By: Belinda Noakes

You're looking at some words on a white screen, but these words actually represent a series of notable firsts.

This is the first blog post that uses humm as its publication channel. humm is the first fully distributed publishing platform, ever. And humm is the first community-developed Holochain-based hApp to go live.

The News: New Ideas, a New Face & a New Job Opening

By: Nick Mitchell

Let's talk about time

We're faced with an interesting conundrum while trying to roadmap, design, plan and develop humm: the technology platform we're building on isn't finished yet.

In fact, Holochain is still in pretty early stages of development.

What we're trying to build with humm will leverage both Holochain and the Holo hosting network, but we're trying to start while there are almost no technical specs and details of how the Holo network will work. In other words, it's like trying to assembl… Continue reading

Feeling a Little Rusty: DevCamp, Comments, and Rust Updates

By: Nick Mitchell


There have been a lot of developments in the past week in the larger Holochain community that we have had to digest and internalize here at humm.


Rust: A brand new Holochain?

We have been waiting excitedly for the release of the Rust refactor of Holochain so we could refactor our code base, and then add to it without increasing our future work every time we write a new line of code in the old Go-based Holochain. For the past couple of weeks we've prioritized work that would not add to our Go code… Continue reading
