Hive apps are made with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You can use most features as in a standard web application. The Hive window is proportioned more similarly to a mobile phone, so we recommend to follow mobile web design guidelines.

Each Hive app has access to a Bitcoin object with wallet functions such as sendCoinsForAddress() or getClientInfo(). You can find a mockup of this API here: https://github.com/grabhive/hiveapp-support_hive/blob/master/js/fake_hive.js

follow API guidelines
create manifest (e.g. here: https://github.com/grabhive/hiveapp-support_hive/blob/master/manifest.json)
make icon (e.g. here: https://github.com/grabhive/hiveapp-support_hive/blob/master/icon.png)
zip into .hiveapp
send manifest as pull request to ____
