Hi,

We are two programmers with web and iOS app development experience. One of us has taught UI/UX design before. We are based in the SF Bay Area, please hit us up if you have a project idea!

Best wishes, Monica

Hi Monica, are you in the Slack group?

swijckmans commented 4 years ago

Hi Monica,

This sounds interesting. Are you still available to join teams?

With kind regards, Simon

Hi,

Are you still available! We are looking for someone with web development/app development experience to help us with our project. #82

Would you be interested?

Best, Marium

Hi Monica! Are you still interested in joining a team? I am in need of webdev experience; my project is Joscopia: an online resource to help students gain insights about real jobs from real people, collection of mini-feature articles/profile stories designed to inspire students by exposing them to the plethora of cool jobs they can pursue. Thanks!

Best, Kaylee

Are you still looking for a project? Would love to join forces! Check out the project so far at github.com/IPFC medium article

Hi Jewcub (uhm I feel kinda uncomfortable with the handle can I have a diff name to call you by?),

We are still available for the 6/5 deadline. My friend might genuinely like the idea, because she works in education and I might like it because I am literally reading on IPFS right now and am interested in becoming an educator too.

I am available for a phone call this week to talk, in the meantime I will try finish reading your spec and the IPFS paper before that.

Best, Monica

Hi Monica! Sorry for not leaving a signature! You can call me Jacob. (Not religious at all but my name is Jacob Cohen-Rosenthal, perhaps the most Jewish name ever, hence the handle 😆)

Great! I think IPFS is a great choice. Make sure to check out Textile.io, that's what I'm planning on using for the user data wallet Especially watch this https://youtu.be/glbV7azZ0vY I've been really interested in distributed networks for a few years but because of transaction costs and speed, I think ETH is not a great choice for most projects unless they have a financial element and super strong need for censorship resistence. Most other blockchains are also either too slow and expensive or have skewed incentive structures. As a bonus I think Mozilla has also cooperated with the IPFS team before.

I'm working on a new article about the data wallet idea and using Textile. I'll let you know when that's ready. Yeah I'd love to talk more. What platform would you like to connect on? I just joined the Mozilla Builders Slack with my full name

Hi Jacob,

Looped Paige into the email thread.

Ah, cool, will check out what you sent eventually.

Yeah, how did you go about learning how IPFS and FileCoin work by the way? I am Wikipediaing and using the white paper and I’m enjoying it, but tips are always appreciated. My goal is to understand the system and market so I could interview for a job at Protocol Labs, so this project looks like it could really help me. I like that you clearly know and thought of the space extensively, broke it down into something manageable, and studied Psych and Art and Chinese and seem to be pretty polymath for fun. I like psych and art too, do you have an instagram? Do you think the Mozilla people expect teams to want to monetize eventually?

I like the idea of using Keybase combined with Zoom for meeting, but am flexible. Discord? Ah, I don’t check the Builder Slack that often :/

Read your article and first impressions are: 1) the saving where on the Internet you lifted the information using a Chrome/Firefox extension is a super gold idea in my opinion. And if that is available to everyone who views the card that could be a good selling point, actually. Have you heard of the Zotoro extension? In general, I would like the JSON format to require a source in addition to front and back now that I think about it- it can slow malicious data from bring added to the system and it is just good practice for students to get used to. Misinformation prevention should be addressed. 2) for the normalized database tag->card schema I feel like it would become really burdensome for users to pick a tag out of predetermined options? Could you expound more on your idea? Denormalized could be good, do you think the system should favor reads over writes (I skimmed Wikipedia on denormalized databases correct me if it’s not what I think it is)? I guess if a few students make it and share it, then it makes sense to prioritize reads, but honestly from a learning standpoint I would prefer that everyone writes flashcards because that reinforces learning versus just using the flashcards? Then again, maybe the students already studied and are just checking what they know, hm. I don’t know is the verdict. 3) didn’t know about Anki, interesting 4) Uh there is no 4 but 5 is about 5 5) Something about goal 5 kinda gave me niggling thoughts, but I’m not sure what. I guess from a technical POV if the data JSON is getting hashed I’m unsure how to search over it. 6) would teachers be hosting the information sharing on this app? Should they get privileges/a special class of IPFS node? Hm this may be a later iteration musing. 6) I read your website. The learning title is funny and clever lol, though didn’t read the article. Does being in China affect the decentralized aspect of your idea, as in would people prefer it/be against it/or literally not care with the whole IPFS backbone?

I think I’d like this project and benefit from learning about the decentralized tech world from someone a bit more in it, so I’m tentatively in. I could do a few hours in the morning every weekday. Fair warning, I’ve dropped off projects before and I don’t have a lot of experience with flash card apps, but I get a good feeling this time?

Hi Monica, That's a lot to get into here. Let's get connected on another platform and continue the discussion! You can send me an email here jacob@jacobcohen-rosenthal.me and just tell me which platform you wanna connect on, I should have all of them.

Also, I just pushed a rough draft of an article about My EduWallet to my blog so you can check out where I'm at right now as far as this project. For the Mozilla Builder project I want to focus on that, as a basis for an open EdTech ecosystem, and IPFC would be an example of an app that benefits building on it.

I feel the urge to answer some of these questions here, but don't know which to pick, haha. Regardless, it would be awesome to have your help at whatever level of involvement.
