Chainlog Week 55:

  • Hammad switches us to Vercel allowing for more dynamic change-making, implements imgix to make the site load faster & deploys the whole thing to a permanent domain - MyMeta is now live! 😱

  • We had another call with 3Box, Raid Guild & 1Hive to get updated on the latest from 3Box and hopefully follow up by joining forces on building MyMeta.

  • We also got two more developers join the MyMeta team; ECWireless & Damjan.
    But we need moar. MOAR DEVELOPERS.

  • Luxumbra does a complete redesign of the wiki, with some help from Saimano in removing useless things & me in throwing a bunch of ideas up the wall. Made it look as slick as MyMeta; screenshots below.

  • Vanilla graduates our announcements channel into an actual announcements channel, allowing others to subscribe to it. Also makes the meta-announcements channel aka #📣-metaphone live, after adding DAOHaus & MetaMedia to a full list of guilds it is subscribed to - Raid Guild, 1Hive, LexDAO & MetaFactory.

  • Topping it off, he also added a bunch of new roles and the #role-select channel to help us target the right players for announcements and calls to action.
    Go pick yourself a role! 🙃

  • I added a channel too #my-thing - for you to shill your startup, project or whatever hobby or skill you’re working on! 🤗

  • New podcast episode is live! This time we talked to Griff Green of Commons Stack on topics ranging from community-building, values in the Ethereum space and the broader crypto space drama.

  • Then on the 27th of October, I’ll be getting interviewed myself - for The Stoa. 😮

Coming up:

  • Dan13 did good progress on the profile creation flow, which should soon be connected to the back-end. With MyMeta player profiles live, the next big goal is to build the Guild profiles.

  • With the wiki completely redesigned, its time to update the content! This Friday Community Gathering - other than welcoming & meeting new players - we’ll be doing a read-along through the wiki, checking up what’s outdated or missing.

MetaGame Wiki

Before getting into MyMeta, have some before & after screenshots of the wiki!

🤨So, WTF is MyMeta?!

MetaGame is sort of like LinkedIn, except not boring and nothing like LinkedIn.

MyMeta is your decentralized profile - to begin with.

Since what we’re trying to do here is build a new world, it makes sense that one of the first things we build is a place for you to show who you are.

A place to display skills & traits, your past work & affiliations, your play style & maybe even your NFT gallery.

  • A place other people can use to get in contact or contract with you.

Of course, this is Web3; MyMeta isn’t being built just for players of MetaGame.

  • MyMeta will be for anyone who wants a cool-looking decentralized profile page.

Here’s what the player cards look like:

And here’s what the MyMeta profile itself looks like:

MyMeta design v0.98

Now onto what we want from it…

In the long run:

  • MyMeta shall be customizable as fuck in any way imaginable.

  • MyMeta shall work equally well for an NFT artists, a blogger, a smart contract developer &… a DAO 😱

  • The people shall be able to integrate smart contract interactions to use it as a dapp dashboard or a shop? Maybe.

To begin with:

  • What you see is what you get.

Next:

  • Implement the whole profile creation flow & whatever is missing.

  • Make it all work for guilds.

Mostly using React, TypeScript & GraphQL…

…OK?

Ok what?! I’m telling you all of this because we need your help!

  • You can help us build it.

  • You can help us find builders.

Come on now, ping me @petheth and tell me you want to help. Shill this post or refer your builder-friend to us, just do something. No? Then at least sell me your Seeds.

Player of the week: luxumbra; made the wiki look hella hot
