In this episode, João, our Lead Developer Advocate at Cartesi, is joined by Shaheen Ahmed, Builder at Comet to talk about creating a space for collective creativity on-chain. We’ll break down how Comet works technically, including how Cartesi and Espresso stack into its architecture. We’ll also hear from Shaheen about his journey as a developer, a real discussion about what it’s like to build creatively, and what it takes to bring smooth, expressive UX to social dApps - Comet is a social dApp with depth.
Comet is a decentralized co-writing text platform powered by Cartesi Linux VM and Espresso, where anyone can start the co-creation of a shared rhyme, poem, song, or story that can be minted, with profits distributed evenly among all contributors. As a user on Comet, you can present your work as an ERC1155 token for collectors.
