Today's Discovery: Getting Data From Hive With Javascript Isn't That Hard

Been wanting to see what I can do with Hive-JS for a while and finally decided to just dive in at the shallow end by spending a little time perusing the Hive Developer Portal and seeing how easy / hard it is to just get some data and display it on a web page.

I didn’t want to use Node, just vanilla Javascript, but the docs seem geared toward Node, so it took a bit of figuring out, as I’m not a pro coder.

All it does is get my username and profile image and display them. But now that I’ve discovered it wasn’t that hard, I’ll probably play with some of the other methods in the near future.

Anyway, here’s the code. Not very useful, sure, just documenting my baby steps here.
