Yes… it’s fine as an indication of what’s available but not for reading.

Youtube auto quality can create a haze, that then sees text look slightly out of focus… the HD is fine but even that would benefit from being some base minimum.

Perhaps just bump the browser font minimum … I don’t know if Beaker has the same but in Firefox [about:preferences#content].Advanced.[Minimum font size]

I’ll mention it in this thread also.
Great videos! Thank you for doing them.

It sooo nice to just click, watch, and let all the goodies reveal themselves.

I’ll be sharing these videos at every opertunity.

Great work!

I want to state I’ve been using all the software perfectly fine from two different Windows 7 machines. So it’s not officially supported, but does seem to work or at least for me it does.

Thanks for uploading the video @whiteoutmashups I made a few mistakes during the demo

  1. it is already possible to add content your own css html or js to website with the clearnet but i think it will be used more in the safe network
  2. the beaker docs are really useful but these were the docs i referenced most when making the website

Great work @hunterlester on the videos, they willl help me a lot but i have little constuctive criticism

  1. the videos are a bit hard to follow what exactly you are doing and may require some rewatching to understand fully every action you do and its purpose (especially to new devs), but a blog post could complement the videos adding more meaning to some of the actions and working as a better overall reference

  2. for developers it isn’t too clear what the coding practises to use whether to free the method e.g. cryptosignkey at the end of its function, after the outer function is completed or at the end of the script freeing all the methods at once and what the purpose of freeing actually is (security, performance or both), also the old safe-js used headers and metadata should it be used here, again a blog post could really help this out especially if it contained the code in the video (this could be copy and pasted)

overall great job on the videos but i think some written form such as the code in use in the videos but with comments explaining the purpose of each action could complement the videos and could really help developers , also i think helper functions should be under consideration because the simpler the safe network is to use and understand the less mistakes will be made and the more developers will create their content here as well as developers migrating their content here

Definitely, I can see how the videos would be hard to follow on their own without written context.

Thank you for the critique.

I’ll include code examples and written explanations.

I’m waiting to see who puts the videos on the SAFE Network with Frames. :stuck_out_tongue:

I hope this won’t be needed for long and we can get the full network with proper security up and running soon.

I’m waiting to see if I can finally do anything with MaidSafe.

Nothing is available right now.

Test net is coming very soon, there is internal community testing but only for long time forum members currently but soon will be open to everyone!

Exciting to see this update, bright future ahead on MaidSafesCoin also and the network

Must be the most interesting Omni coin (as it is also one of the first)
