Developer Tool on Lilico Wallet

Developer Tool in Lilico Wallet

Grant category

• Developer tools / services

Description

One of the main goals for lilico is developer friendly. To achieve this, we would like to provide more tools for developers to test their dApp while they are in development.

Problem statement

1. When a developer creates their custom FT or NFT, they can't get it to display on the wallet when it's in testing.
   Because they have to go through the whole progress to submit PR or form to let wallet to display.
   It's not easy for them to test their NFT or FT.

2. I heard from some of the dApp team ( The fabricant ) are struggling with automation testing since they need to collaborate with the wallet to provide the automation ability. So Lilico would like to step further to provide this ability to all developer on flow.

• Target audience
  Developer

• Evidence for the need
  Emmm.... other ecosystem have a similar tool, we believe it will be needed by developers.

Proposed solution

1. Once the developer mode is on, Lilico will have a custom FT or NFT input field inside of the wallet, the developer can enter their project key info like contract_name, address, storage_path and etc. Then Lilico will store it locally and will fetch and display those FT or NFT in the wallet. So developers can test their project for displaying or sending all kind of stuff before submit to alchemy or wallet to make it public.

2. Lilico will create an auto-approve ability in the developer setting, which will sign the coming transaction and message automatically. So the dapp can resume their testing without waiting for approval.

Impact

• In what ways does this benefit the broader Flow developer ecosystem?

Yes, it will benefit all flow developers if they need this kind of ability.

thanks for the submission! we'll review and get back to you soon @lmcmz

[alxflw]

hey @lmcmz, we've reviewed this application would like to accept it if you could:

1. Add a documentation milestone
2. Add an adoption milestone before maintenance (eg 100 developers used the feature in dev mode)

Please let me know if that is ok and we can move forward.

[lmcmz]

Hi @alxflw

Sure, got it. We will work on it and update here.

[alxflw]

great, could you update the milestones, deliverables, timelines, and costs in your issue based on the feedback?

[alxflw]

hi @lmcmz, can you please update the description based on the above?

[alxflw]

hey @lmcmz, please update the application above. we cannot review this before and will mark this as stale due to inactivity

[lmcmz]

Hey @alxflw

Sorry for the late reply, some distraction on our end.
I have update the milestone base on your comments, please have a look.

[alxflw]

thanks, we'll do a final review on this and get back soon

[chrisackermann]

Hi @lmcmz - just following up on the earlier feedback about a specific adoption milestone. Can you please propose a specific target for adoption for Milestone 5 (e.g. 100 developers using the feature in dev mode)?

[lmcmz]

Yeah, the adoption was planning to track and generate a usage report to flow developer experience team.
If it's no need, we can simply remove it. :)

[chrisackermann]

Sorry @lmcmz - wasn't saying it wasn't needed, but instead was looking for you to propose a specific level of adoption that would trigger the milestone being completed. For instance, the milestone could be marked as complete when X developers have used the feature on dev mode. Does that work?

[chrisackermann]

Hi @lmcmz, we're closing this proposal out based on our conversation around current resourcing. We'll revisit at a later point when there is resourcing ready to take this one forward. Thanks!

[Aliserag]

We appreciate your proposal and taking the time to fill it out. Given the time since this has been submitted I'm closing this down, please reach out to me if you'd like to share what you're working on now and explore potential opportunities ali.serag@flowfoundation.org.
