It's day 18 of the 30 days challenge, the full source code of Peer Query alpha has been published to Github. In this report I will highlight what every potential user of the code will have to know.
To begin with, I hope the I did not break the contribution rules for contributing whole projects in one commit. I could not find any other way, I hope I will be pardoned.
What is Peer Query?
A Steem content interface
Peer Query is a Steem Content browser that allows users to browse content via specific tags. Peer Query is only a client that interfaces content on the Steem blockchain which mean that it does not host any of the content generated on it.
The project is in the alpha version and to this point has been developed solely by me. However I am opening sourcing it from this point on. I will continue to contribute to it and all open source contributions is also welcome.
With the code being open source, I will now focus on adding a few updates, then incorporating, building a team and launch a beta.
More than a client
While the alpha version does nothing other than to simply fetch and display specific content from the blockchain, the beta version will include a more holistic rendition.
An API, a mobile app, an Steem node, a voting bot with manual curators, daily contests, fetching content exclusive by Peer Query and more are on the way in the beta version which will soon follow this alpha version.
Again, the theming of the site is another area which will see major upgrade. With a query specific theme, we will be able to support advanced interactions unique to each type of query.
Terms of Contributing
Use @Utopian-io
With the open source nature of Peer Query, all contributors to the code do so freely to a project which is shared by all. For this reason there will be no compensation by Peer Query to contributors of the open source code.
I would encourage all prospective contributors to publish their contributions via @Utopian-io so as to be compensated for their efforts.
Contribute what can be open sourced
All contributions must be in the nature that they can be open sourced. Contributions related to things specific to the brand of Peer Query such as logos, slogans/motto, management practices and likewise will only be considered as voluntary complements.
Stick to the nature of the code
Seriously, I will not merge any pull requests containing complex, buggy or a new dependency based code.
This means that while the project is currently written with Javascript and JQuery, I will not merge any requests based on any new libraries or frameworks, be it React, Vue.js, Angular or whatever.
This also means that all new UI components must be styled to support Semantic UI, which is what Peer Query is styled in.
