Originally published by Patron#1 on Jan 11, 2022 at pint.network/t/introducing-glove/ Right off the bat, you may notice that we are now using the word "Vention" instead of "Invention". This was a decision made after realization of Patron#1 during a conversation, that the word has a connotation that is entirely counter to what PINT Network is purposed to be. We are sensitive to vocabulary for very crucial reasons, and this is evident from past publications. We cannot favor common words like "Creation" or "Product" for the same reasons. Therefore, what we have defined in PINT Elements as Invention, will now be formally called a Vention, and labelled as PINTvention for common use. Let us now introduce the self-identity of the first PINTvention.#Glove - the UXGlove is launched as a demo UI for early testers, and a presentation of its commitment towards clearly defined goals.Branding envelopes privacy, interactivity and distinctnessBrand copy presents freedom and libertyThe trust factor is clearly communicated through an easily accessible domain at glove.fyiThe state of project's resources is clearly communicated at glove.fyi/manifest#State of engineeringGlove is ground-up released by the prior engineering M.O., on defined principles. Following are facts defining the current state of Glove.UI is Web-based built with an MIT licensed view library, VueJS.Codebase is licensed as AGPL-3.0 and open-sourced.Code is not well-structured, and not really modular.UI is hosted on Skynet @ siasky.net.The codebase was made available on radicle (radicle.xyz) with Patron#1 as maintainer, however after testing it out, our impression is that at present, it is more collaboration-centric where there are enough peers actively working on the codebase. Therefore, we made the decision of temporarily co-hosting on GitHub for availability.#Near futureUI was built by Patron#1 through 2021, initiated well before PINT Network was conceived, and VueJS was favored given existing expertise. However, it will likely be ported to Svelte, because of the library's simplicity that is in-line with our principles. This will also be demonstrative, like we want everything to be, to set examples for not only newer development teams, but also for those willing to convert from closed ways to open ways of building and sustaining software.From now on, we can refer Glove with its name, and hand over the communication to its own aid. With more and more launches, PINT Network can evolve to smooth out this process of spirited product development. We do understand that excessive involvement of PINT Network in its name is anti-purpose, as it complicates the community development of the vention itself. Therefore, as we proceed to make progress, the ongoing role of PINT Network with its ventions, has to be further defined clearly, in context of its elements.https://web.archive.org/web/20221209152612/https://pint.network/t/introducing-glove/
