Hi Cardstack community, We are close to a major software release of the Cardstack framework. We are working on a set of demoable features that hooks into the Card rendering pipeline we have been working on, as well as a Git based distributed versioning work flow that is ready for the community to use. We will be scheduling a series of weekly demos starting in about 2 weeks that will walk you through various use cases of how you can leverage the Card paradigm to create decentralized applications that feels like polished web experiences, but hooks into one or more decentralized technologies underneath. Our focus is to get the top level of the experience layer right, and we will be announcing our four edges design system, which implements the common capabilities needed for Card development as a set of out-of-the-box functionalities and system services. We will walk you through what developers get out-of-the-box, and where the areas of customizations and extensions are. For those interested in the underlying architecture, we will also provide an overview of how the code works together to create this cohesive experience that could be extended to cover most of the techniques needed to decentralize the key elements of the web as we move towards a web 3.0 ecosystem.

As we approach a major release of the Cardstack software, Chris is here to chat about what we're building. Please submit your questions in our community channel (https://t.me/cardstack) using #AskChris!

A behind-the-scenes look at our dev team thinking through an engineering challenge today in our internal demo. Soon you'll be able to get your hands on new Cardstack features, as we approach a major software release.

Cardstack Community,

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful questions.

Because I felt your concerns deserved a more generous response than simply running through each question, I provide a rather comprehensive update on where the project’s at and where we’re headed in 2019: https://youtu.be/lHNEG2PYky0

You’ll find an updated roadmap, specific use case details, and more—as well as the big-picture perspective on where we’re positioning ourselves in the Web 3.0 landscape.

I take the community’s input very seriously, and appreciate your continued support. The Cardstack comms team will be available tomorrow to walk you through your more specific questions in-depth.

Thanks again for being a part of the Cardstack journey.

Here’s a short teaser if you want a taste of what this update is all about: https://youtu.be/WLD_-lv3GA0

When you use a centralized cloud service, you are not really in possession of anything. Here's how we fix that.

Another milestone! 👏🏼👏🏼We delivered our first set of features to our client dotBC, a UI with the 4 Edges Design System. Here's our product manager Dmitry (patterned shirt)with dotBC's CEO Ken Umezaki (gray shirt) and project manager Alex Mitchell (black shirt), discussing our next deliverable: the Card Flow versioning and workflow system based on the Git Protocol.
