I'm terrible at promoting my projects, and this has been live and usable for months without getting an actual announcement post.. So ..

<center><h3>Announcing <a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev"><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/4qWMfkap-image.png" title="hive.ausbit.dev"></a></h3></center>

An open source hive block explorer, post viewer, and more.

It's not polished, I'm still not completely happy with it but it's functional enough to be useful in a few ways. *Lets take a tour*:

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/ZX9K4IMf-image.png"></center>

Here's the <a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev">home page</a> (for now) , displaying modules for:

- Recent posts shared by me, trending and "hot" posts
- A listing of all current working public API nodes for hive, sorted by performance with test results provided by @fullnodeupdate
- The minimalist witness list, with all info available by hovering
- A market view of Hive, Hive Dollars and Bitcoin with data provided by @coingecko
- An expandable/browsable view of the most recent irreversable block

<center><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/@ausbitbank"><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/ofem7ZqI-image.png" title="Account View" /></a></center>

<center><h4>Account View `/@username` :</h4></center>

- Has all the usual account meta information expected from a block explorer
- Shows raw view of all transactions on your account since creation
- Shows recent posts shared by a user
- Attempts to use all available metadata to customize users header

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/ghfFKuXJ-image.png"></center>


- **Contains a simple `posting_json_metadata` editor**, so users can point to whatever outside services or coin donation addresses they want saved on a public **immutable censorship resistant blockchain**. 


<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/R3mnhstc-image.png"><br />*Pro Tip - don't make your home address public if you don't like visitors*. <br />**Play Smart Kids ;)**<br /></center>


If there's interest from other UI developers in adding a similar feature please see <a href="https://github.com/ausbitbank/hive.ausbit.dev-src/blob/master/src/components/accountHeader.vue#L116">this code</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/ausbitbank/hive.ausbit.dev-src/tree/master/src/statics">this folder of svg logos</a> to save yourself a bunch of time. 

I plan to keep expanding to support new services/coins/things , feel free to suggest more in the comments or dm me on discord.

<center><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/@ausbitbank/wallet">Wallet View</a> `@username/wallet`</h4></center>

A basic wallet for transferring, viewing balances and account history for both Hive and Hive-Engine tokens.

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/G7KAue12-image.png"><br />Uses market rates to also show prices in USD for transfers.</center>

<center>
<img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/la0oCvFf-image.png"><br />All hive-engine tokens can be expanded to show descriptions and supply stats with a link to their market
</center>

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/x65K2olq-image.png"><br />Transfer all the tokens!</center>



<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/I6cNWpeC-image.png"><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/hbd">Hive Dollar Monitor</a> `/hbd`</h4></center>

A basic tool to monitor Hive Dollar market and haircut conditions.

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/qkHmntzv-image.png"></center>
<center><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/@theycallmedan/hive-is-bitcoin-s-future-sidechain">Post Viewer</a> `@username/permlink`</h4></center>

Basic post and comments viewer, also shows other recent posts from that user. Read only (for now)



<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/mOSaj1Ov-image.png"></center>
<center><h4>Block Viewer `/b/blocknumber`</h4></center>

View a specific block, can be viewed in a minimal version as used on the homepage
<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/hclpcJ4H-image.png"></center>

Or at the bottom you can click "Show Raw Block Data" to access the raw json of the whole block
<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/iqSwV8N6-image.png"></center>

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/sUgCfNEU-image.png"><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/tx/546471d9d0eafc22a1291a8c92cf4f1ac00d610e">Transaction View</a> `/tx/TransactionId`</h4></center>

View a raw transaction, like this little bit of *history*  above.

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/zo6Alxqe-image.png"><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/nodes">Nodes</a> `/nodes`</h4></center>

Direct access to the API nodes viewer widget ( I just wanted to show off my node in the fastest spot again :P)

If you hover your mouse over a node, it shows the full report from the account metadata of @fullnodeupdate . Each dot from left to right represents an overall ranking of this node for different areas, that are explained in more detail in posts by @fullnodeupdate .

I sort servers using a score created by just adding up all their ranks. A rank of -1 signifies an error (and the overall sorting score for that server is heavily penalised for errors).

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/QKNm1ntt-image.png"></center>

The colours are a just a gradient representing scores/ranks from light green (best) to dark orange (worst) with red for errors.


<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/mo7f4xDy-image.png"><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/witnesses">Witnesses</a> `/witnesses`</h4></center>

Direct access to the witnesses widget, which can be expanded to show 200 witnesses and alert about issues with pricefeed age, abnormal witness parameters, highlight new witnesses etc .


<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/qLuTD6rU-image.png"><h4><a href="https://hive.ausbit.dev/health">Health</a> `/health`</h4></center>

A dashboard view that's more suitable for witnesses and node operators during times like network hardforks.

<center><h4><a href="https://ipfs.fleek.co/ipfs/QmZC6k4F4zuUByhyfP3yfKyNST4YGzEd3n2pKtVMuZNLkK/">IPFS</a></h4></center>

I regularly build a slightly modified <a href="https://github.com/ausbitbank/hive.ausbit.dev-ipfsbuild">version of the site</a> (using hash routing) and host it on the Inter Planetary File System so it's accessible even if dns requests for <a href="https://ipfs.ausbit.dev">ipfs.ausbit.dev</a> are blocked.

<center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ausbitbank/BRHfutL4-image.png"></center>

You can find it by clicking this icon in my account header , or looking at the `ipfs` tag in my account metadata. This way once you've loaded any version of the site, you can use it to find and load the most recent version :) Simple, but powerful. 

Anyone can link any hash from their account in the same way.

The current hash at time of writing is `QmZC6k4F4zuUByhyfP3yfKyNST4YGzEd3n2pKtVMuZNLkK`

It's also seeded with IPNS & dnslink at <a href="https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipns/ipfs.ausbit.dev/">https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipns/ipfs.ausbit.dev/</a>

<center><h4>Tech Stack / Notes</h4></center>
It's completely written in client-side JS using quasar framework (vue), hosted on netlify, with ipfs hosting provided by fleek + cloudflare.

As it's technically a Single Page Application , link previews sucked at first. I'm now using netlify's prerendering service to simplify things for common link preview agents (eg: discord, facebook, twitter etc). More work is planned there for SEO purposes.

I don't track user activity at all, and don't plan to.

For now all write calls are done with hive-keychain, reading with hive-js.


<center><h4>Summary</h4></center>

I'm aware we have other block explorers, but to my knowledge none are open sourced so I made this. It's becoming a sort of hybrid between a block explorer and a traditional frontend, as well as a testing ground for me to experiment with ideas. There are other pages not linked here, incomplete modules and a lot more to come in time.


I plan to update it more until it's a complete polished package with all of the views you get in other frontends - and eventually taking parts of that code to develop hivelive.io .

Mobile support is terrible still, there may be bugs, and <a href="https://github.com/ausbitbank/hive.ausbit.dev-src">Pull Requests and Issues</a> are welcome.

I don't include any traditional advertising, but I do include relevant, useful affiliate links in the top left menu. It's a free tool not a business, but tips are always appreciated ;)

Enjoy, I'll finish with some wise words from someone that left us way too soon.
