HI @jeff0723, thank you for your proposal! Can you confirm if this project is open source? Also, can you provide more details on the steps you will take over the next three months to develop a mobile version and more advanced recommendation system?

jeff0723 commented 2 years ago

Yes, this project is open source. As for the next step of development, we are going to use react native to build our mobile version. Due to the issue of connecting wallet, we will first build our in-app wallet to send every transaction. Then, we will also talk to XMTP to see if their mobile SDK is ready. For the file storing part, we will still store on ipfs but not ceramic and maintain a user metadata DB to store their CID. And for the recommendation system, we will collect users' on-chain data and build a machine learning model to recommend user things (like match, follower) based on their on-chain activity.
