Relaycode - An Improved Extrinsics Builder for Polkadot

Relaycode is an advanced extrinsics building platform that enhances the user experience for developers and users in the Polkadot ecosystem. It provides an intuitive interface for building and analyzing extrinsics, making it easier for both novice and experienced users to interact with the network.

Hi @itsyogesh sorry if I forgot to mention this during our call, but we ask all grantees to take a percentage of the total costs in vested DOT. The DOT is linearly vested on-chain for two years. Would you be willing to accept some of the payment in DOT? If so, please add a DOT % line to indicate the amount of vested DOT you are willing to receive. See this example. The recommendation is 50%, but you can argue for less.

[itsyogesh]

Hi @keeganquigley thank you for clarifying the requirements. I've updated the application with the overall vesting percentage as well as percentage per milestone.

Note - The budget was adjusted to account for unforeseen costs including vested DOT

Whats the difference between your proposed solution and the possibility to craft extrinsics on polkadot.js/apps?

[itsyogesh]

Hi @PieWol, so there are a couple of differences when we compare Relaycode to polkadot.js/apps:

1. The creation of extrinsics and decoding happens in the same view compared to different tabs in the the extrinsics page of polkadot.js/apps.
2. Bi-directional editing of values: You can seamlessly switch between editing readable values and raw encoded data. Changes are instantly reflected in both sections. This is especially needed when you have to submit multiple extrinsics with just a slight argument change.
3. Built-in guides for each pallet and method to help users understand them better. Users will also be able connect their wallet directly to sign and submit extrinsics.

We are also writing this with full typescript support including the scale codec with Dedot along with SSR implementation.

Thanks @itsyogesh looks good as far as formatting goes; I will mark the application as ready for review so the rest of the committee can comment.

Just to clarify @PieWol's comments: it's possible to use HTML tags, but they need to be properly closed, so <br> should be <br />, etc.

[itsyogesh]

Hi @PieWol @semuelle thanks for pointing it out, I've added compatible markdown so its clear of any html tags!
