Update:
We did some initial testing with a small group of volunteers on PunchBowl (the test immediately before beta) and the results were great, far better than I expected:
Achievements unlocked: built on Ubuntu 24 and running on:
@Southside .deb on Ubuntu 22.04 after 'sudo apt --fix-broken install`
@19eddyjohn75 .deb on Ubuntu 22.04 (no extras)
@Josh - .deb on Ubuntu 23.04 (no tweaks) ![:partying_face: :partying_face:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/partying_face.png?v=12)
@aatonnomicc - .rpm converted to .deb running on Mint
(after turning the user off and on again
)
The following did not work:
@Josh - AppImage on Ubuntu 23.04 (“nothing happens”)
Thanks to all who joined and allowed themselves to be experimented upon. ![:clap: :clap:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/clap.png?v=12)
I now have a build for Windows set up as well as Linux. I can’t build on Mac myself, but it would be great if someone would like to try that. It should be straightforward. I’m also working on mobile but that isn’t there yet.
I have also been working on the app and have fixed the ‘big bug’ where pages would lock up after a few clicks as well as a few other things. And thanks to
@loziniak I’m able to build for the beta network at last ![:clap: :clap:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/clap.png?v=12)
Unfortunately I don’t have enough nanos to put up any test websites yet for people to use with the app. I have a few nanos, but not enough and as you know they are like hens teeth rn. ![:chicken: :chicken:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/chicken.png?v=12)
So I shall continue to develop and can publish builds for anyone who wants to … publish a website with their spare nanos (the ones kept out of rewards). I know some are doing that so let me know if you have enough to try uploading to the beta. The app can estimate the cost for you before you upload, so that would be a useful test too even if you don’t have enough nanos yet.
Any website that doesn’t rely on a server will be fine. So if you can load it into your browser locally without running a web server it should work on Autonomi. Anything from a single page with an image or whatever, to a blog created by a static site generator will work.
I have tested a few sites, including one made with Publii which is like WordPress but runs locally and generates static websites so this stuff does work. You can even import WordPress sites into Publii, so that is a very interesting thing to experiment with, and upload when the nanos are abundant enough!
So reply here or DM me if you have a few spare nanos and want to try uploading to the beta network.
