The Ancient History

Nov-2018: Phtiv flipped from RES to ENL (again...). He wanted to be able to use the field plans he'd created in RESwue and to make new plans. ENL did not have a tool that met his needs. So recruited his friend Saillittlefoot to get started on developing a new tool: PhtivDraw. PhtivDraw had some good ideas (swapping portals, etc), but was very rough and stuck in doing things like RESwue did.

2019-02:The initial sharing functionality was based on generating URLs that liked to PastBin style services. deviousness looked at it and said, "this is horrible, I can do better." He took the qbin server code and started learning Google Go. After a few iterations of pastebin style transactions, he'd given up on doing things that way and wrote a dedicated REST/JSON service. Additional features, such as agent location sharing and teams, were quickly added.

(get dates) In short order deviousness and TheSned started working on various parts. One day, while eating BBQ, deviousness was lamenting the manner of adding links in PhtivDraw, which was based on the add-link dialog in RESwue. "I just want to click on each of the anchors, then click on each of the spine portals, and have each of the links added." TheSned said, "hold my root beer." A few days later the quickdraw feature was added.

2019-04-05: First reference to WASABI (what about some absolutely bitchin' intel / win against surfs, be impressive)

2019-05-14: Wasabi.rocks is taken, but wasabee.rocks is free, so... name change.

2019-06-11: "dear god javascript is a kludgy **** mess." - deviousness' first steps into working on the IITC plugin

2019-06-21: QuanticPotato, down in South America, heard about the project and wanted to help out. July 1, 2019, the first auto-draw, Multimax, was incorporated. QuanticPotato also worked hard to take the monolithic code and modularize it, and wrote the first gulp/webpack build system.

2020-06-08 : A wild wasabee Telegram join link has been shared in a french group. That's where fisher01 discovered the existence of wasabee. That's only another start point.

somewhere between previous and next dates : The legacy mobile app has been abandoned earlier, an Android version created with Flutter is on the Play Store, but the iOS version is inexistant. The application isn't planned to get new updates. I (fisher01) already used the legacy app and it's a really useful tool. At this point, I was thinking about starting a new version from scratch, which would be available on both Android and iOS. It would'nt be hard since my fulltime job is to develop and maintain mobile apps.

2020-07-21 : fisher01 - Sébastien [Lyon 🇫🇷 | Recursed ENL], [21/07/2020 07:57] Hello 👋 I can be your wasabee mobile app dev, I work with Xamarin so it'll be from scratch

deviousness (Scot 🐢 D/FW Ԙ14), [21/07/2020 08:35] Very cool. What do you need from me to get started?

2020-09-08 : The Mobile App General Chat group has been created and shared to the community. That's where the new mobile app history began.
