not only for crypto/tech familiar people as well as new users who are much more familiar with how web2.0 works. Current codebase is not really extensible and different from our dev stack as well, making it harder to maintain and extend.
Hivesigner's strength is in OAuth2 authentication, many probably doesn't see it but it is the best thing Hive could have in terms of easy adoption. All social networks have Sign in with button, Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. And making sure Hivesigner is easily adopted and integrated into many web2.0 apps is our job.
We love OAuth2 and uses cases it offers is enormous, it is like a bridge between web2.0 and web3.0.
Here is what we are doing in our rewrite:
- User authorization flow simplified
- User security layers improved to be extendable (explore options such as hardware, 2fa, pin, touch id, face id using Web Authentication API)
- User transaction signing improved (operation finder, easier form filling generation)
- User app usage stats
- User authority management (remind user to revoke unused apps/services)
- App registration simplified
- App scope enforcement
- App usage stats
- Active or hot signing made easy
- Discovery of new apps and services improvement
- Onboarding
- Backward compatibility
- Improve/show/introduce more use cases
Some of the features we all loved in previous versions combined with new experience will come to life soon.
Expect initial new release of Hivesigner in Q1 of 2021.

U were always ma fav good at explaining things very much clearly
Great! And could Hivesigner be made to work as a Beechat authentication method? Right now Beechat doesn't support users who have logged in with Hivesigner. (As you know, Beechat was recently integrated into PeakD.)
Beechat devs decided to create their own authentication, when they started, I asked them to use Hivesigner authentication which would basically unify user experience. It is still possible, just couple lines of change on their end. Hivesigner auth tokens integrated into openhive.chat, imagehoster instances in similar way.
Great, I hope they see this.
Let's talk
Niiiiiiceeeee

Thanks for all the development work you do. It is difficult to make simple what is going on in crypto space today, so it is only fair to thank you for the efforts you are making.
Hello, @good-karma Are you contemplating the possibility of adding a way to signup on Hive with a Twitter, Google and Facebook accounts?
Signup with email is most simplest way, anyone on internet can understand that and follow streamlined process, adding extra signup options are good way to expand of course, will have to think...
