Description

Posting to Steem requires a Title, Body, and Tags. This allows your experience to be discovered and enjoyed by others on the network. Get a Steem Account.

Views

We offer the following views:

• Glitch: modify the code in each file of your experience
• dlux Builder: adds a toolbar to the Glitch view
• Asset Upload: Drag-&-Drop asset well
• App View: Live build of your app

Glitch is a collaborative development environment that allows users to quickly duplicate and modify apps. We've built on top of this to offer a social XR boilerplate with drag-and-drop asset upload and Steem publishing.

We recommend creating a Glitch account so you can keep track of all your apps and collaborate easily.

The dlux vr boilerplate is accessible on Glitch here:

App URL: dlux-vr.glitch.me

Build URL: dlux-vr.glitch.me/build.html

Remixing it will produce a new, random project-name. Start by remixing the dlux-vr boilerplate above, or any other project posted to dlux.

Setup your Glitch options:

• Change Theme (user preference)
• Refresh App on Changes OFF
• Wrap Text ON

• On the left you have a Glitch instance which is collaborative, auto-saves, and has the ability to rewind your code.

• On the right you have a running version of your app. Changes made to the code on the left are not shown on the right until you click the Refresh App button at the top.

• At the bottom is the browsers web inspector.

If you need to edit the Steem post that contains your dApp, such as update the preview images or html, follow these steps:

• Ensure you are logged in as the owner of the dApp(the username that posted it)
• Navigate to your dapp on dlux.io or localhost
• /dlux/@username/permLink in the address bar needs to be changed to /post/edit/@username/permLink
  • Now you have the screen to change the metadata that is the ipfs reference to your app. As well as the title and blog post.

Press Submit at the bottom and your steempost will be updated. This action takes Resource Credits. Once you're happy with how your app is working, you need to generate the preview so others know what they're clicking on.

For the blog, you need a traditional preview image, and for the portal inside dlux that goes to your experience, you need a 360 preview image.

1. Take a 16x9 traditional photo for the Steem blog entry by pressing Ctl-Alt-S

2. Take a 360 photo for the portal preview by pressing Ctl-Alt-Shift-S
