New Tutorial Alert! IPFS: Mutable File System (MFS)

[terichadbourne]

Hey there, @ProtoSchool/chapter-organizers!

For those who haven't spotted it yet, I just wanted to let you know that we've published a new tutorial on the Mutable File System (MFS) in IPFS. This tutorial covers the IPFS Files API, an abstraction which lets you work with immutable content in IPFS as those you were working with files and folders in a UNIX-style file system. A new tutorial is a great excuse to plan your next chapter event!

As you check out the latest tutorial in preparation for your next event, you'll notice lots of recent UX improvements to Protoschool that benefit learners, tutorial authors, and the broader community.

Learner experience:

• landing pages for each tutorial
• solutions viewable when the learner feels stuck
• logging of results to help the learner diagnose mistakes

Author tooling:

• streamlined project structure and clearer instructions for building tutorials
• file upload options for relevant lessons
• markdown formatting option for success and failure messages
• end-to-end testing to ensure solution code passes validation tests

Community growth:

• social cards generated when you share a link to ProtoSchool on Twitter, etc.
• 21 chapters on 4 continents 🎉

We've been hard at work making ProtoSchool more friendly for both learners and tutorial authors, and many of our updates are possible thanks to the great feedback we receive from our users and chapter organizers like you! When you host your next ProtoSchool workshop, please encourage your attendees to use the link at the bottom of their screen to submit suggestions and feedback!

You can also help your fellow chapter organizers by telling them what's working well at your events. Join the discussion!
