## Work log

### 2018

### Week of Nov 5

* Fixed various extensions issues discovered during hackathon ([#6610](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/6610) [#6661](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/6661) [#6668](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/6668) (Julien)
* Added DApps ([#6667](https://github.com/status-im/status-react/pull/6667) (Julien)
* Agreed with providers ring about next steps (Rachel, Andrey, Julien)
* Discussed with Embark team about EIP1102 strategies (backport to Embark3, delayed call to enable) (Rachel, Julien)
* Discussed ENS usernames reverse lookup strategies https://github.com/status-im/ens-usernames/issues/80 (Rachel, Julien)
* Investigated potential new wallet extension hook (Julien)
* Investigated how pluto works and moved registry out of it (Alex)
* Improved extension management — added functionality to allow editing and removing extensions + made UI for it (Alex)
* Worked on extensions data persistence (Alex) - not finished yet


### Week of Oct 29

* Reorganized and edited [extensions documentation](https://github.com/status-im/status.im/tree/develop/source/extensions) (Julien, Rachel)
* Decided not to force EIP1102 until ~Nov 16—ENS DApp and Voting DApp will break because there are architectual changes needed in Embark to support the most recent implementation of EIP1102. OKR voting will run until Nov 16. Implication: DApps that switch to EIP1102 (per MetaMask timeline of Nov 2) will break inside Status unless `Development mode` and `Opt-in web3 provider access` are enabled in settings. (Julien, Rachel)
