### BUILDER UPDATE: Jan 30 - Feb 4, 2024 (posted via [Build DAO Gateway](https://nearbuilders.org/feed?tab=update)) **✅ DONE** - I have fixed issues of the LensSDK Alpha and created the example dashboard page (kind of Swagger-like) including calls to each of the methods that are included on the LensSDK Alpha version, in order to facilitate newcomers and also to experiment with the SDK - LensSDK Alpha version has been successfully released on 31st January as scheduled - Created an experimental hook called `useSharedContext`. This hook allows to share state manipulation across the imported children and its parent, making it easy to handle status changes. Components that are meant to be children need to be created as a function that returns the element. I'm actually using this in Frensly project. You can check examples in the attached links. - I've been trying to create an improved version of `$Loader` to avoid as much as possible the errors message flash when getting into an app using it, but didn't find the right path yet - I've reviewed and approved some PRs from Megha - I've rested after LensSDK Alpha release as it required a lot of energy and working hours - I've been working on the Abstraction Hackathon project, improving Frensly homepage which I expect to finish during tomorrow. - Btw, I've applied and have been accepted for ETHDenver hackathon! See you there soon! - Links: - [LensSDK Alpha](https://near.org/near/widget/ComponentDetailsPage?src=sdks.near/widget/SDKs.Lens.LensSDK) - [LensSDK Example Dashboard](https://near.org/sdks.near/widget/Examples.Lens) - [useSharedContext](https://near.org/near/widget/ComponentDetailsPage?src=sdks.near/widget/Hooks.useSharedContext) - [Approved PR (#10)](https://github.com/NEARBuilders/sdks.near/pull/10) - [Approved PR (#11)](https://github.com/NEARBuilders/sdks.near/pull/11) - [Frensly Home](https://near.org/mattb.near/widget/Frensly.Pages.Index) - [useSharedContext - Real Example](https://near.org/near/widget/ComponentDetailsPage?src=mattb.near/widget/Frensly.Pages.Index) **⏩ NEXT** - Prepare the presentation for the Abstraction Hackathon, creating the video and submitting the project. - Add some few endpoints that I think are a must for the Alpha version and I have missed to include in the initial document. After finishing implementing the endpoints, I will tag the "lens-sdk" library alpha version in the Manifest file - I'm going to start with the LensSDK Beta version **🛑 BLOCKERS** - It's not kind of a blocker yet, but I'm thinking on ways on how to fix the flashing errors before components finish loading while leaving intact the simplicity essence of `$Loader` #build #update
