JJOptimist's Builder Journey

[JJOptimist]

Gm! I am a web3 dev from Serbia looking to create something useful for the Gno community. I am currently diving into Gno space and exploring solutions made by previous contributors.

Here's an update on the stuff I did for the first week:

• Explored Gno.land’s GitHub repositories, focusing on issues, PRs, and previous contributors' journeys to gain a better understanding of the ecosystem and its active development.
• Experimented with GRC20 to get a better understanding of how it works underneath

My plans for the next week are:

• Experiment with GRC721
• Do the final touches and finish my homerealm
• Start building a decentralized event ticketing system leveraging GRC721 for ticket creation and management, integrated with a Telegram Mini App for mobile accessibility and ease of use.

I explored Gno.land’s GitHub repositories, focusing on issues, pull requests, and previous contributors' work to gain a better understanding. I worked on my homerealm and after pushing it for review I have a good feedback on what to improve.

What will I focus on this week?
I will continue working on my homerealm, resolving existing issues and adding new, interesting features. I plan to experiment with GRC721 to strengthen my understanding of it. I’ll also revisit the awesome-gno repository to improve my fundamentals. Once I feel more confident, I’ll return to my event ticketing project, refining its foundation and focusing on using GRC721 for ticket creation and management. Additionally, I aim to contribute by trying to resolve an issue in gnoweb.

My initial contribution began with creating a home realm, where I received valuable feedback. This feedback has helped me understand better practices for code quality, and I'm actively working on implementing these improvements.

Building on this experience, I've developed an NFT-based event ticketing system (PR #3509). This system leverages the GRC721 standard to create a decentralized solution for event management. Users can create events with customizable parameters such as name, description, date, and ticket capacity. The system handles GNOT payments for ticket purchases, automatically minting NFT tickets to buyers' addresses. A web interface provides easy access to view available events and their details.

Through this development process, I've gained significant insights into:

• Implementing GRC721 standards in Gno
• Writing comprehensive test suites
• Handling blockchain transactions and payments
• Working with Gno's CI/CD pipeline

Currently, I'm focusing on improving the test coverage and resolving CI issues in the eventix and my home realm. I am also looking to explore issue #3482 .
