OpenSource as always.
I decided to participate in a Polygon's hackathon and build something that is totally free, with no gas fees and more importantly doesn't alienate non-crypto folks.
The platform is called FutureTickets.xyz and you can claim a ticket here -> https://futuretickets.xyz/e/your-first-nft-ticket_91nox70YHN to experience the flow (you don't even need a wallet!).
If you want to post a new event, I would be thrilled as I am looking for more feedback, just send me a DM to enable your account.
A walkthrough of the platform is here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21IE5Tmh-nM
I used: Python (Flask), AlpineJS (should have used Vue or React), TailwindCSS, Solidity and hardhat.
Our clients were involved since day 0 (which I think is the key of our success btw). The first prototype (built in two days) was in Erlang using Mnesia.
The drawbacks are: + not having lots of engineers knowing C and Erlang + Outsiders having problem with LISP (that's why we implemented PIG)
We tried to find something that was fast, cheap to scale (in terms of servers) and easy to extend but we couldn't find any other solutions. The problem is having everything in memory and doing correlations really fast.
If you make an account - it's free -http://www.bugsense.com/signup/ you can see the UI. It's pretty cool!
