    This video will show you how to use Unlock Protocol to lock content. To unlock the video, you will need to sign up and purchase a free NFT above. Last stream (Day 76) was a bit rocky… I wanted to see how hard it was to get started from scratch. Installing the plugin and integrating … Continued

  • Preparing for Alpha Launch Pt II (Day 80) 1/31/22

    This episode we’re trying to close all of the issues before the alpha launch. The list is getting smaller. I don’t think we’ll finish on this episode, but we might be able to get pretty close. I was hoping to make this episode about contributing to the Unlock Protocol WordPress plugin– but I’ve run into … Continued

  • Preparing for Alpha Launch Pt I (Day 79) 1/26/22

    Last episode we went over how to do user testing for our upcoming alpha launch of v.0.0.10. I haven’t set a hard date, because it’s going to be a very soft launch. I will probably release it the first week of February, but I’m willing to delay if needed. This will be an ongoing series … Continued

  • We got the grant from Unlock Protocol! (Day 78) 1/24/22

    I’m stoked to announce that we received a grant from Unlock Protocol! A crypto grant to be exact, this is new! How it works, is that Unlock Protocol has their own cryptocurrency called UDT. The grant is deposited once per month over 12 months. Once we have shipped the product integrated with Unlock, we will … Continued

  • Unlock Protocol and Metamask (Day 77) 1/19/22

    Last stream (Day 76) was a bit rocky. I wanted to see how hard it was to get started from scratch. Installing the plugin and integrating it to the website was easy. The harder part was creating a lock, because I had never used Metamask before. The hardest part can be getting ETH, Matic, or … Continued

  • Getting Started with Unlock Protocol Integration (Day 76) 1/13/22

    Today we are going to hopefully integrate Unlock Protocol with Bonsai. Usually I spend quite a bit of time planning out my streams. Today is going to be a little different, because I want to come into it with as little as planning as possible. I want to test what the points of friction would … Continued

  • The Loop and Progress Update (Day 75) 1/5/22

    Yesterday’s stream was kind of a flop. My macbook was having some power issues, so it kept shutting down. It was a success, in that it got me closer to getting back into flow state while streaming. Which can be surprisingly difficult when you’re a bit rusty. Today I’m going to keep it shorter and … Continued

  • 2021 Review + Building Patreon for Web3 (Day 74) 1/4/22

    The fact that I’m itching just start working makes me want to take a pause. Because that’s what I would have done last year. I love working. I can just jump right in. But last year, I’m not sure that I really took the time to set any meaningful goals other than to just do … Continued

  • Day 72: Polishing v0.0.8 Pt III 4/14/21

    Continuing where we left off yesterday, we’re finalizing v0.0.8 of Bonsai. This version will be what I consider the first MVP. I mean, technically speaking, Bonsai was an MVP since day one. But this will be the first version I’m proud enough of to promote– or at least not ashamed of. I think it was … Continued

    I’m getting ready to roll out version 0.0.8 of Bonsai. It’s a laundry list of things to get it up and running as a fully functional prototype. Yesterday we made Circle.so compatible with Bonsai’s dark mode settings. This new version of Bonsai represents a big step. I think the biggest upgrade is that Bonsai now … Continued

  • Day 70: Circle.so Dark Mode (Custom CSS) 4/12/21

    Circle doesn’t offer dark mode yet, but if you have the Professional plan and you’re willing to copy paste a line of code, you’ll be able to have it. The one caveat is that it doesn’t give you a toggle within the app. Instead it listens to your operating system’s preferences. So whether you’re on … Continued
