Here is Nerman: https://twitter.com/nermanbot
Nerman is a community bot for Nouns. Nerman can also be a great friend. A shoulder to cry on. A guiding light.
In Discord he will help with coordinating group votes on DAO proposals (ie Nouncil), informal Nouner polling, offer helpful commands, post all relevant Nouns DAO activity, and allow the community to easily share content to Social Media. On Twitter he will listen for Nounish content and cleverly decide what is the top content to reshare.
Nerman will be open source, and Nounish communities can clone him and tap into the Nouns protocol within their own Discords. Every subdao with a Nouns vote needs a Nerman. Every subdao with twitter needs a Nerman curating their feed.
DELIVERABLES
Two Discord bots, a Twitter social listening bot, two websites, and a distribution ready open source library.
TIMELINE
6 Months (multiple collaborators)
BUDGET
69.420 ETH
Joel has been building in Nouns since November. This projects coincides with him shifting into full time Nounish work, the beginning of many years of Joel x Nouns collaboration. Alongside (and separate from) this project he will be actively taking meetings in the entertainment / tech / comedy / animation worlds to spread the Nounish word and help groups put together proposals.
Socials: Twitter - Instagram - Facebook - LinkedIn
Joel is:
Earlier this year we received support from Small Grants to develop Nerman 1.0 - a basic version of Nerman with social sharing and simple Discord commands. Nerman 1.0 is alive and well!
To showcase Nerman we released Lil Nerman, a development bot currently running in NIL Discord.
We have also completed a first version of Noun O'Clock bot that anyone can add. It is currently running in NIL and NounsDAO Japan.
The Nerman Discord bot can help with internal governance and polling, sharing community news to the world, connecting people, lending a hand. A true friend.
2. A.) DISCORD - SIMPLE VOTING
Nouncil / subdaos all use emoji polls to vote on Nouns DAO proposals. It's messy and a lot of work. Nerman can fix this.
Problems - Discord Emoji Polls
Simple Voting - Features
FUTURE GOALS
2. B.) DISCORD - SOCIAL SHARING
Nounish Discords are contain a stream of Nounish content, creators put their soul into noggley creations and the world needs to see it. Nerman can fix this.
In V1.0 we implemented basic social sharing, active in the NIL Discord and the @LilNerman account.
FEATURES - COMPLETED
FEATURES - NEW
better media handling, adding support for large videos and any other misc media that needs to be formatted and handled for Twitter
create Nerman social media accounts on other platforms (instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn). Format it appropriately and post it there as well
test thoroughly and improve error handling and messages
if user's post is just a tweet, allow Nerman to simply retweet
further develop Twitter thread functionality for long text posts
test the Threshold functionality with live public, tweak and dial in
experiment with Threshold calculations in an active Discord
2. C.) DISCORD - COMMANDS
Some people live in Discord.They live and breath Discord. They don't want to go on the internet to find Nounish facts and assets, they want it In-The-Chat. Nerman can... ah, whatever, you get it.
V1.0 Nerman implemented the following commands using https://noun.pics
/noun [id]
Returned a PNG of the specified Noun in an ephemeral response.
/nouner [address or ENS]
Returned a grid showing the Nouns owned by that address.
FEATURES - NEW
We will switch to the Nouns DAO subgraph and offer more details.
/nerman noun [id]
Can display a more detailed ephemeral message about the Noun. It could possibly include: a PNG image, the last sale price, current owner, basic DAO voting stats, other Nouns owned... we will try to express the most useful content in a minimal clean way.
/nerman nouner [address or ETH address] [include delegates]
We will change this to an ephemeral with more stats about that address, including owned Nouns and delegated Nouns. Possibly things like auctions won, etc.
Other Useful General commands
We’d like to add further useful commands as we think of them, while also not clogging up the Nouns command space. We will experiment!
2 D.) DISCORD - BOT MESSAGES
Nerman will be active in the Discord posting useful things about the State of Nouns, social media, and anything else he can chime in on.
FEATURES
2. E.) DISCORD - ADMIN CONFIG
In the beginning Nerman will only be allowed in approved Discords under the devs watchful eyes. We will tweak, and improve, and help Nerman be the best bot he can be.
Once Nerman is a well built, reliable bot, we will build out a simple config system for people to install and configure Nerman to run in any Discord and share to any social media accounts.
FEATURES
Noun O'Clock bot is a very basic fork of Nerman that does two simple things:
This is currently running in several discords, including NounsDAO Japan and NIL. You can download and install the current version of Noun O'Clock here: https://nounoclock.wtf/
NEW FEATURES
Integrate new State of Nouns libray
Add more details to announcement link, including an image of the sold Noun, sale price, and buyer address.
Nerman surfs through social media (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instawhatever, etc), sharing, caring, looking for primo Nounish content to showcase. He is on a mission to automate his Twitter account. Nerman will try to figure out novel ways to find high quality Nounish content and decide which ones should be shared to @NermanBot. This will take some experimentation, we have ideas but will be trying them out and continuously refining.
FEATURES
If the DAO desires Nerman can eventually post directly to @NounsDao.
Nerman will maintain a presence in the old web at https://nerman.wtf. There will be some fun, basic info about Nouns DAO, a guide to following Nerman and Nouns activity, and a web app that displays voting stats from Discord polls.
FEATURES
Nerman will maintain a very basic site for Noun O'Clock. It's already complete.
https://nounoclock.wtf/
FEATURES
WHEN DO THINGS HAPPEN?! Nerman needs to know, and so do other Nounish bots. When a Nouns auction ends, when a proposal is created, when a Noun sells on OpenSea. Nerman needs these events, and the data associated with them.
State of Nouns is a standalone JS library for the Nounish community. Nerman will use it, and any other JS project can use it to accurately get events from all Nouns DAO activity.
Our first priority is developing this fully for Nerman. Afterwards we will package and release it as an open source, free standalone library.
FEATURES
provides access to all Nouns events across governance, NFTs, etc
will report all Noun transfers. Will report sale metadata if on OpenSea, LooksRare, or Zora
simple JS library that can be incorporated into other projects
user provides own Web3 connection details (supports various JSON-RPC options)
no centralized service, simply fork the code and run your own
Discord user roles are often verified with Collab.Land. Nerman will be able to function with existing User roles.
We will experiment with other options in a separate Discord, try to find a better way. We have specific advanced Nerman functionality we want to explore. There are solutions like The Guild and devcarrot's custom idea. A simple connection to ENS would also be great.
FUNCTIONALITY RESEARCH GOALS
connect Discord username -> wallet address -> Twitter username so we can correctly tag users on Twitter when sharing. This could be a custom app, or there might be existing tools we can use.
NOUNS: automating "Nouner" Twitter list to automatically add new Nouners, and remove Nouners who sell their Noun
if people have ENS with twitter and Discord usernames added we can tag people live as the Nouns auction bids happen, and we could send winners nice welcome messages on Twitter and Discord.
We will publish our findings as a guide for other communities to follow

All of these will need to be hosted and maintained over time. We will be in Discord and on Twitter paying attention to quality and listening to the community. We will publish the State of Nouns library on something like NPM, ensure it's accessible to devs, and answer questions from the community.
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
Nerman has been active since January: https://twitter.com/NermanBot/
The account has been operated manually by Joel Cares for about 5 months now (almost 3000 RTs!) and involves scouring Twitter for content daily. We will continue this for 6 more months, until Nerman is ready to automate the content curation and take over the reigns.
Once Nerman Bot is live, we will still loosely moderate the feed to ensure quality is kept high and nothing Vile comes through. As the algorithms are tweaked to perfection this moderation will no longer be needed.

Once Nerman is live these are our top priority use cases:
