[Iter-X] 43/100days

Note: This article was translated for me by AI. I wrote the original in Chinese. I never use AI to write my articles, because that would cost me my own expression; my freedom to express myself is always the most valuable part of my work. So if you can read Chinese, I recommend reading the Chinese version, where you will get the most original and unfiltered version. That said, technological progress exists to give us more convenience, so I will continue using AI to translate my writing into multiple languages, allowing valuable content to reach more people.

Day4️⃣3️⃣

From the overall progress, it seems that we’ve only completed about 1/3 of the total, but I’m still quite confident that we’ll finish the rest in the next 50 days, so the whole process doesn’t seem to be linear. This is understandable; at the beginning, there are a lot of things to handle. After completing a few pages or APIs, many things can be reused, so the speed naturally picks up.

Today, I was looking into Bluesky’s ATProtocol. Although I had seen it before, I hadn’t carefully examined its technical architecture. After reading an article analyzing it, I started thinking about whether a decentralized blockchain social platform could become the next big trend. After all, the Web3 buzz has been going on for quite a while. But on second thought, our travel app could also explore this direction. Although it feels a bit like a tech utopia, if the app doesn’t really take off in the future, I would consider fully open-sourcing it and integrating ATProtocol or creating a custom decentralized travel protocol. In this case, the app would simply be an AppView, a display carrier, and the data would be mostly consensus-based on the blockchain. Users would own their own data, which could be a fun and innovative concept.

Last night, I recorded a screen capture of the current client situation. After doing a bit of hands-on work, I’m starting to get a feel for it. I look forward to recording another screen capture this week to share. Over the past few days, I’ve been receiving messages from new friends who are sharing or asking about features in the app. I’m happy to continuously receive private messages, and we actively consider many great suggestions. If you have any ideas, feel free to reach out to me for a chat.
