@tats_sato wow, you are totally clear what do you need exactly to implement project. I love it.

I think when you finish this app,(at least first version) there would be a lot of reusable modules and best practices based on your effort for others. that is great.

In the requirement section, I see some modules that have been implemented by @guillemcordoba. and you can access them in github. do you still have issues about them, share more please?

Hi, @hedayat!!

Thanks for taking a look at the project!
And yes! There will be a lot of reusable modules that we will be using/creating!
We intend to use what is already implemented by @guillemcordoba and the rest of the community and only build what is not existing yet which we will also open source and make into a reusable zome! We actually heard from @guillemcordoba about the profile zome and we agreed to turn it into a reusable zome as well! The repo is in the holochain open dev repo and we will continue to work on this so that it can be turned into a reusable zome! We love the idea of building together with the community as each modules can be battle tested as more people use it! So far, we haven’t really touched on other modules that are existing as we are not yet in the sprint for those features that will use the modules that are existing already but once we do, we will definitely give feedbacks on what works and what can be improved on!

Hello everyone,

Just discovered the holochain & drilled a little bit before investing in your tokens found this happs pormising project.

Whaou ! Just saw your video, if you are able to aggregate chat streams with username:date & group name, in a global view, you will be able to get something similar to FB or twitter except that later commenting will be missing.

I think if you want your happs going forward & having holochain massively used, you should think about viral applications like FB, Twitters & others !

& you will get the full/all benefits of holochain, enabling people to remove/delete their life/streams & having others not being able to see & read anymore your datas.

That will be a great benefit for users to adopt your chat & get also holochain used massively.

Looking forward to reading from you
Great project & framework
Good luck

Hi
