Hello! As you know, in our subreddit we share our experience in e-commerce and blockchain with our community, and cover recent news about our development process. These articles are prepared by the CTO of Storiqa, and cover our accomplishments of the week and further plans.

Previous articles: 1,2,3,4

This week our backend efforts were split in several directions:

• Stabilizing deployed microservices for alpha release

• Starting new features for the next release, i.e. order processing and crypto payment processing solutions

• Researching new blockchain solutions for payments and smart contracts. Ideally, we’d like to get off Ethereum, because it has several inconveniences such as volatile and often very high transaction fees, the necessity to hold both STQ and Ether (for gas tx fees) in order to make transactions with STQ and low performance in terms of transactions per second

On the frontend side of things, we’re making good progress on finalizing the home page and search page.

We expect to finish those by the end of the next week, and then roll out an alpha version of the app.

Stay tuned!

Hello! As you know, in our subreddit we share with you our experience in e-commerce and blockchain and cover recent news about the development process. The article prepared by CTO of Storiqa is about our accomplishments of the week and further plans.

Previous articles: 1,2,3

This week we’ve finished backend in terms of features for alpha release, now we’re covering everything with tests and closing tech debt.

Also, we finished getting CI up and running and deployed frontend and backend to the testing environment on remote servers.

For the frontend part, we finished the admin panel for alpha release, tuned the production build and now focused on delivering home page and search page.

So the big plan for the next week is to roll out an alpha release.

Our main focus will be:

• Backend - cover everything with tests, close tech debt

• Frontend - finish the scope for alpha release (that’s most probably will take two weeks, but we’ll try to finish it in one week).

Stay tuned!

This week we’ve been continuing development features for our next release; orders and billing on the backend and the like. We’ve also almost finished the continuous delivery setup and stabilized server infrastructure.

Alpha version is now rolled out and next week we’ll be focusing on design cleanup, and fixing any bugs / glitches on the frontend.

Blockchain-wise, we tried out the Exonum framework by creating a simple trial blockchain with Ethereum-style payments. We then had a call with the Exonum team to discuss some technical details and any potential collaboration on Storiqa’s blockchain development.

Stay tuned!

I know people have issues with HitBtc. I personally have not. I keep things fairly locked down and make sure to take my time when it comes to transferring coins, placing buy orders etc.

Either way, this is big because any new coin that goes onto HitBtc pumps for a short time. So, would be a great time to get some gains while still HODL’ing a very good amount.

This week we were focused on clearing up some issues with data migrations on the backend as well as added some features for making frontend work nice. We also accomplished a setup of several clusters for development (stable / nightly) and user acceptance testing (stage). This clusters are currently working fully with CI / CD, so one of the key focuses now is to get a good test coverage so that environments don’t regress with introduction of new features.

On the frontend, we have almost finished with cleaning up the look of the web app and already started doing some features like multi-language support for the next release. Our research efforts this week was focused primarily on billing, as this is the tricky part where we need to adjust the balance between doing the whole billing system in-house or using smth already built at a reasonable cost that we could roll out billing in a reasonable time.

Hello! As you know, in our subreddit we want to share with you our experience in e-commerce and blockchain and our views of development. It’s the third article in the heading "Intro to Storiqa’s backstage". The first articles you can find here and here.

Our developers are making great progress with the scheduled release of our alpha platform.

The main features we’ve focused on are;

• authentication/authorization

• stores and products management

• search products by various attributes; name, price range, size, colour, etc.

• product grouping by category

• multi-lingual support

• basic cart

This week, our dev team finalized the alpha version of our mobile wallet app. We officially have the key basic functions up and running, such as;

• import/create wallet, protected by pin code

• generate QR code for STQ payment of any specific amount to a personal wallet

• scan QR code and pay, using private pin code

Some screenshots: 1, 2, 3

And we’re close to finishing the backend features - we plan to complete it by next week, giving ourselves several weeks for testing and improving.

Frontend now has complete authorization flow, and we’re almost done with the store admin panel. Next week, we’ll start polishing up our front page with search, products, stores, etc.

Stay tuned!

We continue covering our product development process. Here are new updates.

This week we’re focused on adding tests on backend and developing new features with carts / orders / billing flow. On the devops side, we are enhancing our flow between different clusters deployments to make it fully automatic and regression-safe.

On the frontend we’re adding some small features like loaders, errors, alerts etc. and moving further with developing features like cart. For the billing we’re in process of getting all the necessary licenses, in the meantime we plan to use 3rd party providers to make payments working as soon as possible.

About all billing issues you can learn more in further releases. Keep calm and stay with Storiqa.

Hello! As you know, in our subreddit we want to share with you our experience in e-commerce and blockchain and our views of development. It’s a second article in the heading «Intro to Storiqa’s backstage». The first article you can find here.

Since the end of NY holidays, we were concentrated on searching team members. After a long headhunting, we finally have found strong developers. We were joined by the backend developers who are specialized in Rust and the front developers who are dealing with React / React Native. Now we can confidently state that the technical part of Storiqa’s team is fully packed.

What was done?

• At the moment we have completely finished work concerning the possibility of selling goods in the demo product. At the same time, we are actively working on the main product.

• We have completed the development of a microservice, which manages the users of the system. It is based on JWT tokens, supports authentication via OAuth.

• Additionally support for Facebook and Google was implemented. The plans include adding a KYC partition to this microservice in order to verify the identity of the user when withdrawing funds.

What is next from now?

The next thing we plan to start is the microservices that are responsible for managing and creating stores, filling them with goods, managing delivery, guarantee, return and much more. This will allow us to implement the current functionality of the product demo and start connecting new stores to our platform in parallel with further product development.

Stay tuned!

The Storiqa development team

Hello, friends! Our tokensale is going into full swing, but despite this we are actively engaged in the development of the product itself.

At the moment, we have decided on the architecture of the product and the technological stack. We made our choice on the microservice architecture, which will allow us to develop separate micro services independently of each other, as well as will make it possible in the future to easily scale the product depending on the load.

As the main language, we chose Rust - it's a compiled and speedy language.

As for the main database, we will use this PostgreSQL. All microservices we will keep in docker containers, orchestrating them will deal with Kubernetes.

For caching and message delivery, we use Redis, Kafka. At the moment we have started developing micro services that will be responsible for managing users in the system, managing stores, as well as GraphQL servers.

We plan to complete this stage of work by the new year.

For the frontend part, we use react and server rendering in order to provide the best SEO for stores and merchandise.

Also, we are actively engaged in the possibility of paying for goods with cryptocurrencies in the current demo product, so that you can order cool goods in Storiqa shop this month.

Friends, we will continue to share with you information about the progress of work, about what is done and what we do. Thank you for being with us.

Storiqa aims to create a quick-to-setup marketplace for SMEs with minimal financial borders and global transactional fees. Multicurrency payment solution helps to facilitate the last option. Storiqa Wallet is a mobile application through which clients can make payment both in cryptos (e.g. BTC, ETH, LTC) and fiat (e.g. USA dollar, euro).

Storiqa Wallet is:

• Allocating budget among a few currencies simultaneously for sellers: convert crypto to fiat and vice versa.

• Cross-border payments for shoppers: purchase a product from any country without thinking of crypto and fiat currencies converting.

All these multicurrency transactions are conducted smoothly and orderly in the application due to lean business processes between banks and crypto exchanges behind.

What’s next?
At a later stage, Storiqa Wallet will be used outside the marketplace ecosystem. It means that paying for coffee with crypto is not a vague idea. Apple has already successfully applied NFC technology for ApplePay. Implementing NFC in Storiqa wallet allows using this multicurrency solution for any payment.

Legal part

EMI (Electronic Money Institution) license assures secure and legal business processes. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) document is an inevitable step before getting the license. Both they confirm operations in the legal field.

Yesterday we conducted our second rust meetup. We get together developers who are experienced or keen on rust.

Speaker Konstantin Gribov gave a presentation about using Rust in microcontrollers and embedded systems. As part of the presentation, he showed how to write a simple program that does LED blinking in ARM Cortex-M microcontroller.

We intend to organize such meetings on regular bases. If we see the interest toward such meetings we will be ready make live stream with international speakers. In case you are interested, please contact [email protected].

We continue covering our product development process. Here are new updates.

These two weeks we were closing some tech debt both on the frontend and backend. We’re almost finished with the Cart feature and now there are some minor things that need to be improved. We're also close to shipping the store creation wizard and alerts.

On the backend, we were also working on Cart and continue working on orders and billing. we're almost done with basic warehouse service and continue developing and stabilizing other features.

Each task involves challenges and it sometimes implies tedious work. We have already accomplished enormous scope but we still have a lot do. We move according to our roadmap and try to vail each stage of product development.

Stay with Storiqa!
