Hive Keychain DHF 3 - March - Mid April Update

As promised in our proposal, here's a summary of our latest developments.

Keychain extension

These past months Hive account@cedricguillas has been working hard on developing a swap feature that will work directly with HIVE, HBD, and all Hive Engine tokens, and will find the best way to proceed with the swap. We are confident that we will be able to test a Beta version of the swap by the end of the month.

Other than that, lots of work has been put towards resolving the issues coming from the Ledger integration, that as some of you may know, didn't come without some hiccups. We do our best to test everything before deployment but the issues didn't show until we were in production. Apologies for this, we will strive not to let this happen.

We are also working on some small features that will improve Keychain experience: we just released a better version of the username autocomplete, and you can now edit the list and give them labels. You can also search through your whitelisted operations. Soon, you will be able to manage the account authorities you gave as well. Another feature in the works will allow witnesses to see and edit their witness parameters, and to see their rank and earnings.

Mobile App

A few improvements on the HiveAuth process and browser experience will be pushed soon. Not much else to say as we were more concentrating our work on the extension and SDK (see below) this past month.

SDK and Playground

One of the reasons less than usual has been done on the mobile side is that we put lots of energy to make onboarding new developers easier. We've created an SDK that will let them integrate Keychain with a few lines of code only and a playground in which they can test the different Keychain requests.
