  • ​​Visualization 
  • ​​We need auditor tools that will visualize how the code fits together. In this category, you can develop tools that should give access to a variety of visualization techniques. Visual Editors, Auditor Extensions, and Documentation Generator are some of the visualization tools that our developer community need.
  • ​​Analysis and Coverage 
  • ​​Developers require tools that will provide immediate feedback on the issues during code development itself. Security tools, Static Analysis tools and Code Coverage are some of the tools for this category.
  • ​​Developer Efficiency
  • ​​Tools that improve code quality are essential in code development. Our community needs tools that will flag bugs, constructs, and stylistic errors that will make code easier to read and review.
  • ​​1:40 - 1: 55 New ways of working for our community ​@Jenny M​ 
  • ​​Models that each group can use to get aligned on mission/goals
  • ​​For example, Business Models group could ask themselves every week, “Is the work we’re doing helping developers make money on Blockstack?”
  • ​​PoX group could ask, “Is the work we’re doing increasing the number of miners, stackers and contracts deployed on Stacks 2.0?”
  • ​​Which groups have an “expiration date” and which groups will work indefinitely?

​​Hi, I am Harini Anantha Rajan from Nashua, New Hampshire. I am a Software Engineer by profession and my hobbies include baking and singing :) I am an avid learner and I always love to keep myself updated with new technologies.
​​Currently, I am working alongside an enthusiastic "Slamtrade"/"Blocksurvey" team, and actively working on the Blockstack platform to contribute our part in building the next gen apps. I am also leading the initiative on enhancing  and emphasizing the need for women digital privacy.I am here to share my knowledge and in turn learn more from the community. !!
​​
​​Hi! I am Georgina (Mirlo) and I am in Madrid. I am a senior author, so not a technical person, although I have taken coding courses and I am used to work with technology. I am committed to spread the mission and vision of Blockstack to build an Internet where users' fundamental rights are respected and can be defended. In Madrid I have started building the Blockstack community from ground 0 in the past months, and we are starting to see the interest grow. in this meeting I hope to explain what I have been doing lately, and what has worked better… Btw, I have a passion for classical music, and I am surrounded by musicians and artists. Actually, I recently named my studio “Geeks & Musicians” as I host Blockstack workshops as wel, as home conterts. Actually, I have a DApp for artists in mind… Quoting R. Schumann “There is no end to learning”, so I am looking forward to listen from you and to learn a lot from your experiences.
