S5 Progress Report (December)
What progress was made on your grant this month?
-
The designer has been busy working on different components, concepts/views and utilities for the Vup Web UI, while I gave some feedback. Vup Web is slightly behind schedule now, but should finally get a nice MVP ready this month with all basic file management features working
-
Bluesky now has over 26M users which also resulted in significantly more load on my feed infrastructure and kept me quite busy putting out fires. So this month I built a new powerful open-source indexer in Rust to keep up with the network growth and have less issues in the future. The new indexer will also play a crucial role in bridging the AT Protocol and Bluesky data and media over to the S5 protocol as part of the archiver milestone planned later in 2025 for this grant
-
Attended the 38th Chaos Communication Congress and had some interesting discussions there around S5, the AT Protocol and other projects building decentralized protocols and networks

What will you be working on next?
-
Use the first finished design components to build the Vup Web UI with all basic features implemented and working
-
Continue working on the S5 TS/JS library and implementing all v1 specs
-
Design a landing page for the S5 protocol which gives a quick overview over which features are possible with S5 v1 and onboards developers to use it in their project (to be deployed on https://s5.pro)
