TL;DR:
• implemented sorting attribute columns by scores, wallet row detail expansions, wallet variant filtering and dynamically disabled wallet rows for attributes without data or scores
• ported most typography rendering logic from React → Svelte

Building /quilibrium
Now that the convergence issue was solved, this week has been a speed run to get multiple items over the finish line. The first that made it over the line was reworking how much of the hypergraph is held in memory if that portion of it is stored locally. We are churning rapidly through the mainnet data into this new format so we can all start from the same baseline in testing.
Alongside that has been preparing a sidecar to start QCL testing without directly depending on the current mainnet import being completed. This will land before the week is over, likely Saturday given other objectives in flight.
Some of those objectives are opening up QStorage and QKMS via QConsole for early use to any builder on Farcaster, as well as others who have reached out to me for access. This will provide a _free_ (up to 5GB) way to host your mini apps, complete with MPC-based key management via QKMS. Theres a few other surprises in store with it, but they're better seen and used than said. Onward!

building /indexing, distributed infra for open data
This week we:
- Officially launched docs.indexing.co; new marketing site coming ~next week
- Caused, found, and fixed an issue 3x'ing our internal queue throughputs
- Other bug fixes + optimizations for self-service flows
With these posts, I'll also start voicing some of our targets + immediate roadmap 👇
Current target: 60s from 0 to data flowing
While this is already possible with the tech (e.g. via scripts), the UX isn't there. Some of our immediate roadmap includes:
- Self-service sign ups (accounts, billing, usage tracking, etc)
- More, and more robust, templates + examples:
http://docs.indexing.co/examples

building /quilibrium
This week: We got convergence! (peers agreeing deterministically to a finalized hypergraph state, see root commits in screenshot of confirmed in the wild convergence) Still need to get this working over libp2p streams, but the major hurdle is cleared. Once we've cleared the libp2p stream issue, we move onto QCL and beacon removal testing on testnet, then 2.1 on mainnet.
In parallel, this unlocks our ability to ship the sync fix for Quorum, and start onboarding folks onto Q Console.

2 weeks ago, we reimagined nash as a dead-simple client on top of an mcp server.
you start where you already do ai, then graduate to our ui for more power.
this week, we built a mac app aiming to replace chatgpt / claude desktop. and we finally got apple dev approval—payment still "processing"
