• Sismo: We use Sismo's Connect Data Vault to let users generate ZK proofs from their wallet (data source), so that we can fetch their vaultId (user pseudonym), and groupId (community).
• Tableland: We wanted a permissionless SQL-like on-chain database. We used their Studio & Console clients, SDK, and CLI to create, store, test, and manage tables & queries. Tables are hosted on Goerli Arbitrum (we're cheap) & locked.
• Stack: NextJS, NodeJS, TypeScript, ExpressJS, Netlify, SQL, ReactJS, TailwindCSS.

• Team Constraints: Team of 3, each with full-time jobs, dedicating weekends and nights. We had to carefully plan for MVP and sacrifice certain requirements deemed optional.

• Feature Enhancements:

  • Recursive Commenting: Comments on comments in posts.
  • Unlimited Communities: Limited by Sismo on pre-defined groups (communities) to add communities without additional devOps.
  • Content Updates: Allow users to edit and update comments, posts, and profile pictures.
  • DAO Admin Control: Ability for communities to be governed & controlled by the members themselves; giving control over descriptions, images, and entry requirements.
  • Additional Data Sources: Add Sismo Data Source venues beyond wallets, such as Twitter and Telegram, for community expansion.

• Latency Improvements:

  • Server-Side Optimization: Improve server response times to reduce front-end load.
  • Client-Side Efficiency: Improve UX and UI performance.
  • Caching with CDN
  • Micro API Optimization
  • Framework Selection: Evaluate more efficient frameworks and technology stacks.
  • Decentralized Client Integration: Fleek.co for permissionless hosting (extra work on the routes).

• Gasless Transactions: Gasless but at the cost of security.

We welcome any feedback, improvements, and amendments to these repositories 🙌 :

• API Server - A Server API connecting to the tableland on-chain DB.
• Frontend - A NextJS frontend dApp.
