Stream-Framework VS metamask-extension

I have looked into a getstream.io integration, however it seems that the Ruby SDK is really treated as a second class citizen. There's bugs with the documented API (I'm having issues even creating users and querying users), the usage of the gem is low and there is an open issue since May that no one has even looked at, which doesn't give me hope for long term support.

An ultralight social media app with no dependencies that can run on shared web hosting. It's an API like Getstream, so F/E is up to you. I've had a fork of it in production for 2.5 years on a subscription site that generates a small income.

Now, I'm seeking your advice and opinions. If you have experience using Stream or MirrorFly for chat implementation, I'd greatly appreciate any insights you can provide. Here are some questions I have:

Think about the edge that you can have over thousands other people looking for a job like you. One of the ways to do it – tailor your (even small) experience to the company you are applying to. E.g. Let's take a company like Stream that have an open-source Swift SDK, try to contribute to their SDK, maybe close some `good-first-issue`s here and there, do some documentation improvements, enrich their example app. So that when you feel like you are ready to knock their door – you already have an edge over others – you don't need onboarding (because you already know most of their codebase, you even completed your first few tasks while yet not being employed!)

This is absolutely absurd. I mean I 100% believe it happens, it's just absurd that the Tier 1 admin bot is this bad.

I too firmly believe the tier 1 admins are just this program - https://getstream.io/ And reddit doesn't want to admit that humans are not actually reviewing things

Really depends on so many variables, and comes down to knowing the audience. I built a lightweight social network api platform to do a lot of what getstream.io and OSSN does, but the way users engaged with it was nothing like what I expected. One use case, for example, would have been mostly satisfied with WordPress and Mailchimp. Forums are very familiar to people and still used by a lot of "I don't do social media" types. At the risk of making a sweeping generalization, if you have an older target audience they will be happy with a forum. If you have a younger target audience they will prefer the sequential post / react style of interacting, like Discord or Instagram.

Have an Ethereum wallet, preferably Metamask installed.

A  Metamask Account.

Plenty of projects are source-available, but not open source, and get tons of issues, and even contributions (https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension off the top of my head)

You can create an attestation based on an existing schema or create your own. Schemas define the format in which attestations will be made, and in this case, we will use the Is Human schema to attest that the owner of a certain address is human. For this example, you only need to connect your Metamask wallet (or any wallet) to Scroll Sepolia, then enter the address you want to attest and click Make attestation. You can choose whether you want the off-chain attestation, i.e., free, obtained only by signing a transaction. Alternatively, you can choose to make it on-chain and pay for the transaction to make it public and connect it to smart contract logic. In this case, you will need to obtain funds in Scroll Sepolia through a Scroll Sepolia Faucet.

Metamask (9000 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension

For this tutorial you will need Metamask or other wallet of your choice, with Scroll Sepolia funds that you can get from a Sepolia faucet and then bridge them to L2 using the Scroll Sepolia bridge. Alternatively, you can use a Scroll Sepolia Faucet to get funds directly on L2.

16) Open Metamask app. In this instruction we will use Metamask extension for Chrome browser.

> I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads.

uBO is typically ready in a fraction of second, so "3-5 sec" is not normal. In Firefox all extensions sit in the same process, so it's possible another extension is preventing uBO to be ready in a timely manner, this has happened[1].
