Hello!

I’m happy to report today that the Zeme Team react app is finished! All the major sections and functionality have been coded and are working well. Now we need your help to test ZT out and find any final bugs.

Feel free to test out the react app at the link below. Please note that all data will be deleted prior to going live. So expect that your work will be lost. Only use it for test purposes right now.

All code can be viewed here

If you find any bugs, please post them to the GitHub link above.

Thank you!

Just a head up for those testing the react app. We found a bug today when attempting to upload images over 5MB. We’re working through it.

More details here:

I think discord is standard 6MB limit. I assume for performance reasons but idk

Worst case scenario we’ll need to set a 5MB limit. :frowning:

I’m going to keep digging into it.

Try resizing/compressing it with canvas before upload.

Going to give that a try. Thanks.

image-compressor/image-compressor.js at master · powerbot15/image-compressor · GitHub this lib will probably be fine.

It only appears to support jpg/png. No support for gifs. :frowning:

Doing this stuff in the browser is a bad idea always, IMO (especially phone performance of which > 50% of traffic on the internet is these days).

I recommend Serverless Image Handler | Implementations | AWS Solutions.

I agree. I actually decided to move away from Vercel and host the app on Heroku. Heroku doesn’t have any payload limits. Problem solved.

That’s the right idea. Vercel is only decent as a static front-end. Heroku api talking to your client is a nice, cheap, flexible stack.

Hey all,

It has been a blast working on ZT over the past few months. We’re officially launching tomorrow and giving the Zcash community another way to earn shielded Zcash.

Huge shout out to ZOMG for making this project possible. We really appreciate it! :heart:

Really looking forward to tomorrow. Please consider supporting artists on ZT by sending them tips / tweeting their work. A community of giving goes a long way!

:beers:

Cool website!

How about checking in with ECC or ZF to see if they want to add this to a directory of Zcash related projects on their sites?

Congratulations on the successful website launch!

It’s good that it seems to have attracted attention, unfortunately not all of it good. Looks like some old fashioned trolls noticed too.

I saw your tweet that you will have to manually review submissions from here forward. Would you say that this was expected as part of running such an open platform?

Thanks! Great idea. I’ll reach out to them.

Thank you!

All in all about 90% of the content posted has been positive and on-topic. The other 10% seems to have come from a coordinated effort from the Monero community. A handful of people caused most of the trouble. Everyone else has been fantastic.

We definitely expected to see spam/offensive material on ZT. We setup the system so that every post goes through Amazon Rekognition to scan for nudity/violence/etc prior to displaying publicly. That worked well and prevented a few posts with nudity/violence from displaying.

We underestimated how many off-topic posts would be created from other communities, especially misinformation that was attempting to misrepresent Zcash. Using machine learning to catch theses types of posts doesn’t work very well. So for the time being, we decided to manually approve each post before it goes live.

The #1 goal for us is to keep ZT a safe place to browse and for the community to represent Zcash as accurately as it can. After a bit of a bumpy start, I believe we’re on the right path.
