Hey folks! 👋 Buckle up, because I’m about to take you on a journey through my latest project: SE2-Gun. It’s been one heck of a ride, but I’m pumped to share it with you! 🚀
What the heck is SE2-Gun? 🤔
In a nutshell, SE2-Gun is a boilerplate that mashes up ScaffoldETH2 with Gun.js and Ethereum blockchain magic. Sounds complicated? Well, it kinda is, but it’s also insanely powerful for building truly decentralized apps (dApps).
Why did I do this to myself? 😅
Honestly, I was tired of seeing “decentralized” apps that still relied on centralized servers. I wanted to create something that was decentralized to its core. So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. 💪
The Cool Stuff I Built 😎
-
SE2-Gun-Extension: This bad boy makes it super easy to get Gun and the Gun-Eth plugin up and running in ScaffoldETH2. It’s like a plug-and-play for decentralization!
-
Authentication System: I cooked up a neat little system that uses Ethereum signatures and Gun.js. It’s like a secret handshake for the blockchain world. 🤫
-
Inspector: This is like x-ray vision for your Gun.js data. Super handy for when you’re knee-deep in development and need to see what’s going on under the hood.
-
Account Profile & Information: I whipped up some slick components to manage user profiles and account info. Because even in the decentralized world, we need to keep track of who’s who! 👤
-
Gun-eth : This is a package is a Plugin for GunDB that integrates Ethereum with Gun, enabling data storage and retrieval on the Ethereum blockchain.
The Not-So-Fun Part: Challenges 😓
Let’s be real, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The biggest headache? Making sure data sticks around and syncs across devices. Right now, it’s using browser local storage, which is great for development but not so hot for the real world. I’m still working on hooking it up to the right relays to fix this. It’s like trying to herd cats, but with data! 🐱
What’s Next? 🔮
I’m stoked about where SE2-Gun could go. It’s opening up a whole new world of possibilities for creating secure, scalable, and user-friendly dApps.
If you’re into this kind of stuff, come check out SE2-Gun on GitHub: SE2-Gun. And hey, if you want to contribute or just geek out about decentralized tech, hit me up!
Let’s make the internet weird again… I mean, decentralized! 🌐✨
