SuperHive is a fully HIVE-based CMS (Content Managing System) that allows every HIVE user or community to create his own website.
Each user can create their own custom installation, with modules, themes, code, ...
Also, SuperHive has an administration panel to post (on chain), create static pages (off-chain), and manage the website (like social networks, SEO, etc).
SuperHive is fully open-source and free. You can find it on the official GitHub repository
SuperHive v0.2.0 was released a few days ago. It features:
All feedback, questions or suggested features have been written in a To Do for the future.
You can see SuperHive in action at the following sites:
@bambukah
@ecoinstant Project called EcoBanker from 
@ecobanker
@bschain
@unkleboneheadYou'll find the same content on the account as on the websites, but the website has custom themes & features.
SuperHive is already running, but we need to fund the future to make Superhive bigger & better.
This funding proposal is made to support an already existing project that is no longer in alpha stage (some users already have a SuperHive instance). We are now in BETA stage and we need to go faster and further to be more attractive and competitive.
That's why SuperHive needs 6000$ within 3 months. In addition to the work already done, we need to have more powerful infrastructure and more people involved the project.
The infrastructure doesn't need to be expensive, but it will need to be powerful and run for months (and years).
Minimal requirements for the server:
Of course, we must have a firewall, some security & performances monitoring tools and backup services.
The install will be made by
With that server, we can host:
We have two domain names already but need to be renew in a year.
A great official website will be built with:
I need to acquire a part time frontend developer and pay a one time contract for a web designer to create an attractive & accessibilty-focused official website.
The URL will be https://superhive.me.
SuperHive will be documented in 3 separate ways:
A general use doc for SuperHive administration and customization including all essential parts of the admin panel and usage.
SuperHive will come with many dev functions to create modules into SuperHive after the creation of our module engine. The dev doc will contain help for any developer who wants to create his own module.
The Designer documentation will contain all the tools needed to create themes for SuperHive. Rules, good practices and graphics tools will be in this doc.
All documùentations will be translated in EN / ES / FR to start. We would like to pay the translators and proofreaders.
SuperHive already has some attractive themes and great functionality, but it needs to be more refined to compete with giants like WordPress or Blogger. The proposed funds will go a long way to create even more features to make SuperHive bigger.
This list is not exhaustive and will grow over time. We also want to have 2 versions (explained in the next section), so we want to hire a part-time dev to go faster.
We want to create 2 versions :
SuperhiveMe is the official stand-alone version. you need a webserver to install it. It's the official website of SuperHive project
This is the hosted version. No dev/tech skills required. Just login in and you'll have your blog with https://YOUR_ACCOUNT.superhive.blog. For this version, we need to build bridge & automatic account creation. A back-end dev is planned.
SuperHive needs to be known and recognized by everyone, inside and outside the HIVE ecosystem. That's why a big part of the costs will goes to Community Management, Social advertising, and HIVE marketing.
We also have some regular tasks like :
Proposal runs for 3 months. All the costs are in HDB.
| ONE TIME COSTS | PRICE | MONTHLY COSTS | PRICE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2X Domain (1 yr) | 30.00 | Documentation | 100.00 |
| Server (1 yr) | 720.00 | Dev core & modules | 700.00 |
| Web design | 500.00 | Marketing | 500.00 |
| FrontEnd dev | 400.00 | Regular Tasks | 150.00 |
| TOTAL | 1650.00 | Total per month | 1450.00 |
| TOTAL x3 MONTHS | 4350.00 | ||
| GRAND TOTAL | 6000.00 |
SuperHive is the first user-oriented front-end which is fully HIVE based. It works like traditionnal Blog engine (WordPress, Medium, Blogger, ...) but also fully open source, absolutely free, and will be easier to use.
The Web3 revolution must go through a transition phase. That's why SuperHive will use some Web2 rules with Web3 integrated inside there.
Many pro bloggers use CMS tools like WordPress, and we intend to make the switch easy to SuperHive. Pros and casuals bloggers can come into the HIVE ecosystem with minimal resistance to learn and join the HIVE blockchain.
The more bloggers we have with SuperHive, the more people will talk about HIVE blockchain.
Outside the blockchain, there are many users who don't know how a blockchain works, but many of them know how a blog works. It's really better for us to join a blockchain project with their skills.
For profesionnal bloggers, SuperHive has many benefits (earn crypto for writing, customizability, built-in SEO & performance tweaks). Superhive is really user-oriented. Another CMS must have plugins or add-ons to have the same performance that SuperHive has built-in.
SuperHive will always be open-source and free (even the hosted version).
If you have any questions about the Superhive project or about this proposal, the comments section is open.
We take any feedback, questions or feature requests to make SuperHive a great project.
Thank you very much for your attention and hope you enjoyed reading this proposal.
