Introducing Hive Coding—a brand new initiative that aims to fuel further Hive blockchain development through a collective community effort.

Hive Coding is a multi-faceted developer-oriented initiative by 
While planning out the School, many more ideas started popping up and being discussed, and it quickly became apparent that a few satellite initiatives will follow. Hive Coding is supposed to be an umbrella under which all of these initiatives can be gathered, developer and promoted.
Hive blockchain has a wonderful lively community of users and a solid history of many years of evolution. Thanks to the fact that it is completely community-driven it is very resistant, which has been already proved at least once.
But everything has its drawbacks. In this case lack of the single entity responsible for leading the platform, there is in effect a lack of uniform strive for the blockchain to be developer- and user-friendly. The Developer Experience of building on Hive is not great. Moreover, we have a multitude of different tools, apps and interfaces, each taking a different approach to solving its problems.
Hive Coding’s goal is to help developers on Hive to get things done easier, faster and in a more reliable way. Some of the ways in which this will be accomplished are:
Learn about some of our initiatives below. The list is definitely not complete, but we want to share what we are working on and what we get the most excited about!
As mentioned before, the very first initiative of Hive Coding is the Hive Coding School. It is a part of a broader proposal created by 
The School is a 3-months-long series of workshops held weekly in Królestwo Bez Kresu in Kraków. The aim is to teach developers about the blockchain technology and Hive in particular, as well as how to build software that runs on Hive.
OnHive.io is a developer documentation website that we want to become a go-to place for anyone wanting to build software on Hive blockchain.
It will contain a knowledge base about Hive, a multitude of documentation articles about Hive and different tools/packages for it, as well as helpful tutorials that lead developers step by step through various topics.
What’s great is that the entire website is and will always be open source, so it’s very easy for anyone to contribute: add more details, write articles from scratch, and so on.
Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress, so there is a lot of content that’s missing from the website. Of course, you can help with that, too! :)
wax battle-testingWith the ongoing development of the wax SDK, we want to start using it as soon as possible, to learn the tool, find bugs and performance issues.
Thanks to that we will be able to build a documentation on how to use wax, as well as provide the core development team feedback on any issues we stumble upon—whether bugs, performance issues or improvement suggestions.
hive-astro-loader is a custom data loader for the Astro Content Layer API, which will make it extremely easy to fetch and display Hive content on any website or web app powered by Astro.
This is a work in progress, but expect a release soon!
This is a project that we won’t share too many details as of now, because we are still working out the details.
However, the idea is really exciting, as Hive Content Blocks will completely change how content on various Hive interfaces is authored and formatted. This is a big pain-point of Hive apps, as Markdown content is not always easy to work with, and there is lack of more advanced formatting options (such as rich content presentations, multilingual content, etc.).

We are really excited for all the things described above, and are already working hard towards them. Follow
If you have any comments, ideas or general feedback, please leave a comment and let us know what you think! If there’s a particular topic that interests you and you’d like us to cover on OnHive.io, let us know!
If you’re a developer, feel free to **fork instytutfi/onhive.io repo and contribute your knowledge**.
Soon we will also make it possible to feed articles into the website straight from the Hive blockchain—you’ll be able to publish a post, and when approved, it will show up on OnHive.io website.
Another way to support our initiatives, is to vote for The Kingdom Powered by Hive DHF Proposal, which will help make the Hive Coding School happen!
