TLDR; prefigurative artifact that seeds the idea for what technology could be like

tweet thread breaking down how important it is:
1/ With all the discourse around a “web3,” I’ve been wondering what a new web actually looks like. This co-created, evolving, interactive website is our best attempt at articulating what a “better web” looks like and how we get there.
Stewarding this into the world has been full of joy and discovery.

2/ A few months ago I wrote about how software is inherently magical and our need to give the control over software to everyone rather than just trained technologists.
This piece fundamentally argues for the need to create agencyful software.

3/ Shortly after that, I got involved in @verses_xyz
4/ This was also an experiment in creating participatory artifacts. how to capture a complex idea in an interactive, participatory way to tangibly demonstrate those concepts.

WE ARE LAUNCHED

got the server set up and using Prisma which is an automatic ORM over postgres, actually ends up being super nice…
- next step is to actually hook up making the contribution on the front end and then making that experience look super nice
2021-12-31
Focus for today
- get server set up and figure out API scheme
- POST /contribution
- wallet address
- contribution data
- POST /twitterVerify
- GET /contributions
- filter by:
- principle
- prompt
- address
- filter by:
- GET /contribution/:id
- POST /contribution
- figure out where they are storing the interdependence server right now

e2e flow is starting to come together. Added the terms of service and the input of contribution and the storing of data in IPFS, but metamask isn’t connecting to sign the transaction and connect to the contract.
- jamie wang prefers having the mint come later and launch date of Jan 17
- in this case, we can skip all the metamask stuff and just add to IPFS retroactively when we do the contract. I can axe the work I did for now or at least move it and focus on setting up server for handling our things.

got a basic testnet contract working and set up the repo for auto-deployment via vercel https://testnets.opensea.io/assets/mumbai/0xc3eb1ef81c73cc22488a54acc2e0b0f52d35945f/2
read a bunch of stuff and learned about the scope of what i need to monitor for creating this NFT and also how to do smart contract development in general.
alejandro is doing amazing iterating on the blobs = universes = verses idea and it’s really coming to life.
