# Notes 27.1.23

## POC Milestone 0.1

- Focus on Kusama only
- Wallet integration p.js / talisman / etc.
- Markdown editor -- link to how to use markdown text
  - Can be very longH
  - Nice experience 
- DB => MongoDB / Firestore
  - Firebase is like Google => makes us look bad 
  - Look for alternative => supabase??
- Hookup with the Frontend
- Xylo makes a user journey

## Storage

- **Decentralised:** Crust 
- **Centralised:** MongoDB

We should store centralised:

- Discussion
- JSON config for form
- Maybe profile??? (Foundation, in this case Kusama, Personal, Applicant)
  - Pull from polkadot wiki??? => this could be tricky 
- Determine other _data_ to store...
- How do we store drafts? Temporary with redis or centralized in a DB?


### Decentralized

#### Pros

- Blockchain ethos ⛓️
- Transparency

#### Cons

- Need tokens to do extrinsics (crust?)

### Centralized

#### Pros

- Move fast

#### Cons

- Migrate some data eventually 
  - Pull data from DB and then push on-chain
  - Create script and do extensive testing before pushing extrinsic 

## NFTs

- we are not deciding on an nft standard yet 
- Need to make our own custom NFT~thingy? 

## Form-builder customization

ℹ️ Not for early releases of POC as we focus on Kusama _only_ right now.

- json config
  - GitHub for foundations to make PRs for their own flows
  - Generic "template" and README.md to help foundations
