Since last year we have established the work plan for GUI project, we have achieved a phased success so far. This project is vital for Causevest; we wish to build a fantastic wallet for XCV holders. It should be users friendly, secure, easy to operate and functional. To aim in hitting our target, we draft the requirement specification document to explain our demands in detail from varied aspects.
After we published our advert, we arranged several interviews and recruited the suitable developer’s team for GUI project. The team has comprehensive experience in developing of crypto wallet so that we have high expectation for them to deliver our project in good quality.
Starting of the project from communication with us, developers have obtained our viewings and begin to draft the wireframe diagrams. we have settled the final version of wireframe through several rounds of revision to confirm all essential parts are in place.
The next step, and what we are now that is the UI design. After several rounds of negotiation and modification, we finally got a homepage that is more in line with our expectations on display, colour theme and primary functions. They are undertaking the construction of remaining pages design after receiving our checking feedback, nearly completing all initial designs. We will ensure all essential features are there as the first stage and then will turn to our attention on functionality and users’ experiences in next stage.
We look forward to moving on the next step development very soon.
GUI / CLI work is progressing smoothly. Major updates have been made to the CLI to make sure it integrates smoothly with the GUI and the GUI itself has begun to resemble the screens shown above. Currently, you can create an account, set your password and see your balance. Soon you will be able to stake and send your coins as well,
GUI update:
*Work on causes, cause creation and cause voting has been started
*Vaults are continuing to be developed
*Bug fixes and other general improvements
Lots of work has been done on the GUI and we are moving towards our alpha release! Notifications and transaction history are being cleaned up and ready to go. Vaults, voting, causes, and nominees are implemented. We’ll be releasing something this year.
We’ve built the API server for interfacing with the GUI and our other products. The GUI can now pull the XCV Price and some price history via the API to allow you to see the current price without having to look it up. With luck, we’ll get through the final features rapidly so testnet is coming soon.
Yes, we have had some trouble with the Electron GUI. It appears the old developer used a lot of deprecated packages and then disappeared when they full went out of date. Unfortunately this left the GUI in a non-functional state. We have found a new developer to fix the issues, but there is a lot and work is slow going. We hope to have the Electron GUI working after the CLI testnet, although parts of it work now.
In better news, we have begun work on a GUI written in Flutter/Dart instead of Javascript/Electron. We believe this path will lead to a more stable GUI that won’t have as many backend issues as our previous Electron GUI. Work has already begun and we’re making progress getting in internals in order.
Stay tuned for the CLI testnet and a GUI testnets in the near future.
