D.Buzz Weekly Development Update Report Vol.20


Hey crypto Bees,

What's new in the HIVE today? We got some really hip things going on over here at D.Buzz, and we are excited to share them with you in today's update.

It should be no surprise that we are currently working diligently to bring you D.Buzz >to> Twitter sharing. We were pretty close to rolling that out today in fact but upon final testing we realized it has some timeout issues with a 3rd party service provider, and this would've provided you, the users a unsatisfactory experience.

Instead of just rolling out a product that is not polished for the sake of getting it out, we decided to hold back and look for the solutions.

The current way we have our architecture set up, is a bit different from other web applications. As such we mad a mistake by rendering everything on the client side, while meta tags should be added / prerendered before being sent back to client, but our current architecture doesn't support that, this problem is common to client side applications, long solution would be converting our project to a server side rendered app but that would take time to convert, so right now our best move is to look for a more elegant shorter solution to get this feature live.

We are currently looking at three different potential solutions, and if they don't work, we will be taking a closer look at the longer solution of converting our project to a server-side render app (*we would like to avoid this longer solution).

That is where we are as of today, and with luck one of these three solutions will work and will have this feature live, shortly. (*fingers crossed).
