What’s New at Cardstack?

We’re getting ready to launch!

A lot has been happening here at Cardstack! Here is our latest update.

COMING SOON: We are about to launch Tally on testnet! Keep an eye on our Discord and Telegram announcement channels and be the first to get the news.

Our developers have been very busy. Ed Faulkner has been working at the framework level to refactor the Card SDK, which is being enhanced to support workflows with multiple participants. We want to make sure cards can truly move between different workflows, different sites, different hosts, and different hubs. Jen Weber is concentrating on the quick start to building cards using this software development kit. Meanwhile, Hassan Abdel-Rahman and Alex Speller focus on the CARD Protocol, while Derrick Camerino, Will Bagby, and Burcu Noyan are working on a library of reusable UI components for Card Folio / Tally, with the aim to provide an accessible UI that allows end users to tap into our capabilities.

We’ve recently published an article about articles! It introduces our open-sourced content management system “Card Board”, which is our first step towards decentralizing publishing and thus giving creators the power over their creations back.

We have switched Discord servers in an effort to consolidate and boost the communication between our team and our community. Read the full announcement here and join our brand-new, official Cardstack Discord channel with one click!

Chris will be at the Hyperledger Member Summit 2019 in Tokyo on July 30. He was selected to give a talk in the “Exciting Developments” category. The topic: “Building a Media Registry with Git and Sawtooth”.

Cardstack Developer Series

Check out this sneak peek into Cardstack’s CLI! Our engineer Jen Weber shows how she uses Embroider — a modern build system for Ember applications — with the Card SDK to eliminate bugs and create new cards.

Have a look at our quick guide for writing a quickstart guide. Jen shares the principles she follows to create the quickstart for the Card SDK, so as to deliver a great user experience for developers.

Don’t miss this video, where Jen actually walks you through the quick start to building your own cards, using the Card SDK!

Let your code write code! In this short video, you can learn from Jen how to improve your programming skills with popular JavaScript tools and apply them to the Cardstack codebase.

More updates are coming your way soon. We appreciate your support, as we build the experience layer of Web 3.0!
