Hello awesome Bitshares community. Today I propose a worker to create a new and fresh website/front-end for the Bitshares blockchain.
Who Am I?I am a full stack React Developer. I love JavaScript, Node.JS, React, Ant.design, and more libraries. I have done work for the Steem blockchain (un-official work, such as Busy.org). I have been programming since 6 years ago. I started off this HTML and CSS, and then into PHP, and MySQL. I dabbled into a bit of Angular, until I found the best language and library: React and JavaScript.
I've also been a user of cryptocurrencies for years now. I came onto Steem and Bitshares around 10 months ago. I have run a witness node for Steem as well.
Why A New Website? Why not help the current one?While I plan on still helping the current bitshares-ui team, I also feel a fresh new start, and look on things, can in turn create another great and useful website. I am making a sleek, easy to use, user interface.
Have I started? How long will it take? What about updates?I have started, I have a github repository here:
https://github.com/Kennybll/bitshares-site. There will be all the code I write. I plan on taking less than 2 months to create this site. I don't believe I'll go over, I'm hoping it will be a lot less of a time frame. Once the initial site is up and going, there might be bugs (as in anything). I will make another worker to continue patches and improvements. If you feel like I did a good job here, you can then approve that one.
Who will you work with? Why all alone?Well I'll work with any open source contributors, but I will work mainly alone (if no one else helps). Why this not a team? Well because for one the cost is down, two there is less communication needed to confirm and do different things, and three I will be able to use full imagination to create the best website for Bitshares.
Do you have a mockup, or preview?As I said above, I have started to work on the site.
https://i.imgur.com/GEWNGqu.png <- that is the login form (does nothing yet). Sadly I don't have any UI mockups to show other than that. I plan on using Github pages which'll host a preview once some dents have been made in progress.
Details?- 2500 BTS per day.
- I will try to work around 6-8 hours a day.
- I will take BTS not bitUSD, as I believe in Bitshares.
- I will put a worklog on this proposal post each week. If I do not work a lot that week, I work longer the next.
I'm hoping to get funding, but even without that I plan to continue this venture.
I look forward to working with the Bitshares community.
