Introducing Discover Hive - A home for Dapps, Tokens, NFTs on Hive

Having recently launched @reverio and working alongside other projects such as @wrestorgonline, it still amazes me how hard it is to find information about new projects and projects currently being built on Hive. Even with @wrestorgonline, we often see new people coming to the new project who are regular users of Hive, who have never heard of it before, and of course, these things take time to grow, but there should be tools out there to make this easier.

Recently, I asked this question on @reverio:

and @forexbrokr gave a great answer:

and it got me thinking, we need a place where anyone can find the right dapp for them at the click of a button.

Projects on Hive come in many different forms, communities, tokens, games, NFTs you name it, Hive really has it all, and although projects in the past have attempted to do things similarly, we need a home for all of those projects, so users can be pointed in the right direction to find new and existing projects that are being created within the Hive ecosystem.

So with the above in mind, I'd like to introduce a new project I've begun working on called Discover Hive, Discover Hive aims to become a home for Dapps, NFTs, Tokens and more on Hive, below I'll give you a sneak peek into some of my ideas and what I have planned.

Dapp Tracking & Analytics

Although we've seen projects do this in the past, they seem to have come and gone, so I'll be bringing back a leaderboard that will show analytics surrounding the number of transactions, user counts, volume, etc.

Ecosystem

Although the method of creating for tracking dapps where you can count stats relating to usage, there will also be another page dedicated to other things such as libraries, wallets, and other tools that are making the lives of Hive users easier.

NFTs

With the introduction of NFTs through layer 2 platforms, it should be easy to find information about upcoming and current projects, within Discover Hive there will be a dedicated page to help users keep up to date with the latest news from NFT projects.

Tokens

Again, with many layer 2 tokens being created, navigating through active and inactive projects can be hard through our current tools, so a dedicated area for tokens will be available to help provide projects that are building with additional exposure.

Onboarding

In addition to all of the above, it wouldn't be complete without an easy way to get started with Hive, so the site will also feature ways to onboard new users to Hive, this will include allowing payments in multiple different methods (Bitcoin, Eth, Debit card, Apple pay, etc), RC pooling from the community (more on this to come) and more lucrative referral programs to make it easier and more efficient to onboard users to Hive.

The above are just a few of the ideas that I have planned for the platform and they will evolve as I continue building, but as always I like to put my ideas out there early to gather feedback, allowing me to mould the project into something truly valuable.

So with the above in mind, it would be great to hear your thoughts on whether Hive needs such a platform and if so, what would you add and improve?
