Hive Distriator App - Supporting different sign-in methods
- Hive Distriator supports 2 different methods to sign-in
- It includes Hive Keychain based log-in & HiveAuth based login.
- There are other types of log-in which can be added.
- We can add 2 more - Posting Key based log in. The other one is HiveSigner.
HiveSigner Log in method
- So far, in the apps which I've worked, I didn't integrate HiveSigner.
- Due to this, I had to check docs first.
- For any tech person, integrating HiveSigner, after reading docs, shouldn't take long
- With documentation, everything seems clear & easy to implement.
Integrating HiveSigner in Flutter based project
- I created a sample project to experiment with new things.
- Overall goal was to achieve following 2 things
- Open an in-app-browser & load a link
- Handle any URL redirection / Detect URL redirections
- To achieve it, I used this tutorial
- https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/flutter-webview#0
- Both goals, with this tutorials, I was able to achieve
Debugging HiveSigner
- When you are running first time hive-signer, you don't have anything on your device.
- So, you are required to add your keys to your device.
- HiveSigner saves it & encryptes it with a password.
- Once your keys are saved, HiveSigner does the redirection.
- Your app is supposed to handle this URL redirection & grab the values from URL query parameters
- You can find all details about it over here - https://docs.hivesigner.com/
- So, we did add the code for grabbing the query parameters
- Now, we have the token.
- With token, you can call the broadcast API to broadcast the operations on blockchain.
- So, after integrating that broadcast API, I gave it a trial
- For some reason, it didn't work.
- We kept wondering what went wrong here.
- Debug & debug - good amont of time spent here to find out the root cause
- Really couldn't figure out why it isn't working
- So, at one point, we decided to log the redirected the URL & copy token from log.
- After copying the token, we tried it in the postman
- And everything worked just fine in postman
- After that, I checked notifications of my account
- It was all there, I did get the upvote as expected.
- This helped us point to the code which needs to be corrected.
- The code to grab the token from redirection-url had a small typo.
- This small typo led to hours of debugging.
- Some days are just bad & sometimes small mistake takes whole day
- Today was one of that day & luck wasn't with us.
- HiveSigner, in my opinion, is one of the simplest login mechanism
- We will discuss & decide on what login methods we should be adding on Distriator
- Once we've a decision, we'll integrate it & deploy.
Rewarding Hive Content Creators
- I support several contests hosted by different communities.
- I reward them with Hive-Power-up for the contribution that they have made on communities on Hive.
- We keep transferring portion of hive power to different users on Hive for encouraging them for their contribution on Hive.
- Those who respond to our replies, we also reward them with different tokens like ALIVE, PIZZA, BEER, LUV
- No power ups were sent today.

- I'm thinking of moving them to different systems.
- Hopefully by tomorrow, I'll have it working. Wish me luck.
- We've added one more developer in our team recently to speed up work in Distriator.
Updates: Video Encoder Nodes
- I'm running 12 powerful video encoder nodes for 3Speak Community Members.
- Monthly internet bandwidth usage which exceeds 15 TB, Maintenance cost, Electricity backup, Internet backup, Depreciation cost - it's all on me.
- On 2024-06-11, 3Speak published total 126 videos.
- My video encoder nodes encoded 105 videos from 126 videos published.
- It means, my encoder nodes encoded 83.33 % of total videos published on 2024-06-11
- Here is visual representation of above data.
