plutus-use-cases VS plutus-starter

Not sure if you are familiar with these repos Plutus Apps and Plutus use-cases . I am not a developer so not sure how much this would help to get up to speed, but there are examples there. Regarding Solidity compatibility Milkomeda is doing a better job than KEVM.

Something like this? https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-use-cases

The closest I can think of is the Plutus use cases examples , maybe it will help you

Yes, you are correct smart contracts will be necessary for that, however I have nor seen any examples yet, but I found this in the Plutus use cases repo, might help you

This is pretty bad advice - you might not need a node to write dapps, but you'll sure as hell want a local Plutus dev environment for the smoothest experience. Take it from someone with an M1 - the setup process is a pain, compile times are poor, and it'll be difficult to get your language server up and running for proper syntax highlighting. Some repos like https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-starter don't seem to work even when Nix is configured to run it on Rosetta 2. Like the other commenter, I've resigned myself to ssh tunneling into a development Linux NUC, which has its own annoyances.

This what you wanted? https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-starter

I love how the Cardano devs are making Plutus Dev Env as easy as possible to install and use. Just install Docker on your OS and:

Feel free to check the Cardano starter example project on Github
