That would be awesome to introduce the new way of working for dabbling devs, and make it easier for people to get started with browsing from a single download.
Excited for Thursday, and hope they’ll announce test 12b, though previously I seem to remember that with the tests there was usually 1 dev update saying the test results, then another week before the follow up test.
Edit: well, it definitely won’t be announced on Thursday… Wednesday is even better
As you may now have realised this was done for test 12b and unlikely to remain long term when hole punching doesn’t have the socket problem.
Although a seed node, especially the first node would still need uPNP or port forwarding if behind a NAT router since there is no network yet for hole punching to work.
This “hosting manager” seems like it would make a good natural connection point between the safe network and http. I still regard http support as something that safe will want to implement for the purpose of ubiquity.
Same with me. Stable vaults I believe will be a huge piece to the puzzle just based on the sheer time it has taken for this step of development. Thursday can’t come soon enough!
