Since my last update, I've been working on deploying a stable public beta for HAF Plug & Play.
Pull Request: https://github.com/imwatsi/haf-plug-play/pull/7
It is now live at https://plug-play.imwatsi.com. The node is currently syncing and you can view the status of each element by either:
- visiting https://plug-play.imwatsi.com/ or
- making this call on the API - https://github.com/imwatsi/haf-plug-play/blob/master/docs/api/standard_endpoints.md#get_sync_status
Production Server: https://plug-play.imwatsi.com
Dev Server: https://plug-play-beta.imwatsi.com (unstable, may not be available at times)
Calling dApp developers
You can now integrate your dApps data in Plug & Play. The core code is stable enough to start building plugs for apps now. I am starting work on Podping's plug and endpoints this week.
If you want to use Plug & Play in your dApp, just get in touch with me and we'll discuss your PostgreSQL data schemas and endpoint designs.

API Documentation
https://github.com/imwatsi/haf-plug-play/blob/master/docs/api/api.md
The following endpoints are available currently:
Standard Endpoints
- get_sync_status: the node's sync status
- get_ops_by_block: all custom_json ops within a specified block number
- ping: ping endpoint
follow Plug
- get_follow_ops: a list of global follow ops within the specified block range (or last 24 hours if not specified)
- get_account_followers: a list of Hive accounts that are following the provided Hive account
reblog Plug
- get_reblog_ops: a list of global
reblogops within the specified block range (or last 24 hours if not specified) - get_account_reblogs: a list of all reblogs an account has made
Reblog operations are split into two custom_json ops, one with the reblog ID and one with the follow ID. The current server supports reblog based operations, I'm working on supporting the follow reblog ops.
Current work scope
- onboard Podping
- complete support for all
communitycustom_json ops - add support for the reblogs done under the
followop ID - onboarding website
That's it for this update!

I run a Hive witness node:
- Witness name:
imwatsi - HiveSigner
- Witness name:
I love the idea of being able to use my username as a login. Making Hive my access to the internet. Supported
So is it like, dapps can now use this only ?
dApps can now design their
custom_jsonop related features and have access to data easily via endpoints, which I offer help to design. For example, if Splinterlands was a new game coming onboard, they could opt to use Plug & Play (or a customized version of it) to handle all the game data generated by users.It makes it easier for developers to make apps, without handling much blockchain code.
So for example I want to write a new dapp, that would persist a post to the main blockchain and then some custom json - so I would have to do two operations ? one for the main one and another for custom json ?
Yes, you will have to do two operations.
How Plug & Play helps is on accessing the aggregate
custom_jsondata that your dApp deals with, using PostgreSQL tables/views and customized API endpoints.So you won't have to stream blocks to get those
custom_jsonops or run your own server if you don't want to.Without Plug & Play, you will have to stream whole blocks from the first block that your app started, using a library like
beem, to populate your own tables and spin up your own server to avail API endpoints.Wow this is awesome! I didn't understand much of it but innovation is a great thing. I love to see projects that move the blockchain and its adaption forward. 👍
Thanks for the support!
Holy crap!
Awesome & solid play.
I was just reading your last update, and saw the url of : https://plug-play-beta.imwatsi.com/ maybe forward to current ver if no betas running? Idk about your entire setup, but might make things more seemless for others who come across the 502 bad gateway error page. ^>^
Thanks, I put it back online. That's where I test new code, so it might be down for short periods of time. The production one will have much higher availability: https://plug-play.imwatsi.com/
A redirect sounds good, maybe to a static page saying it's down at the moment.
If you want support of people like me (non-techies) summarize what a plug and play HAF is, in simple words. (NO reply needed just adjust the text)
Sure thing. I'll write a short summary :)
awesome work, thank you <3
