Proposal tracking by maty
TLDR: Fund maty to continue tracking all funded proposals (46 ETH saved) and writing newsletters (over 16k views) for 5.5 ETH/month.
About me
Active in nouns every day for a year, founding Nouncil and Esports Pod member, Discord mod (rip), NSFW team member... but most of my work has been centered around a weekly newsletter and proposal tracking dashboards I have created in Notion.
Tracking proposals
Problem: It's hard to follow individual projects after they get funded, the information is scattered. Accountability is important.
Solution:
- I'm following up with builders of all funded projects, providing a way for builders to share all the awesome work they've done
- Saving the data to Notion proposal.wtf - 5 interconnected dashboards with all the important info, allows anyone to quickly and easily search for any project, filter and sort them based on various properties or see all projects by a particular builder.
Thanks to these follow-ups, I have contributed to 46 ETH being returned to the DAO (from 2 proposals with leftover funds).
Future focus:
- Getting cleaner-looking dashboards up on nouns.center (in collaboration with cdt, you can already find the Communities list we made here)
- Working with the Agora team to display relevant information in Agora profiles
Newsletter
Problem: Information overload, hundreds of funded projects + even more seeking funding. With the dissolution of the official Discord server, this only got worse. Solution:
- Weekly newsletter highlighting the biggest things happening around nouns, showcasing new proposed projects, new on-chain proposals, art, and more. Serves as an information distribution mechanism and as a historical snapshot of the DAO. Example.
- Special posts for Prop House rounds with TLDRs of all proposals (and other functions when needed) everything in one place, easy to read. Example.
- this helps us more effectively deploy capital via Prop House
- Newsletter data:
- over 50 posts already (6 a month on average), with over 16,000 reads in total!
- latest posts get around 350-400 readers
- subscriber count is in a steady uptrend from the start, currently at 430
Future focus:
- highlighting the newly emerging communities
- special posts with big proposal updates (highlights of changes from the dashboards)
Funding
Previously my work has been funded via NSFW (monthly, based on the amount of work, 4.5-5.5 ETH), but since now I am an active member of NSFW, I am seeking funding via on-chain proposal. I am asking for 5.5 ETH a month for 7 months:
- 1 month retro for October (7 newsletter posts, maintaining the dashboard and adding a new one - Communities/Groups)
- 6 months going forward, paid via Sablier stream (until the end of April)
- A total of 38.5 ETH
