Hey everyone,
Today we started real-world testing of the program. It went really well, just a few small bugs to fix and functions to simplify as much as possible. Let’s say we’re 99% there. We should be in beta really soon. So very close to publishing the code.
We also need to continue work on the server version. I’m out of Raspberry Pi units. I’ll try to find a used one because unfortunately the NovaFuture budget is really tight.
So we continue testing… we continue setting up the project… and as soon as everything is 100% okay, we launch.
I code. I hunt bugs. I exterminate trolls. And I love novaFuture <32

Wow! What a huge day… On my end, I spent the whole day coding on the project… We made some serious progress with massive improvements that weren’t even planned. But it’s totally worth putting in the extra time. If we can keep up this pace for a few more days, we can release something truly amazing. Seriously!
I was skeptical at first… but now that I see the potential… I’m fully motivated. Emmanuel told me he knows an awesome graphic designer to create the logo… I haven’t heard back from him yet… but it’s clear we’ll all chip in to get a top-notch logo done by a pro. I agree with you —> everything needs to be 100% flawless for the launch.
We were planning to release an alpha just to showcase the concept… No way! We’re going straight to a functional beta. That’s the best way to get the world excited.

Even more major improvements today that were not planned like adding the mini firewall. Now we need to focus hard on SSH management and maximum security. If everything goes well tomorrow, we should have something functional. The code is really piling up, but it is coming together fast. Seriously, if it all works tomorrow, we can start tackling usability and installation. Still no word from the graphic designer about the logo? Let me know in DM.

Holy shit, it finally works! We’ve got ourselves a killer engine The code is rock solid no more bugs. Let’s stick with what’s working keep it simple, brutally efficient, and nail the UX. Tested on XFCE flawless but notifications are missing. No need to overcomplicate things we’ll just use notify send and call it a day. Still need to test on Fedora, though. We’ve talked about this before, but yeah, let’s push back the release. The heavy lifting is done, and with a little more time, we can drop a polished solution in a few days. So let’s grind hard now and throw a massive party after. Sound good, dudes?

I never say no to a party 🙂 It’s true that the hardest part is done. But after the code, there’s still all the documentation to write. We also need to create a website, but that’s where I draw the line. We’re all exhausted. So we’ll just make a page on NovaFuture and point the domain there. This is a 100% open-source project. Once the software is finished, we’ll have accomplished our mission. So if someone serious wants to take the project further, we’ll hand over the domain. Because I think we shouldn’t spread ourselves too thin. Even today, I improved some code on NF. With WP, it never ends!!!
At some point, when there are more of us, we’ll need to roll up our sleeves and switch to a full fork. But for now, we need to focus on both growing NF and Peerbox. Tomorrow evening, after a long day of coding, things will be much clearer. In the meantime, let’s stay motivated 🙂

I never say no to a great party either! Peerbox will be a wonderful Christmas gift for the community. That’s awesome! Do you have any updates on the Peerbox logo creation?
