I believe Hive has what it takes to be an OS of sorts for social interactions and communities on Web 3.0.

Another area that is vital is ease of use. This is the entire premise behind the Hive Application Framework (HAF).

Agreed. I was amazed at how easy it becomes to get data sets for your apps.

I'm developing an HAF-based app that will allow developers to stream custom_json ops, which will make it easier for app developers to create dApps that leverage Hive.

There's a proposal up for it right now and it's almost funded: https://hive.blog/hive-139531/@imwatsi/proposal-hive-plug-and-play-as-a-haf-app
