📣 Project update - 11th October 2023 📣

Hi all and thank you for your interest and support of Ethora engine and platform!

There are important updates and improvements coming soon:

1. Architecture review and refactoring.

The project has been developing over years, new features and changes have happened. We have done some refactoring before, but now there is a time to do further improvements. Below is a simplified scheme of our architecture. We invite any feedback or questions regarding the architecture and code of React Native and React.js clients as we are now going for a push to further improve the codebase to make it easier to use and modify for any developer. Please be critical and candid, tell us openly if you struggle to understand something etc - we will make the most use out of your feedback!

2. Design improvements

Great design update is coming soon first for the Mobile client and then Web. We are making the design layout more slick and professional, at the same time ensuring it is easy to customize for different projects.

3. New Youtube video

Check out a video on Ethora engine by the famous @CodeEater21. He talks about our engine and covers the steps to build your project using Ethora for both iOS and Android: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSomfrBgPzI

4. Self hosted option via AWS Marketplace or Docker Hub

Currently this engine required Ethora API and Chat server running from our Cloud server. It has a generous free tier and a reasonable business plan. Due to a popular demand, we are also going to make available a self hosted version. Those projects who prefer our Cloud option can rest assured you will be able to continue using it on the Free plan, upgrade to Business when you need extra support and SLA or migrate to a self-hosted if you need so in future.

💡 All the things you can do!

Some ideas of what you can build with Ethora engine:

a social / community app with chat rooms
a wallet app for digital assets (coins, NFTs) or documents (PDF, health reports etc)
loyalty points & rewards app
chat bot / ChatGPT consulting app
p2p social commerce and business networking app
gamification of [anything] app
fans app (sport clubs, celebrities) - communication, collectibles, 2nd screen
DAO / charity governance - voting and crowd-funding via bots, governance tokens and DAO smart contracts
digital identity / KYC / pass app (NFT / QR based)

Startups, communities and enterprises come to use Ethora engine so they can deliver their MVP (minimum viable product) app quickly, within DAYS as opposed to months or even years when building a similar functionality from scratch. This engine is fully production ready too, powering multiple projects live in Apple and Google appstores.

App builder

The fastest 🚀 way to get your app running is to use our "Apps" web interface that takes care of the following:

Allows you to customize your app (name, logo, colors etc)
Launches your web app at the URL (subdomain) you choose
Generates the React Native codebase for your iOS & Android mobile app (already pre-populated with your logo, colors etc)

This gets you running within MINUTES ⏱️.

You can always customize later either via web UI or directly via code.

App Builder Demo

Q: How is this hosted? Can I self-host? A: Your web app will be hosted in our cloud (Free tier) by default. Alternatively, you can check out the React.js code from this repository and self host it, or get our full backend from AWS Marketplace and get both app and API backend running in your own infrastructure.

Q: Can I use my own Push Notifications and Firebase if I use your free cloud backend? A: Absolutely, you just need to specify your Firebase credentials and upload your iOS push notifications certificate in the "Services" tab in your App Settings:

Q: How do I create an account and play with this builder? A: Sign up for a Free account here: https://www.dappros.com/pricing/, sign in & go into "Apps" section of the menu.

Chat bots (ChatGPT, DAO voting, NFT minting, bookings/reminders, commerce etc)

You can easily extend your Ethora-based app with chat bots. This is a fantastic way to implement additional functionality without changing a single line of code in the engine itself.

We use XMPP protocol and this means you can easily connect to chat rooms, interact with your Users and digital assets via your own chat bots logic. Your chat bots can be written in Python, Node.js or anything really that is capable of interacting with XMPP. In this repo (https://github.com/dappros/ethora/tree/main/bots section) you will find some sample bots built using Ethora Bots Framework. This Framework is a scaffolding (currently in Node.js but more languages coming) that abstracts away the mundane tasks allowing you to focus on the core logic of your bots.

Branding and customization

Ethora offers many branding options for app owners. You can easily change things such as your app name, logo, theme colours, Coin name and symbol etc. These things you can change using our App builder UI without even having to
