As you might know
@hiveonboard provides a wide range of tools for 3rd party dApp developer in order to outsource the process of account creation and focus resources on the value the dApp brings to the ecosystem instead of a use-case which is already well implemented.
Since more and more tools have been added to this service over the last few month it's time to wrap up things and give you an overview of all those options available for developer.

URL Example:

Create Accounts on your own using Hiveonboard
As mentioned above you can supply a creator account name which will result in the Hiveonboard backend to talk to your creator instance (if supplied to hiveonboard).
As you can see in this overview, a proxy service (in this case a serverless Node.js function) acts as a proxy between the account creation frontend and the Creator Node.js app which are in full control of HIVE stakeholders.
You can find out more about running a creator instance in
this GitHub Repository or
in this blog post.
