We have some new updates that you may be curious about for our DHF proposal

Recently, We have had some in depth conversation with the @blocktrades team. They proposed a unique way on how to achieve some objectives we both shared for Hive. How to further decentralize Hive and how to do one of our projects for the upcoming year while at the same time assisting a technology that could benefit the greater Hive community. 

## WEB COMPONENTS
@BlockTrades team member @mtyszczak recently introduced a set of Hive Web Components, which are modular "building blocks" designed to easily display Hive content, (such as but not limited ot: posts, comments, tags, or witness information). Instead of many different website developers needing to build custom integrations with Hive from scratch. When the project is done these components will let developers more easily copy-paste a small snippet of code, instantly embedding rich Hive content that automatically handles interactions like voting, commenting, and account information and then they style it the way they want.

The Peak Open team has decided collaborate on this project and be the first big tester of the new technology. 
While this is not the simplest approach, it will be the approach that has the potential if successful to benefit Hive itself. If these two teams working together succeed it can help Make Hive content and actions easier for anyone building on Hive. This approach can make it simpler and faster for new future projects and websites to join Hive’s ecosystem. This means more visibility, adoption, and innovation across Hive as a whole, benefiting the entire community.

## WHAT THIS MEANS TO THE PROPOSAL
It means more of our time (Specially at the beginning) will be spent doing more collaborative development work with other teams and assisting them with their goals that can in turn help ours. It also means that we will be spending more time on foundational technology before we get to the exciting stuff you guys may be waiting for like the customizable PeakD like sites. It does mean a time delay.

However not much really changes in our end objective. We will still build a full customizable hive site for users. We will still be able to upkeep and upgrade our other projects and we'll be able to do a couple of our other new projects. However it may take a bit more time since we're essentially adding a new project to our proposal.

There is still a chance that this new approach may not be sufficient to the needs of a customizable site and all parties will want to keep evaluating this.

# BUY IN FROM THE COMMUNITY
In our last post there were so many great ideas and opinions about the use cases for a customizable website. There are obviously many other things we plan on for this year. We still want your ideas and for you to share what you're excited about.

Of course we still need to get confirmation from the Hive community if this is what they want and the get that proposal funding so [vote here](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/peakd)
