Hi @danglard thanks a bunch for this application.
This sounds interesting!
Initial impressions / Questions
Milestone 1:
- This overlaps enough with our own core product that it doesn’t make sense for us to fund it (it’d be redundant). On our discord (link here), we have a channel in Development called “Funding.” That team is working on a product called Workstreams, which essentially does exactly what Milestone 1 mentions. I’d check that out to get a feel for the direction there. So I’m not sure how much sense it makes to fund this milestone.
Milestone 2:
- Q: There are contests, then within each contest there will be proposals. I understand that you want to allow users to up/down vote on proposals within an individual contest. This will help with ranking/surfacing the best proposals within a given contest. However, the contests themselves are not addressed when it comes to a good method of ranking/discovery. Do you have any plans to better filter/surface contests themselves? (See notes below on Milestone 3, as I don’t think building infrastructure to do this manually is the best idea - early on at least)
Milestone 3:
- Q: What content moderation do you think would be necessary? My gut reaction is two-fold: (a) to create a contest costs money/gas, so I would be less worried about spam and (b) more granular content moderation is not that important this early on. Social networks that have community voting can generally get by with a simple algorithm that ranks by upvotes to filter out poor quality (i.e. lower upvotes or high downvotes). But happy to be corrected here if you have something else in mind.
Overarching questions:
- How/where is data stored for https://www.jokedao.io/?
- How do you imagine a grants program or DAO could use this to facilitate surfacing useful projects and funding them?
Let’s setup a call sometime in the next week.
My discord handle is: bordumb#6773
Note: We are in the middle of getting approval for the next season of grants. We have a Formal Review post below and will have a Snapshot vote in the coming week. Until then we won’t be able to vote on this proposal.
