really helped to understand what people want. So we have discussed more and created a more organized idea for these App funds / competitions (rather than me just shooting off my ideas alone).
MaidSafe Asia has the funds to kickstart apps, and they really want apps that showcase to newcomers in Asia and overseas what SAFE is really capable of. They want a few solid apps that have clean UI’s to accomplish this. Therefore, we are planning to offer $500 - $2,000 USD range prizes (negotiable based on proposals) paid by them to fund apps in the following categories:
We are doing this with full understanding of where SAFE is in development. These apps MUST be made 100% OPEN SOURCE with current APIs and tools available, and coded with the mindset to be easily extensible / updatable with new data types and functions once those become available in Alpha 2 from MaidSafe. So the code must be readable, organized and clean so that the functions can be rewritten as needed in the future.
They want these apps to be ready for the wider global audience ASAP as they are always planning events, so developers please feel free to give proposals for anything in these areas right below, in the replies here. They have the money and the drive to make things happen NOW!
(jokes aside, yes, and the Asia group is making that a priority. I think they just posted about that on their forums. They are making the app list a sticky post for now)
You need to run it on a webserver and have cors enabled (there are plugins for chrome and firefox for ease of use) as well as have the mock safe launcher running
If you want to test out the UI for android just bring the folder over to your phone and run an app called KWS webserver and you will be test it out its UI and how it works as a progressive web app on all the android web browsers
get file metadata andmove data aren’t working for nfs files yet,
move and rename shouldn’t be working for nfs dir yet everything else should be functional
One of the big points for the upload app was being able to accept all types of files (image video gif) and being able to somewhat display them on the page.
If you’re willing to do this I’m sure they would be willing to pay extra for it! We can definitely talk though, great work so far!
great, so back to the App Competition thread that people DIDN’T hate (cuz it’s paid for by MaidSafe Asia instead of you guys / the community).
We’re looking to start the first official one at our next SF SAFE Pod Monthly Meetup! Early August. We will have a complete API tutorial for everyone, and be giving out a small amount of MAID to all our Meetup-goers who complete the tutorial with us at the event.
We will give out the SF Pod official flash drives with all mockR files on them, walk people through making a simple index.html site with some < script> tags with the JS DOM API commands in them, and we’ll get a few of the functions working. Then people will have time to customize it, fonts, background colors etc and once they like it, we will all upload our index.html files to the network (using my invitation, 1 file each per person), and let you guys know the URLs so you can check them out Then we’ll all make OmniWallets and send them a bit of MAID each, upon completion.
Then, we will explain that we are beginning a monthly App Competition, ($100 MAID for 1st place, $20 MAID for 2nd, $5 MAID for 3rd) where all apps are submitted to the forums (this one and MaidSafe Asia forums) to be voted on. All app entries MUST be 100% open source upon submission for everyone to use and learn from.
Will also do demos of all the other currently-working apps, and another showcase of TEST 17’s current websites and apps, to give them ideas.
Anyone can enter these monthly competitions online as well (except core MaidSafe team :P), and the new winners will be announced and paid each month at our SF SAFE Meetups, to encourage more attendance and participation in the APIs etc.
Look for us early August downtown SF to get some $$$$MAID
I’ll try to have the video that gives a rundown of the main.js file ready for the meetup.
The app competitions sound like a great idea, best of luck with everything.
