This is the third proposal in recent weeks requesting funds to build something new for Gitcoin and/or Allo. For context, here are my responses on the other two recent ones: Impact Passports and Impact QF and Community Knowledge Base for LLM.
tl;dr - I like the ideas and the teams, but I don’t like the principle of funding external teams to build prototypes that haven’t undergone any initial user testing. I feel these proposals would be 10X more compelling if they had a working prototype or at least some wireframes. Call me crazy, but this should be a requirement for funding any team proposing something that hasn’t shipped yet.
Given this is NOT how we currently do things, let me respond to the substance of the request.
I agree with the problem statements identified by the YOLLOW team, namely, that Gitcoin should be experimenting with new donation interfaces. I also appreciate the push to ship something before ETH Denver. Having skimmed the thread, I can also see that there’s been a lot of feedback that the team has responded to wrt to budget and ROI from other stewards. I won’t be a blocker, and am willing to vote in support of this proposal provided it maintains the support of Gitcoin’s product leadership.
