Proposal: Hive Developer Documentation (Q2 2020)

The most up-to-date documentation available and will eventually be deployed to:

https://developers.hive.io

I did some initial rebranding and changed the welcome page to become Hive-specific. The rest of the content still needs to switch to Hive. That's not as simple as just doing a Global Search-and-Replace. This has to be done carefully because some of the things under the hood haven't changed yet.

While a large amount of this proposal will be related to HF23 rebranding/fork, I still have a lot of ongoing work once that's complete.

Repository: https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/devportal

As you can see, all of the documentation will be available open-source. If you would like to contribute, please create an issue or pull request on the production repository, and I'd be happy to merge them.

Scope of Work

  • Finish visual rebranding
  • Replace Steem specific code with Hive, where appropriate
    • Includes converting all language specific tutorial sub-modules <- most time consuming
  • Continue SMT API Definitions <- 75% done, but unmerged

Previous Proposals

My first proposal was #10, followed by #39.

For last quarter, asking for full time pay wasn't accepted (#63). Maybe it's because the amount was too high. Maybe people felt there were more important things to worry about.

Thus, the daily amount I'm asking is 200 HBD, total pay requested for the timeframe: 18,091 HBD

Qualifications

Even before I was on the Steemit, Inc. staff, I had many projects that relied on a deep understanding of the platform. Prior to the existence of the original devportal, I wrote clients and applications by relying on information all over the blockchain.

It'd be better if most people didn't ever have to do this kind of hunting. My goals are not only to collect the information in one place but also verify the accuracy.

Because I write my own applications, I am constantly verifying this accuracy. I am also able to iterate much faster than before, now that I'm basically hosting the documentation myself.

Update: Hosting is now provided by @roelandp.
