Hive Distriator App - Supporting different sign-in methods

• Hive Distriator supports 2 different methods to sign-in
• It includes Hive Keychain based log-in & HiveAuth based login.
• There are other types of log-in which can be added.
• We can add 2 more - Posting Key based log in. The other one is HiveSigner.

HiveSigner Log in method

• So far, in the apps which I've worked, I didn't integrate HiveSigner.
• Due to this, I had to check docs first.
• For any tech person, integrating HiveSigner, after reading docs, shouldn't take long
• With documentation, everything seems clear & easy to implement.

Integrating HiveSigner in Flutter based project

• I created a sample project to experiment with new things.
• Overall goal was to achieve following 2 things
  • Open an in-app-browser & load a link
  • Handle any URL redirection / Detect URL redirections
• To achieve it, I used this tutorial
• https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/flutter-webview#0
• Both goals, with this tutorials, I was able to achieve

Debugging HiveSigner

• When you are running first time hive-signer, you don't have anything on your device.
• So, you are required to add your keys to your device.
• HiveSigner saves it & encryptes it with a password.

• Once your keys are saved, HiveSigner does the redirection.
• Your app is supposed to handle this URL redirection & grab the values from URL query parameters
• You can find all details about it over here - https://docs.hivesigner.com/
• So, we did add the code for grabbing the query parameters

• Now, we have the token.
• With token, you can call the broadcast API to broadcast the operations on blockchain.
• So, after integrating that broadcast API, I gave it a trial

• For some reason, it didn't work.
• We kept wondering what went wrong here.
• Debug & debug - good amont of time spent here to find out the root cause
• Really couldn't figure out why it isn't working

• So, at one point, we decided to log the redirected the URL & copy token from log.
• After copying the token, we tried it in the postman

• And everything worked just fine in postman
• After that, I checked notifications of my account
• It was all there, I did get the upvote as expected.
• This helped us point to the code which needs to be corrected.
• The code to grab the token from redirection-url had a small typo.
• This small typo led to hours of debugging.
• Some days are just bad & sometimes small mistake takes whole day
• Today was one of that day & luck wasn't with us.
• HiveSigner, in my opinion, is one of the simplest login mechanism
• We will discuss & decide on what login methods we should be adding on Distriator
• Once we've a decision, we'll integrate it & deploy.

Rewarding Hive Content Creators

• I support several contests hosted by different communities.
• I reward them with Hive-Power-up for the contribution that they have made on communities on Hive.
• We keep transferring portion of hive power to different users on Hive for encouraging them for their contribution on Hive.
• Those who respond to our replies, we also reward them with different tokens like ALIVE, PIZZA, BEER, LUV
• No power ups were sent today.
