Where I’m at

Working through mental models of a blockchain that is capable of handling large datasets, at scale, and with security. Basically it’s a direct counter to Chainlink’s oracle solution, instead of having an intermediary like Chainlink, you have your own data stored directly on chain.
Working through my personal crypto stuff, and working through some of the core functionality.
Working through my Javascript book study, and understanding more of it.

What I learnt

Symbols in Javascript… still have no idea what they useful for.
All primitive datatypes are immutable, and only objects are mutable.
- If you use a method like toUpperCase() that’s not mutating the primitive, but instead replacing it.

Worked through converting the “Svelte Wagmi” package from the old Svelte stores, to Svelte runes. It works well for the most part, it’s a pretty ugly conversion right now but it works. So we’ll come back to it and configure it properly. If it works really well, I might publish it as an upgrade of the current Svelte Wagmi package.

The content that I reviewed today was: Study Journal entry for 04-10-2023

This was when I starting out creating my mobile app:
- I did correctly deduct that I needed a debug console to test out functionality on a micro level, and in a way that was isolated from the context of the rest of the application.
- I was bashing my head against a wall not understanding custom claims properly as a way to give / revoke access to certain content / features.
- I had thought long and hard about a way to actually achieve it without knowing about custom claims properly, and so I created a unified matrix of controls. It’s pretty complicated but also was a useful thought experiment to consider how each user would see different content, etc. It would’ve been an incredibly complex system though.
- It does show how I was thinking about the entire system in a holistic way, and that I had tried to consider the different aspects of each part of the control system.
Also pointed out a things such as my own ADHD which makes it difficult to remember things. Another reason why this blog is so important.
