DApp for Hive as a new year's resolution

Hello Hive Community members,
One of the resolution which I have for year 2023 is building the new decentralised app for Hive.
I also have resolution to start an RPC node for Hive.
It's little expensive but hey I've a full year to figure/sort it out.

https://the-hive-mobile.app

• I have already purchased the domain https://the-hive-mobile.app
• Let me know if there are any conflicts with this name.
• I am open to suggestions & input

What to Expect?

• Please Please don't expect anything to work.
• This post is to inform you that I am about to start the work this year.
• I've just added the listing of different feeds of Hive
• That's the only functional thing I've built so far
• I will start working & keep the site updated.
• I will also distribute the app via TestFlight & Firebase.

What do I intend to do?

• I intend to build mobile-application for Hive Community members.
• If possible, progressive-web-app too.

Where do I want to publish?

• I wish to distribute the-hive-mobile.app
• via AppStore for iOS Users
• via GooglePlay Store for Android Users
• If possible, I'll also deploy the pwa (progressive web-app)
• at domain https://the-hive-mobile.app

WHY?

• As far as I know, there are following front-ends / dApps
• https://hive.blog
• Ecency
• Peakd
• Leo
• and many more
• Some of the front-ends are open sources & some of them are not.
• Most of them target web/desktop users.
• As per my knowledge, Ecency has mobile app.
• I want to build an OPEN-SOURCE mobile-app code
• Each community of Hive can take advantage of it & they can also publish their own version of App if they want.
• In future, I am planning to assist different community members, if they wish to publish their app on AppStore.
• But first, I would have to build the app
• So, that answers why part - Help hive-community-members to grow without any hindrance

How long is it gonna take?

• I can not say an exact figure but it will take 4-5 months at least for most common features like viewing posts, add a post, vote a content etc.
• Hive has so many features & based on feedback + inputs from community members, I will continue building the app.
• I wish to put in 3 hours a day at least for app Development.

How frequently will I provide updates?

• I intend to provide updates alternate days if possible.
• But within 2-3 days let's say I've minimal things to share, I'll switch to weekly update.
• In updates, I'll share screenshots of whats done, what's planned & take feedback from community members.
• I'll also try to share new builds for both iOS & Android users on weekly basis.

Where do I find source code?

• Everything I do is open source.
• I am pushing all my changes at GitLab.
• Anyone can access the repo, fork it make changes & raise a merge request.
• https://gitlab.com/sag333ar/the-hive-mobile.app
• It's all OPEN SOURCE for Hive community members.

What is the Tech-Set?

• I am using followings
• Flutter SDK for building Material User-Interface
• Dart Programming Language
• Android Studio as IDE
• Of course, you can not avoid Javascript.
• For some of the chain operations I might be using JavaScript libraries of Hive-Chain like dhive.

Any plans for Proposals?

• Not at the moment.
• I would like to give it a go for 1 or 2 months.
• I want to hear feedback from community members.
• I wish to develop the app first
• Once app has some basic features like listing posts & viewing post details, I will think of creating a proposal.
• How much per day? - In future, when I will create, I am thinking of keeping 75 HBD per day. but I am open to suggestions, feedback & thoughts.

What do I need from community?

• Share me positive vibes.
• Wish me luck for this new endeavour
• Share this to as many hive community members as possible.
• Re-Post if possible
• Write your own post & mention about this project
• Share your expectations. Share Feedback.
