qD

Cross-Platform Trustless Social Network

Screenshot

In case you are experiencing connectivity issues, on the app you can try using different star node configurations in Settings > IPFS.

Description

qD is an example app for our JavaScript p2p library qOS with cool open source modules such as qD Messages and qD Social and the upcoming qD Vibes, qD Markets, qD News, qD Apps, qD Games and qD Calendar.

qD makes it possible to build custom, secure and decentralized social networks in less than 20 days.

Our quest network aims to allow the creation and (distributed) completion of quests supported by a feature rich decentralized social network.

0.9.5+ allow to connect qD Social profiles to Twitter without sharing information with Twitter as an additional layer of verification. It is planned to add passive verification for a custom list of external networks to verify the peer identities.

1.0.0+ complies with privacy regulations and can be used for confidential information as a production social network worldwide.

We have chosen Angular/Electron as an example environment because we believe it offers the best accessibility for developers coming from any other language/framework. The Quest Network is already being used in Python on PyQt5 and we aim to provide the underlying library in Go and wherever possible in Rust as well.

This app is built on qOS which makes use of the Interplanetary Filesystem, IPFS GossipSub and IPFS DAGs.

Look what other people have built with qD: Awesome Quest Network dApps!

qD allows to lazy load modules.

Security

Completion 1.0.0 EC AES

qOS uses 4096 Bit RSA-OAEP encryption, 256 Bit AES-CBC encryption and NIST P-521 EC signatures.

Development

Planning

See our Kanban for the development of 0.9.5, feel free to add or pick up features!

Prerequisites

1.)

Clone & Checkout essential repositories:

git clone https://github.com/QuestNetwork/qd-social-ts && git clone https://github.com/QuestNetwork/qd-messages-ts && git clone https://github.com/QuestNetwork/qD && cd qd-social-ts   && git checkout 0.9.4 && cd ..  &&  cd qd-messages-ts   && git checkout 0.9.4 && cd ..  &&  cd qD   && git checkout 0.9.4 && cd ..

OR

Clone & Checkout all repositories on the latest dev branch:

git clone https://github.com/QuestNetwork/qD && cd qD && git checkout 0.9.5-dev && npm run q-dev && cd ..

2.) Install Dependencies & Enter qD Repository:

cd quest-utilities-js && npm install && cd .. && cd quest-crypto-js && npm install && cd .. && cd quest-os-js && npm install && cd .. && cd qd-social-ts && npm run inst && cd .. && cd qd-messages-ts && npm run inst && cd .. && cd qD && npm run inst

Commands

Prepare Package

To The same directory you're cloning this repository to.

npm run inst Removes package-lock.json and runs npm install

Build For Linux

npm run linux Builds Linux AppImage and Snap files to dist/

Build For Mac

sed -i 's/"@questnetwork\/q-desk"/"q-desk"/g' package.json
&& npm run mac &&
sed -i  's/"q-desk"/"@questnetwork\/q-desk"/g'  package.json

Builds MacOS DMG and .app files to dist/ and dist/mac

Build For IPFS

ipfs daemon & npm run ipfs Creates the bundled application for the web with dynamic base path to dist/web

Build For Web

npm run web Creates the bundled application for the web with static base path / to dist/web

Serve For Web

npm run serve Serves the bundled application on localhost:4200 from dist/web

Serve For Web JIT

ng serve Serves a just in time compilation of the messenger on localhost:4200

Rest node_modules And Build For Web JIT

npm run serve-fresh Runs rm -rf node_modules && npm run inst && ng serve

Clear Watchlist

watch-reset Cleans the watch list, in case of System Limit error

IPFS Deploy

System Requirements: Memory 3.75GB Storage 6GB NodeJS 14 NPM 6 IPFS 0.6

ipfs daemon & npm run ipfs

ipfs pin add <CID>

If you have trouble getting the directory discovered by gateways, you can try ./ipfs-propagate.sh from the root of this repository. Keep in mind that the bundled web application is >14MB alone without assets, please be patient until we have a preloader.

We added an example swarm.json to the src/app folder with an example node to make reproduction easier, but we strongly recommend to use our Quest CLI to test and build the app.

Pro Tip: Put a file in your /bin that runs the quest-cli like so node /path/to/quest-cli/index.js from any folder on your system. It's much nicer!
