Good Hacktoberfest 2024

· 2 min read

Hacktoberfest 2024 is over so here's what I did:

  • Added search function, keywords and front matter to 67 pages on https://learn.xx.network/. Usability, SEO, etc.
  • Repurposed existing sample code for Kusama to create token-gated site for xx coins which can help anyone who wants to build toke-gated sites. Note that this works only for xx coin, but assets aka NFTs on xx chain would need additional work as asset (NFT) lookups are more complicated.
  • Published two simple PoCs for Haven-Tribler integration
    • one runs Haven in a Tribler chat frame (I tagged it "v1.0") - more secure, but less convenient (as always...)
    • another runs Tribler in a Haven iFrame ("v2.0")
    • both can be found here and there's a blog post about the motivation, use cases and approaches
  • Published a toy extension for Firefox - see the Tribler-with-Haven blog post for more, and a screenshot is below.
  • Updated User and Admin guides to xx Network Haven

Apart from the "common good" contributions (xx Network Learn, etc), the rest was centered around exploring Haven integrations with Tribler.

This screenshot sums it all up - Tribler in Haven iFrame (aka my "v2.0") - and the toy Firefox extension in action!

Firefox extension to ease download in Haven-Tribler environment

  • Find a Magnet link in a Haven space
  • Select the link, right-click on it and use the Firefox extension download it from Tribler
  • Watch download progress without switching to other (browser) tabs or windows

If you use a non-Mozilla browser you can copy the link and add it to Tribler as usual.

I haven't had time to do a Chromium-based extension yet.
