Speedtracer: 1 Month In
Today marks the 31st day of Speedtracer, my daily casual mobile game for people who are too dumb for Wordle. Speedtracer challenges users to trace a racetrack as quick as they can, without crashing. Tracks start off as algorithmically generated shapes, but they are also NFTs that grant the owner customization rights, so we’ve seen a lot of branded tracks in our first month. I’m particularly proud that I built a project that sits squarely in two of the scammiest and scummiest tech verticals an...

Go Speedtracer, Go!!!
Speedtracer is a fully onchain, longform generative art project. A Solidity algorithm outputs skeuomorphic motorsport racetrack artworks. A daily casual game uses the generated tracks, challenging users to trace the day’s track as quickly as they can. Track owners become stewards of the game, where they may edit the shape of their track, place signage around it, and earn yield from players who mint Race Result NFTs. This is my artist statement for Optimism Foundation’s We ❤️ The Art contest a...

PWA Push Notifcations for web3 apps
The successful launch of friend.tech instigated a new meta in the web3 discourse about Progressive Web Apps, with many commenters heralding the approach as the next big thing in crypto consumer applications. PWAs are not a new concept, but recent changes in the Apple ecosystem, combined with app store rules restricting the sale of virtual goods in native apps, have helped create a new opportunity for web3 apps that would benefit from native app features but would likely not be approved by app...

Crosschain Token Gated Minting
A common approach to generating attention for your NFT project is to grant holders of other projects some advantage in minting - an exclusive minting period or a cheaper price are some of the perks we often see. There are a couple of ways to implement this functionality and they all work just fine, most of them even in the crosschain context. Merkle trees and signed allowances are acceptable approaches, where the project owner gathers addresses who are allowlisted. Signed allowances are more ...
