A
So
in
putting
this
together,
we
realized
that
I
really
don't
have
enough
time
to
get
through
all
the
stuff
that
happened
this
year.
So
we
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
we
set
out
a
pretty
you
know:
broad
goals
of
more
time
on
community
initiatives,
more
conferences,
more
launches,
more
ideas,
more
collaborators,
more
collaborations,
shipping,
more
stuff
and
more
more
stuff,
and
so
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
focused
on
shipping
new
products
and
it's
kind
of
amazing,
all
the
stuff
that
we
got
done.
A
So
we
kind
of
shipped
all
the
things
this
year
we
did
a
bunch
of
new
updates
to
our
threaddb
protocol
and
database,
and
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
newer
stuff
towards
the
end.
Here
we
implemented
a
bunch
of
new
access
control
mechanisms
for
developers
who
are
looking
to
leverage
web
3
technologies
with
web
2
access
control
constraints.
We
launched
a
new
mailbox
api
that
is
really
making
it
a
lot
easier
for
people
to
do.
A
Things
like
share
invites
between
threads,
but
also
share,
invites
between
different
web3
protocols
in
order
to
sort
of
tie
a
lot
of
different,
tooling
and
and
tools
together,
we
we
launched
our
buckets
apis,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
We
launched
a
bunch
of
stuff
around
filecoin,
we
launched
some
new
community
initiatives
and
all
the
all
the
things
so
speaking
of
launching
products,
we
put
a
bunch
of
effort
into
our
textiles
textile
buckets
api.
A
That's
built
on
top
of
threaddb,
which
is
our
dynamic
thread,
event
sourcing
layer
it
and
it
ties
together
a
bunch
of
textile
tooling,
like
our
powergate
api,
which
I'm
going
to
talk
about
in
a
second
and
then
standard
ipfs
things
like
unix,
ff
unix,
fs
and
dagdb,
and
all
are
dag
structures
so
that
you
can
share
data
on
ipfs
in
a
really
clean
way.
It
publishes
all
this
over
everything
you
can
think
of
including
http
ipfs
slip,
p2p,
ipns
and
all
the
things,
and
it's
really
easy.
So
that's
the
that's!
A
That's
the
name
of
the
game
here
when
we're
talking
about
stuff.
Of
course,
2020
was
the
year
of
filecoin
for
us
and
a
lot
of
other
teams,
and
so
we
shipped
a
very
exciting
new
product.
We
call
powergate,
which
is
a
multi-tiered
storage
api
and
it's
built
to
to
to
leverage
any
of
that
gap
between
ipfs
and
filecoin.
A
It
lets
you,
you
know,
build
indexes
for
file
coin
data,
it
lets
you
push
data
to
and
from
file
coin,
for
retrieval
and
for
storage.
It's
designed
to
be
used
by
other
teams.
It's
designed
to
be
used
by
pinning
services,
which
is
going
to
be
a
big
thing
in
2021.
I
think-
and
it's
it's
really
designed
for
teams
building
services
on
top
of
file
coin.
The
coolest
thing,
of
course,
is
it's
pretty
easy
to
use.
A
So
if
you
even
are
just
sort
of
file
coin
curious,
I
recommend
you
take
a
look
at
powergate
and
start
playing
around
there
a
little
bit
all
of
our
tools.
Now,
and
continue
to
be
supported
by
across
a
number
of
different
languages.
So
if
you're
building
a
golang,
app
you're
building,
something
in
javascript
you're
building
with
python,
we
have
community
contributes
who
built
api,
wrappers
and
connectors
in
all
these
different
languages
and
everything's
available
over
grpc.
A
So
even
if
you've
got
a
language
there,
you're
not
that's,
not
covered
already,
you
can
jump
in
and
and
start
building
stuff.
Pretty
quick.
We've
done
a
lot
of
focus
this
year
on
community
outreach.
In
fact,
we
set
a
goal
of
our
for
ourselves
to
actually
contribute
directly
to
external
projects
as
much
as
possible.
One
of
those
has
been
a
handoff
of
something
we
call
a
js
ipfs
lite
to
the
ipfs
core
team.
I
actually
talked
about
ipfs
lite
in
a
prior
meet
up,
so
that's
now
become
js,
dag
service
and
that's
something.
A
And
then,
of
course,
we
have
a
lot
of
speaking
of
community.
We
have
a
lot
of
interactions
with
other
teams,
including
folks
from
fleek,
from
memex
from
slate
from
the
file
coin,
core
team
and
protocol
labs
and
ceramic
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
teams
that
we're
really
excited
to
continue
to
interact
with
and
to
do
a
bunch
of
integration.
A
So
expect
a
bunch
of
really
tight
integrations
between
groups
like
fleek
and
ceramic
and
slate
in
the
coming
months
and
quarters,
and
please
do
check
out
those
projects,
because
without
those
teams
you
know
they
help
us
to
drive
api
development.
They
help
us
to
drive
features
and
they
help
us
to
pick
what
we
ship
in
order
to
ship
all
this
stuff.
A
We've
also
had
to
do
some
hiring,
so
we're
very
excited
that
we've
got
two
new
members
that
have
joined
our
team
pretty
recently
in
the
towards
the
end
of
2020
and
so
a
textile
team,
in
addition
to
growing
our
product
space
and
our
tooling
and
all
of
our
community
outreach
we're
also
expanding
our
team
locally,
and
so
please,
you
know,
give
them
a
warm
welcome
to
the
new
team
members
and
hopefully
you'll
be
interacting
with
them
a
bit
more
in
the
new
year
and
that's
pretty
much
it.
A
I
don't
want
to
take
up
more
than
my
fair
share
of
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
Please
ping
me
afterwards.
If
you
want
to
know
any
specifics
about
the
stuff
that
we
did,
it
was
really
tough
to
pick
what
I
was
going
to
put
in
this
set
of
slides
and
what
to
leave
out.
But
I
think
that'll
give
you
a
quick
overview
and
for
anyone,
who's
not
familiar
with
textile
already,
what's
going
on,
aren't
you
paying
attention

you're
