Also thank you to @upstate, @Secretariat415 and @dlux! (Trying not to flood the forum )
Indeed it looks like an exciting time for MaidSafe and the SAFE Network, Iām very happy to come aboard at such a time.

Yeh, it definitely makes the transition much smoother.
Iād heard horror stories about typescript compilation times, but Iāve never tried it, ārawā so to speak. But this way of using it as a test (which you can run separately to any build process, as and when youāre ready), really sounds ideal to me. Iām excited to start getting types in and reaping the benefits!
And aye, as we get that going we should look to transition in other repos too!

Iāve never had this issue, but it might be due to limited-sized codebases. Vue with hot-reloading seemed to do it fine. I believe itās an outdated problem, Microsoft worked hard on optimizing the compiler after the most basic features were in. It might also depend on whether you compile everything to a single file or compile every file individually. Individually would be more like how Makefiles work I assume.
I actually hardly compile TypeScript anymore because you can run TypeScript just like Node.js with ts-node, same for tests.

I want to recommend this presentation of Tor on FOSDEM to the crust team @nbaksalyar @ustulation @povilasb @douglas.santos , if they havenāt seen it yet. It discusses heavily how to get around for example Chinas firewall and which methods some countries use in attempt to block Tor.
Thanks @draw for recomending this video in previous dev update.
As for the future I would also recommend @dirvine and @nicklambert to watch this presentation if they have not yet watched it. I think when SAFE-network get launched, it would benfit from lobbying who speaks for the SAFE-network and try to give organisations and countries who could see SAFE-netowork as a threat, to give them reason for benefits why they should support the network. The guy from Tor have had alot of talks with political, defense organisations, human rights and so on, giving them different benefits for supporting the tech from the needs they have.

Great update Maidsafe devs,
And welcome @douglas.santos
@dirvine had the shortest time and delivered an infinite message into the audible universe. Moreover these kids on clearnet are making it so easy 
for the SAFE Network

Thanks for another weekās work everyone!
Exciting to see people really starting to build interesting things on top of the network as well, looking forward to testing things out when I get a minute.
Just a quick question Iāve been wondering about for a while. Not sure if itās a dumb one because itās pretty obvious and Iāve not seen it mentioned anywhere, but is there a mobile browser in the pipeline or in existence?

At the moment there is a PoC SAFE Authenticator on mobile, but we donāt yet have a mobile browser released. Company wide discussions about future front end releases beyond Fleming, which is a technical network release, are currently ongoing, but a mobile browser has featured in those discussions.

Thanks!
Was just thinking that everyone is so mobile orientated these days, and thatās where we all show off things, so would be a nice way to spread the word. I guess the difference between a native app on the clearnet and one on SAFE doesnāt seem so immediately obvious as the difference between going āon the internetā or āon the safe network.ā (if that makes sense!)

Yes totally agree, providing Client access via mobile is essential. Once we have the sequence of events agreed weāll let everyone know.

@joshuef what do you think about a mobile browser? Do you think using beaker again would be the way you go? It looks like beaker doesnāt have a mobile version yet. And the original SAFE Browser was built from scratch, right?
Where do you think a mobile browser for SAFE would start?

@whiteoutmashups Whatever happens with a mobile browser, it most certainly wont be built from beaker (as the original SAFE Browser was), as itās based on electron which is desktop only.
Iām not sure where it would start. Iāve got limited (~ zero ) mobile dev knowledge, so thatās probably more of a Q for our mobile guys ( cc. @AshwinKumar )

Hey @whiteoutmashups, We havenāt started the SAFE mobile browser development yet as itās not the part of the current milestone. We might consider this in our upcoming milestones and for starting either weāll look into some existing open source mobile browsers or build from scratch.
