This is an informal announcement of a "posting app" that lets people manage HIVE accounts securely in groups and allows new authors/users to submit posts without having a HIVE account or knowing how HIVE works. The app has currently been successfully beta tested on 1 account, which is @restore.world.

Now Imagine a world, where someone didn't need a HIVE account to make their first post on HIVE.

About the Author

While this seemingly simple idea has been bouncing around, especially in my head, for years, implementation proved tricky. This is not the first time we have done something like this, but it is the first time that we have a such a battle tested and comprehensive platform for use.

Anyone can add a HIVE account with just a posting key at ecobankdevelopment.com, or create a new one, and manage users in their "group". We securely manage keys but experienced users would recommend using only the posting key to any sensitive accounts.

This allows new users to submit posts, under the moderation of an onboarder, and even gradually work up to having their own HIVE account, possibly accumulating rewards along the way. Its also secure key management for anyone who works in teams to organize a HIVE account, regardless of technical understanding level. Everyone logs in with an email, and if you forget your password you can recover it.

Speaking of email, we are still on free tier email service so it can take a few minutes to deliver emails, but they are also tested and working.
https://ecobankdevelopment.com is also a partial-feature front-end for HIVE, you can see your posts on ecobankdevelopment.com/@username.

I think this could possibly be useful to spark a renaissance of HIVE onboarding, allowing people to better organize quality content corporatively and encouraging people to ease their similar-minded friends into onboarding.

But anyway, I need these tools to be able to manage our efforts locally - so we built them, together with my friend @thecrazygm - on whose blog you can see all sorts of shenanigans already from this site :)

Consider the site in open beta, we are taking feedback and making adjustments as we go - you too can try it out, and let me know what you find.
