RE: About the STEMsocial app proposal?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I guess the proposal may get more traction if people see that it solves a larger problem. Would the dapp you are creating serve other groups in the ecosystem with similar needs for a dedicated frontend? If money is spent on creating a dapp for one curation group, it seems more effective to make the dapp able to serve many curation groups who have similar use-cases.

I do not see why other front ends would like to borrow things here. However, the code is open source so that everyone is free to have a look and take anything: the way we are filtering tags and displaying posts, the curator platform that we plan to build (this one is more long term), our fresh post editor, etc. People do not have to ask, they can just help yourselves.

I would however like to clarify something important: STEMsocial is by far not only about curation or just building an app. The curation activities are part of our work, but this is only a fraction of it. We are trying to solve a problem: science communication.

In this context, the main goal of the project is to build a full science communication platform on Hive, so that actual scientists can share their work freely in a nice environment (that rewards them). Equivalently, we aim at having discussions about top-notch research by those who do this research. We believe (for more than 4 years) that being successful is valuable for Hive. For this reason, being funded by the DHF makes sense.

I think that you should restate this often and upfront on every post that you make about the effort and in the proposal itself. To me, the proposal seems to describe a curation effort, but in these two statements it seems to be much bigger.

Thanks a lot for this input. Indeed, we moved to a much more ambitious goal already 2 years ago, as explained with the first paragraph of our FAQ. I will emphasise that much more in the next posts.

I am planning to rewrite the proposal following the guidelines presented by blocktrades (here). I do not know whether I will have time tonight, but I will try.
