Some of the builders need to make the repos public.

REGRU for example is closed source, but he said he would open it for judging. But we aren’t quite at the deadline yet, so they have time!

How far away are we from downloading an app, opening the app and using it to interact with the network? Ie all operations will be done using the app and only the app?

We’re already there and have been for a while! JAMS is one app and it’s published as a binary so no compiling and you don’t have to run anything else to run it. You just need an Arbitrum address with some Autonomi token and some ARB ANT in it to create an account. Then you can upload music and download other people’s playlists. Thereafter you don’t even need to log in to the account to play your music. Just launch the app and play things. You only need to log in to upload or download more music.

Is setting up and funding both an Arbitrum/ETH wallet and ANT wallet basically essential right now for using apps like this? Or could it work for someone without having to go through all that?

If you want to only download from the network, Colony doesn’t require a funded wallet to get started. Install the binary, wait for it to sync, and you’re searching the network. Any upload operation or interaction with web apps will require tokens however.

Thanks @zettawatt that’s encouraging. From a regular-user perspective though, when I read “install the binary, wait for it to sync” the average person would be a bit lost - I wouldn’t really know what that means without looking it up. Do you think this will eventually get to the point where it’s just a simple one-click download and use experience for the average person?

This is a fail on my part. As an engineer I’m so deep in the weeds its hard for me to convey the concepts to normal users. I need a marketing person to help translate :rofl:

Its pretty close to that now. The big downside is you have to go to the github page to download the app from the releases, but after you have it, its a double click install. The install wizard walks you through the initialization like any other app. After IF I plan to form an LLC so I can put these on the standard app stores people are familiar with. Then it will be no different from installing any other app on your devices. The hurdle is bureaucratic rather than technical: app stores require you to be a registered company or non profit organization to post apps that deal with crypto nowadays.

No need for funds to browse websites either, though this is not yet built into Colony but “coming soon” (as I finish support for that). In the mean time you can use dweb stand alone (not itself an IF entrant).
