This is my first journal entry so HERE WE GO. (h/t Inspired by mona, <redacted>, <sudoRedacted> to begin, thank you for being my friends and caring for me.)

I will try to journal my thoughts through out the day (but not overdo it) as I share and document my learnings throughout Light, which is the product/company I’m working on. Expect more todos or strategy like learnings, and as an open-source maxi, this journal as well, is open source.

Preface: I am probably in one of the hardest periods of my life.

However, I know if this dude were me, he would be able to power through this entire situation and flip it entirely on its head. So, which leads me to the conclusion that I have to be better (and not get ridiculed for running in 0.7km increments.)

Light Progress

DAG Implementation

I managed to put together something here for the initial DAG implementation of the Light Layer. This is the the core feature of our protocol, since users will programmatically be able to define arbitrary cross-chain transactions. I should probably write this in a separate blog, but basically what it does is the below:

Create a DAG of transactions (2 or more)

Specify conditions such as fallbacks, on-chain calls

Execute accordingly tailoring to the user’s preferences

Transaction graphs enable one click transactions w/ fallback and conditionals.

Tomorrow

Finish the new implementation of the landing page w/ designer

Work on the DAG on frontend, backend + node (transcends all typescript, rust + solidity lol)

Video of the day

Have yet to watch the whole thing, but the Eric Schmidt talk seems really good, for example like the excerpt this. I’m such in a distant place from making this work - world players giving their best year of lives to a common cause - but scenes like this make me feel like <REDACTED>, and can potentially come together online through open source (even as a team)

Github PR of the day

feat: ini quote bookmark by shunkakinoki · Pull Request #355 · shunkakinoki/shunkakinoki.com

From:https://github.com/shunkakinoki/shunkakinoki.com/pull/355

Have to say, but Notion feels extremely OP as a CMS, compared to others [1], especially w/ the launch of Notion Charts [1], [2]. Having my custom renderer is a total MOG compared to having to pay $8 x 2 for some random markdown renderer. (especially if using sane things like sub-par plugins!)

p.s. Notion’s product landing page is really good, they have like 8 products bundled together as one - really sets the bar for a consumer facing product.
