Holochain Dev Pulse 95 — That might be a funny question to ask right now. If you’ve been reading the Dev Pulse for the last couple years, you probably already know what Holochain is. But for those of you who are new to Holochain, or who want to share it with your friends, we’ve just…

Holochain Dev Pulse 94 — As I pored over the most recent dev updates, I struggled to find a cohesive story to share. There’s no one thing I can point to and say “See, this is what’s happened since the last Dev Pulse.” Just a lot of small updates. And then I realised — that…

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, have suddenly become rather popular. I don’t exactly know why now is their time — maybe it’s because celebrities are beginning to sell them, or maybe it’s because recent price increases of BTC and ETH have given hodlers a lot of new money to play with…

Holochain Dev Pulse 93 — NOTE: Beginning this week, we’re trying something new with the Dev Pulse. We’re going to start publishing smaller pieces more regularly.

Work is now shifting back to core features, such as sharding the DHT. In the meantime, the Holo team is…

Holochain Dev Pulse 90 — Summary This week we decided to deploy Elemental Chat, the first Holochain app to be pushed out to all HoloPorts. This is an exciting week for us, and we hope you, our patient HoloPort owners, have fun with your first hApp! The Holochain developer documentation has been updated so that everything…

Holochain Dev Pulse 89 — Summary The big focus of the last couple weeks has been testing Holochain, by way of testing Elemental Chat on HoloPorts. We’ve narrowed down the scenarios where performance decreases, and we’re doubling down on making Holochain work well in those scenarios. I’ve also got a grab bag of news for developers…

Holochain Dev Pulse 88 — Summary The first Dev Pulse of the new year is going to be a short one. That’s not because nothing’s happening — in fact, it’s partly because there’s a lot going on, and I need to get back to it. Holochain RSM is growing up, and it’s time for both veteran…
