Gamify and simplify Retro Funding App

General
1

After diving deeper into Optimism Retro Funding and its underlying concepts (notes here: GitHub Notes), I realized that Retro Funding is a highly versatile tool. It can effectively support various scenarios, such as:

  • Funding KOLs based on their performance.
  • Supporting writers for impactful articles or posts.
  • Rewarding developers for meaningful PRs.

However, building a functional system based on this idea and ensuring it works seamlessly can be challenging.

I recently came across the easy-retro-pgf tool from the Gitcoin team (GitHub Repository). Although I haven’t explored it in depth, it seems somewhat complex, many processes.

My Questions:

  1. What is the simplest Retro Funding design?
  • From workflow, features, and UI perspectives, how can we create a streamlined and general framework that covers 80% of common scenarios?
  1. Can we gamify the process and workflow?
  • How can we make Retro Funding engaging, fun, and community-driven to encourage broader participation?

My Actions:

  • Deeply test and explore the easy-retro-pgf tool to understand its strengths and limitations, focusing on potential improvements.
  • Design a new app or refine the existing easy-retro-pgf tool to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.

Feel free to join the discussion, share your ideas, or provide feedback after testing the easy-retro-pgf tool. Let’s collaborate to improve Retro Funding and make it an even more powerful tool for rewarding meaningful contributions. Thanks.

Integrating gamification with a clear funding roadmap could really set this apart from traditional solutions.
