Public Alpha was announced, what’s next?

Product-market fit

• Get the first module to run on Zinnia.
  • Find the first team to commit to build and ship their module for Zinnia.
  • Along the way, find out what APIs and other functionality they are missing, and build it.
• Get the first module to pay rewards to Station operators.
  • Without rewards, the entire proposition of Station is a kind of busted, isn’t it?
  • Can we (the Station as a deployment platform) take a cut from the rewards, to cover the costs of building & running this project?

Marketing

• Present Zinnia at the Mother of all demos in March (2022-03-17).
• Present Zinnia at EngRes AllHands spotlight (2022-03-09)
  • Caveat: I will be working from a different place, the internet connection can be unreliable sometimes. Maybe I can pre-record the video?
  • Miroslav to reach out to Misty
• Give a talk about Zinnia at IPFS Thing 2023 in April.
  • Maybe we can run a workshop too?
• Public hackathon in June - does this still make sense?

Developer Experience

• ✅Build binaries for each release #23 (Super important to do ASAP, IMO.)
• ✅ES Modules #43

Functionality & APIs

• p2p: stream response payload #56
  • Lift the current somewhat-arbitrarily-chosen response size limit of 10MB.
  • I will also learn more about rust-libp2p and Deno internals.
• ✅ Web Cryptography API #33
  • A low-hanging fruit - just expose the Deno implementation. 🤞🏻

Maintenance → ‣

• ✅ Upgrade Deno core & runtime to the new version released on Feb 25th.
  • They have reworked internals to use ESM, which is great for us too, but requires extra work on our side.
• ✅ Upgrade rust-libp2p to v0.51.0 released on Feb 24th.
• Clean up left-over TODOs from the sprint to Public Alpha.
