Blockstack is now simply @Stacks, independent entities and developers building the next internet on Bitcoin.
The company that built the public infrastructure is now @HiroSystems, focusing narrowly on developer tools.
A clean separation for new chapter.
Stacks 2.0 is now feature complete.
First GitHub commit: Nov 2018. 646,072 insertions and 372,395 deletions later, we’re ready!
We have 30 days for further testing.

After 12 months, @blocksurvey is on PH today. Thanks to @pjrvs for hunting us. It started from a hackathon in 2019 and now has 500+ members across the world. An alternative to Google Forms with a focus on privacy. Give it a try and share your feedback.

This is cool, but may gain more traction if adapted to be a frontend for smart contracts.
Reason: many smart contracts do accept arguments, but current block explorers don't have a great UX for inputting them.
So this could make crypto more accessible.

Are you a web developer interested in building tools that make the protocol easier to interact with? Are you interested in increasing decentralization, data resiliency, and data portability?
