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.
Today Chris is meeting with representatives from some of the top airlines in the world, exploring Cardstack’s potential for travel use cases. You can read more about the recent work we’ve been doing to expand our network and build upon our Framework progress here: https://medium.com/cardstack/cardstacks-development-frontier-a72d3d73c279
We’re starting a new Discord channel for our development updates and conversations. Here’s the link if you'd like to be one of the first to join: https://goo.gl/forms/zEjcBPVtAH8DtVIp2

Discord offers improved moderation tools as well as better user features, such as voice chat and a more searchable message history.

We’ll also be holding our first public demo there next Thursday the 14th at 11:00 a.m. EST, sharing the latest progress on our Framework and how it’s being used toward a specific use case example

We’d love to see you there!

Cardstack welcomes Jen Weber to the Cardstack framework team as a new software engineer. She is currently a member of the Ember.js Core Team. Previously, she spent more than a year working on the developer experience and learning journey as part of the Ember Learning Core Team.

At Cardstack, she will focus on improving the developer experience for the Cardstack framework and protocol, enabling more Web developers to harness the power of Web 3.0, so they can build an experience which millions of users can learn and use. https://youtu.be/NbXu991ggvM
Last week, Cardstack welcomes Derrick Camerino to our first in-person team meeting, who has recently joined the development team and has been working remotely. Previously, he was a software developer at PagerDuty and Google. At Cardstack, his work will focus on application development, with the aim of creating reusable user interface modules any future Cardstack app developer can leverage.
The Cardstack application framework is ready for developers to build Web 3.0 experiences that are connected to both blockchain and cloud data sources.

To jump-start the catalog of card-based experiences, the Cardstack team will build a set of default cards to be shipped, so that every Cardstack instance allows developers and end users to use these cards right away.

To gather more frequent feedback, the Cardstack core team will move to an iterative and open process. As we build more cards to add to the catalog, the product specifications, end user scenarios, design mock-ups, and developer documentation will be shared with the wider community.

As a result, the community will see a steadier stream of updates from the team – in a language that makes it easier for everyone to understand what’s happening at Cardstack.
In the coming weeks, the Cardstack team will transition to a new set of tools. It is our goal to make all the artifacts available to the public, and to capture as well as review feedback, so as to guide our efforts to build the experience layer of Web 3.0.
