Berty's Gnokey Mobile - Builder Journey

[costinberty]

🔑 Gnokey Mobile - the first build is here.

It’s raw, it’s ugly, but it can do 2 things:

1.⁠ ⁠create a master password to use for all accounts it manages and
2.⁠ ⁠sign TX manually (meaning you need to open the Gnokey dApp manually and click sign).

In the next iteration Gnokey Mobile will wake-up automatically (when requested from another dApp - like dSocial) to allow for a smoother transition to the sign TX action.

Alexis and Manfred are on board and more updates will happen soon.

Stay tuned 👀

Contribution: gnokey command to rotate a password

The gnokey CLI command uses the keybase API which has a method to change the password, but this wasn't available in the CLI. Gnokey Mobile is the mobile version of this CLI and we want to support changing the password. It makes sense to support this in CLI version. Our PR to add this (and rename "Update" to "Rotate") was merged.

% gnokey rotate --help
USAGE
  rotate [flags] <key-name>

rotate the password of a key in the keybase to a new password.

Release: New Gnokey Mobile features

We have new versions for Android and iOS of the Gnokey Mobile app, working with our demonstration app dSocial. New features:

• When creating a new account, select the associated chain (Portal Loop, testnet5, etc.)
• And related, add a custom chain (your own testnet)
• Improve interaction between Gnokey Mobile and the user app (like dSocial) when signing transactions: Return to the correct screen after using Gnokey Mobile to sign the transaction or to cancel.
• For each account, show details such as which chain it's associated with.

We are actively working with Alexis to elevate the UI and user workflow to production quality.
