The landing page for Hive Plug & Play is now live! View it on: https://plug-play.imwatsi.com. It will serve as an onboarding and marketing tool, to help developers begin integration.
Serverless deployment
Developers have the option to develop their custom_json based features and deploy them on the public node, without having to run their own servers. My team will offer support throughout the whole process to those who opt for it.
Custom server
If developers want more control over their Hive Plug & Play integrations, they can run their own server, in which case they will install the publicly available source code from GitHub on a server, develop and deploy their features without depending on the public node. Support is also offered by my team, to ensure they get up and running.
Project showcase
There’s a section where we’ll showcase the projects that have integrated Hive Plug & Play into their tech stacks.
Public protocols
All of the public protocols we develop for Hive Plug & Play will be shown on the landing page, with links to API documentation and the broadcast operations that need to be made on the blockchain to make it work. We currently have one public protocol: polls, which allows any Hive-based dApp to add a polls feature for its users. Future planned features include discussion rooms and contests.
Testimonials
This section contains comments and remarks from developers about their experience with Hive Plug & Play.

I run a Hive witness node:
Witness name: imwatsi
- hive.blog Witnesses / https://wallet.hive.blog/~witnesses
This looks like a good project! Do you also run custom code or only predefined functions so far?
Thanks. Do you mean custom SQL functions?
If so, then we can add your own functions to the public node by adding it to the main repo. If you have a feature that's dependent on
custom_jsonops then get in touch through the contact form on the landing page and we'll assist you.Do I understand that right? When a custom_json occurs in which I am interested in, you start firing a function that I previously defined. So, you providing some event-driven, serverless function management like AWS or Azure but just for the HIVE network?
Yes, you define the functions and which
custom_jsonops to look at and how to store the data, and also define the API endpoints you want to access and we add them to https://plug-play.imwatsi.com/docs.Check out the first Podping endpoint I did and SQL functions and tables. I wrote all that for them.
I recommend designing your
custom_jsonops according to this standard I published, it will make future upgrades easy to implement because it has versioning in-built: https://github.com/imwatsi/haf-plug-play/blob/master/docs/op_standard.md. It's ok if you have historical ops, like Podping, we can integrate them as well.I'm writing a post to explain the
custom_jsonop standard in more detail.That all sounds really well thought. But a question left: I still need a second, own server to run periodically requests to your API and listen for these events or do you alert them via Webhooks likewise?
It depends on your app design... If your app just needs API access when someone accesses the frontend, then the endpoints will be enough. In most cases you won't need a second server unless you want to do data manipulation that you can't put on Plug & Play.
Webhooks is an interesting suggestion, but I haven't implemented it. I'll look into it.
Ahh, now I understood it. I was just thinking to much as a backend developer. So, this is really something with huge potential because some dapps could nearly ignore their backend and just get the data from you - brilliant!
I also like the opportunity to host such a node by your own. That's why I definitely will support your Proposal
I will have too keep my eyes open on these project as it looks interesting and i have in mind projects i will like too run
Get in touch when you're ready. I will help you
Is it possible to make a moba with these resources on android with no root required or should one focus in learning to make .obb, java with nodes+sockets or unity technology for one?
Very cool first stop shop to get into the field, very encouraging

Interesting project! Would you have a free tier for testing?
It's currently free to try out. :)
I wish success of this project as it sounds really great. Thanks for informing us with this update.
Thanks!
You're welcome 😊
Interesting!
Maybe I will soon also be able to build a dapp? :0
