Writing grants and getting them approved + getting everything signed is such a pain in the ass, but it feels nice to get the final bits together and to get started on the work!
@mauve congrats, now the fun starts! what’s the grant funding?
@cblgh We're going to make a bunch of small #p2p web apps for @agregore and write up tutorials for how to make those apps.
We're going to do three sprints with 4 devs making apps+writeups on those apps. So potentially we'll have like 12 little apps to play with and tutorials on how to make them.
Also going to write retrospectives on what we learned about usability and needed improvements at the end of each sprint. 😁
@cblgh We're going to be starting with IPFS based apps for this iteration, but I'm hoping to get a bigger grant from FFDW afterwards to fund work on apps with other protocols like hypercore and Earthstar. Probably also do more work on Agregore Mobile as part of that too.
Also! The cool thing about this is that our apps might be compatible with @capyloon which is also incorporating IPFS protocol handlers into their stack!
@cblgh Ty! I'm very excited for it. Hopefully it'll make it easier to onboard people into this space and make p2p web development generally more accessible. 💜
@mauve @capyloon I'm currently trying to accelerate the emergence of that particular collective creativity driver with wit-wasm component systems. Some of the pieces are there.
I'm a little worried it'll emerge first in Replit, though. Right now replit doesn't even seem to provide lambda hosting, let alone agorics. But I guess any p2p libs are probably supported, although it would feel weird to use them from a personal server and it might not occur to replit users to promote their use.
@mauve right, "fork from this CID" would be so nice :)
