Since my last update, I have created a new endpoint for polls and made some optimizations and bug fixes to HAF Plug & Play. Below is a summary of the work I've done and what's next.

New Polls Endpoint
I added a new endpoint to get a list of all the polls that a user has created, filterable by active and tag.
plug_play_api.polls.get_polls_user
Documentation: https://github.com/imwatsi/haf-plug-play/blob/master/docs/api/plugs/polls.md#get_polls_user
Optimizations & Bug Fixes
- updated tag limits to support longer tags, which can be used to link polls to specific posts
- updated vote count mechanism to exclude votes made after expiration date
- added
curlcommands to docs to provide more examples of how to access the APIs - added missing timestamp to newly created polls in the main SQL function
- fixed sql queries to include
createdfield when results are returned
Looking Back on 2021
With the development of HAF by the @blocktrades team, the Hive blockchain's data has become a lot more accessible with the flexibility of PostgreSQL. The possiblities it introduces has led me to rethink all of the projects I am currently working on and below is a summary of where the projects are and what to expect this year.
Plug & Play
The development of the HAF-based Plug & Play has taken up most of my dev time lately and a few weeks ago I announced the release of a public beta that's open to anyone who wants to integrate custom_json op based features to their development stack.
A landing page for Plug & Play is under development and I aim to release it in a week or two.
Polls is the first open protocol/feature that I developed for Plug & Play and it is available (in beta) to any Hive dApp that opts for an integration. I am currently working together with PeakD to integrate polls on their frontend. @peakd @jarvie @asgarth
Umbrella Organization
@ladymwatsi and I are setting up an organization to umbrella all the projects we are building on Hive. The name will be revealed early 2022 and all I can say for now is that it will reflect the ethos of all the software we are working on.
Social dApp
We've been working on a social dApp and it's moving along nicely. We are aiming to release a public beta to the community in the first quarter of this year.
HAT
Early last year, I began working on a sidechain and protocol for attention tokens and monetization, controlled by accounts on the Hive blockchain called Hive Attention Tokens (HAT).
Work is currently underway to move the protocol over to using HAF and make it a Layer 2 token solution.

We are looking forward to getting things done on Hive this year. Hive on!
HAF Plug & Play Proposal
The DHF proposal for the HAF Plug & Play project is currently funded. Thank you for supporting this project.
