# The Vanillae Files
|
|
|
|
My name is Peter Harpending. I'm one of the two developers of the Vanillae
|
|
Project (other: Craig Everett).
|
|
|
|
Craig and I started by creating [Aegora.jp: a simple e-commerce website that
|
|
uses Aeternity as its payment system.](https://aegora.jp) We are also
|
|
currently developing a wallet. We have run into many weird stupid technical
|
|
pitfalls or weird things you have to learn about that take like 8 hours but
|
|
really are 1 hour of complexity. Solving these pitfalls was the genesis of the
|
|
Vanillae project. This file tree documents the pitfalls we cared to write about.
|
|
|
|
Most of these have code examples in Erlang and/or TypeScript.
|
|
|
|
This is roughly the order in which you are likely to encounter these pitfalls,
|
|
but each document is self-contained (ish) \[non-links are planned and have not
|
|
been written yet\]:
|
|
|
|
1. [How to install NPM without getting AIDS](./npm-misc/)
|
|
2. [Base64 versus Base58 with code in Erlang and TypeScript](./baseN/)
|
|
3. [Ethereum Recursive Length Prefix (RLP) Encoding, with code in Erlang and TypeScript](./rlp/)
|
|
4. [Keccak, SHA-3, and SHAKE-N, with code in Erlang](./kek/)
|
|
5. Seed Phrase Recovery, with code in Erlang and TypeScript
|
|
6. Fast Aeternity Recovery Text (FÆRT): a better seed phrase standard
|
|
7. Sidekick and the Aepp-Waellet Communication Protocol (AWCP): how to talk to browser wallet extensions from a page script (and vice versa)
|
|
8. How browser extensions work
|
|
9. Basics of Elliptic Curve Cryptography
|
|
10. How to build a wallet
|
|
11. Aeternity Interoperable Device Signatures (AIDS): a standard for decentralized point-of-sale services (think Square, Stripe, etc)
|
|
12. vanillae-erl: how to talk to the blockchain from your service backend
|
|
13. How to run an Aeternity node
|
|
14. The Jex Packaging System: NPM is cancer
|
|
15. Things we learned making Aegora
