Some Lessons from Building a DAPP on the IC

[icme]

• In particular we wanted to have a manager canister that spawns user canisters, and each user canister should hold HTML and related data, those are the notes to share.
• This proved very hard, and we had to abandon over a month of work in Motoko when it proved not be able to do the job.

Hmm - there are numerous examples of a parent or manager canister dynamically spinning up child canisters in Motoko.

The first example was written in 2021 Mini BigMap library

If you search this forum with the terms “Dynamically create canisters in Motoko”, this is the first result Blog post: Dynamically Create Canister Smart Contracts In Motoko

I’m curious what the implementation blockers were for doing this in Motoko, maybe adding more support for this in the developer docs would have helped?
