Computational resources made easy with Golem Network
Golem Portal serves as the UI for Golem Network, a marketplace for computational resources. Through this platform, individuals can rent out unused hardware peer-to-peer and access an open-source alternative to traditional computing resource providers.
After working on it for a few months, I am excited to announce the Golem Portal 🚀. We have started to work on it, to lower 📉 the barrier to entry for developers to run apps on the Golem Network (a peer-to-peer marketplace 🛍️ for computational resources). In addition, we want to improve Golem adoption and attract more users to create applications on our platform.
Golem Portal is fronted 🖼️ for the marketplace (Golem Network) that allows users to start applications on the Golem Network using a friendly web interface (in contrast to CLI 🐱💻, that until now was the only way to interact with apps on Golem). Think of it as an additional abstraction layer over our API and SDK. We have also added deployment visualization 🌆, where you can see the steps required to run an app on Golem Network, how many providers are active, and how long it takes to start each node.
I want to be honest here, this is still an alpha version 🚼. It allows you to try out three different apps (each presenting a different use case). We still miss some features like:
✳️ a proper troubleshooting tool for users in case a deployment goes south
✳️ an option to submit your own application
✳️ user authentication/login
However, those are already on our roadmap. You can read more about Golem Portal and its vision on our About page and on our Discord Server (links below).
