how

A tool for how the Holochain community comes to alignment about technical and social matters.

Background

In the world of Holochain DNAs the ecosystem needs a way to converge on technicial standards, including changes and feature additions to Holochain and it's HDK, classes of DNAs that meet specific needs, and technical community social processe like this one. This is similar to IETF RFC process, or the Ethereum Request for Comment (ERC) process that standardized for example, on ERC-20 for describing the behavior of tokens.

We want this process to maximize collective alignment both on specific needs but in relations to other emerging standards. Thus we propose the Holochain Emerging Standards protocol as embodied in this hApp.

npm run build:happ

Running the DNA tests

npm run test

UI

To test out the UI:
