Ping is a notification service that boosts ecosystem engagement by creating a direct communication channel between dapp developers and their respective users.
Ping caters to two user personas, dapp developers & dapp users. User stories for each user persona are listed below:
A dapp developer can:
- login/authenticate on the platform => to verify themselves
- create a publisher profile => to make themselves discoverable by subscribers (dapp users)
- post an update => to keep their subscribers informed about important events
- view update history => to see the updates they sent previously
A dapp user can:
- login/authenticate on the platform => to access their inbox
- view list of publishers (dapps) => to select the dapps that are relevant to them.
- subscribe to a publisher => to receive updates from it
- view their inbox => to see updates from all dapps they have subscribed to
Do check it out the live version deployed here! You'll need to have a wallet supporting the ICP network, (eg BitFinity) to connect to the application.
The application is in prototype stage. Further enhancements coming soon...
The application is divided into two canisters:
- backend: hosts the core application logic written in Rust. The code can be found under
/src/pingICP_backend - asset/frontend: hosts the UI components of the application written using React framework. The code can be found under
/src/pingICP_frontend
