Team notes on web pages, stored in your company Airtable.

Hive is an internal company browser extension that lets your team attach tips and warnings to any web page.

Notes are stored in your own company Airtable, so you're always in control of your data.

Get from Chrome Web Store

Use cases

This extension was originally created for the buying team at White Rabbit Express, but it's invaluable for any group or organization repeatedly interacting with different websites.

Use Hive with your team

1. Install the extension from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/geonjpedhdlahodmcacapmbgkckaknmm/
2. Go to https://airtable.com/shr1dxKNQusW47dRP and click Copy base in the top-right corner.
3. Set your Airtable API Key and Base ID in the extension.
4. Invite team members to your Hive Airtable base, and set up their extensions with the same Base ID.

Customize and distribute internally

1. Rename .env.example to .env and replace the Airtable API Key and Base ID inside.
2. Run yarn and yarn build in the root folder.
3. Publish the newly generated zip in the artifacts folder to the Chrome Web Store as an Unlisted extension.
