building /cove

this week we:

* built a mobile-first UI
* set up kafka+websockets
* switched to embedded wallets
* ran a playtest of the game - tx: https://sepolia.basescan.org/tx/0x1695e503fd3ec358b1b4860055cb96852182f2efd766dcb0fb483f3aa605aec1#eventlog
* zoomed out and came up with a new "big swing" startup idea
@cdt calls it sneakypushing when i merge a pr into the ui repo and it stops him from pushing straight to main

final cast before my boost runs out!

hi, my name is paul

follow me if you like ethereum, startups, music, comedy, and/or tennis
this is inspiring me to add terms of service sooner rather than later

what’s a good template or existing example to start from?
what’s the best smart contract protocol docs site you’ve seen?

i feel like there’s a lot of potential for visuals and a good intro to make a protocol easy for newcomers to grok, but i haven’t seen a great example yet
finally, more than one user op per tx!

for a while there it was always just one.

here’s an example from one of my recent smart wallet user ops

my boost helped me find the interesting content i had inside of me this whole time
i love a rainy farmers market

I got boosted this weekend, and I think it made me graduate as a farcaster user from active to engaged
what’s your favorite open-source solidity 0.8.x repo?

looking for inspiration + modern best practices now that I’m writing solidity again
how I spend my time:

1. smart contracts
2. strategy (gtm, network effects, idea maze)
3. design (wireframes, user archetypes, brand)
team of 3, all engineers.

here’s how we split the dev work to optimize for shipping:

ui: @cdt
api: @jomessin
contracts: me
next week, we’ll wire up new contracts + ui + api for the 3rd time in 7 weeks

contracts: /foundry
ui: next.js, tailwind
api: /ponder-sh
/dev
in the /cove protocol, the admin of a group can be a person or a smart contract.

the smart contract can be an onchain game.
