This is an intermidiate Holochain training, with step by step exercises and their tests.

It consists of a private publication hApp that has already been implemented, but only its backend.

Your goal is to re-implement this private publication happ, one step at a time.

To do that, go into EXERCISES.md and follow its instructions. Have fun!

2. Clone this repo and cd inside of it.

3. Enter the nix shell by running this in the root folder of the repository:
