C8

Secret NFT repo.

Setup

This project uses a framework called Redwood.js to get the benefits of graphql and typescript out of the box. To install the dependencies, run this in the root directory:

yarn install

Fire it up

yarn redwood dev

Your browser should open automatically to http://localhost:8910 to see the web app. Lambda functions run on http://localhost:8911 and are also proxied to http://localhost:8910/.redwood/functions/*.

Common Errors

• If you get contract call revert exception errors, check to make sure metamask is connected to the correct network. (xdai / mainnet? for prod... localhost:8545 for dev)

Concerns

• I am concerned that random colors as the only attribute is not discernable enough. A user will not be able to immediately identify that a tape is "cool" unless by random chance that it gets a lot of the same colors. Its not really easy to quickly parse and tell a rare tape apart, especially for someone who does not do research into looking at the value. For that reason, it might be a better idea to have the visual characteristics be something more defining -- like a sticker on the label. Similar to how CryptoPunks have pipes, or glasses, etc. Its easy to see right away. Maybe: "shiny screws" or "rainbow tape" or something like that. I think as a V1 I might just stick with colors though

• different levels of colors "rare colors" "common colors" etc

• different animations of tape, some buttons to show different animations

• Concerns with the contract. Nothing is stored on chain -- do people care about that? See DOM tweet about how NFTs are really just owning a collection of data, which this is.

• Concerns about capacity not "truly" being a capcity. You could add a million songs to the metadata field for all I care... the capacity isn't actually imposing a constraint on the capacity of what is "stored" but it does impose a capcity on what is pulled through to the dapp. Makes you ask a somewhat philisophical question about NFTs -- what actually is the NFT? What sort of role does the dapp play in what you own? Sort of useless outside of the dapp (just a bundle of stats... completely arbitrary outside of the dapp)

Current

• better all tapes browser (one screen... true SPA)

Todo

• figure out tape attributes

Serious Todos

• opensea integration
• my tapes
• about
• better defaults in stats
• better stats (color rarity?)
• actually implement capacity (low priority for now)

Notes

Need to run yarn rw prisma generate when changes are made to prisma config (changing db path etc) should we run a script to do everything for us?

• deploy contracts
• gather contract addresses
• move contract addresses to client file
• move abis to client file
• clear the old database
• re seed the database
• ???

Figure out if theres any weirdness going on with the spotify API? Seems like they switched permissions
