Before starting the discussion about a new version of the DXDAO homepage, I will quickly introduce myself.
I’m Nolan Vanmoortel full-stack developer in Belgium.
I have worked in various fields such as risk management for a hedge fund, an automated fall detection system for elderly people in hospitals(using Time of flight) and currently in intellectual property to help major brands to detect any copyright infringement(with AI and machine learning).
As a full-stack I operate both in the front-end (React, Redux, materialUI) and in the back-end (NodeJS, java, C#, Go etc…). I’m also lucky to have been able to work for almost 2 years on artificial intelligence projects (Pytorch).
Now that it’s done, here is my proposal.
We should update the DXDAO homepage to make it more attractive and to the standard of what is currently done.
Here’s how I think we should structure the pages:
The homepage should contain few elements, a very shortdescription of what a DAO is, our different featuredproducts with a link to their pages and the latestprojectin progress in order to attract curiosity about our discussion/voting/development process.
The projects page, a summary of the different projects and you can select a specific projet to get an overview, roadmap and a complete description of each project .
The community/governance page, there we will have a timeline with the different steps to reach a consensus. 1. discussion on the different chats (keybase, telegram, discord) 2. draft proposal on daotalk 3. proposal on Alchemy
The information page, where you can have all the important information about the token, the governance, the distribution etc… if possible presented in a much more design way than a whitepaper.
The goal is really to make all this as design/clean as possible and encourage people to join us in this adventure.
If you’re interested and if this project is not urgent (because I’m still on a full time mission) I propose myself as a developer. This will be my first project that could lead to my full time transition to DXDao in November If you appreciated my collaboration.
I will keep this post up to date with my creative process.
Feel free to comment or discuss my choices
So the first step is to define all the user profiles that will come on our website.
I have identified 4 different profiles: tech enthusiast, investor, DXDao member and job seeker.
Tech enthusiasts want to know more about the technicalaspect of the DAO or about the projects developed by the DAO.
They are already familiar with the technical terminology used.
Needs :
Which stack is used by DXDao to manage its governance?
More technical information on the stack (holographic consensus, REP, DXD, GEN)
How to reach a consensus? (Chronology from the simple discussion on the Keybaseto the formal proposal on Alchemy)
What will be the future products of DXDao and maybe the new features of existing products?
Investors want to know the economics of the DAO and its DXD token.
As their time is often limited, we need to give them a brief description and focus on what will allow an appreciation of the price of the DXD token.
Needs :
What is a DAO? (in simple terms)
What is the DXD token and how will the price go up? (token economic)
Roadmap for future projects? (high level)
What is the current or futureincome?
Information about the bounding curve? Mechanism + current states
Team working for the DAO (can be pseudonymous)
DXDao members want to stay informed.
They are very aware of all the technical part but want to stay up to datequickly on the latest news.
Needs:
Current status of the boundary curve
Team working on the DAO
Roadmap
All useful links
List of tasks to be performed
Jobseekers want to work findtasks to do, understand how to join DXDao.
Most of them already have a good knowledge of web3 and ethereum, but we still need to explain the concepts so we don’t stay in our silos.
The next thing to think about is the theme.
We have several choices.
A serious and simple theme (as we have now). Good readability, investor friendly.
A more creative/futuristic theme. Easily memorable, will attract more attention.
A more fun/meme theme. Trendy, kek, unicorn, will attract degeninvestors.
Personally I think that keeping a serious theme is the bestoption because it allows us to go to the essentials and take less risk. It doesn’t mean that the communitycan’t be FUN, the success of chainlink is proof of that.
@vanmoortel this outline is great.
I agree that serious (and slightly tech feel) theme is good. Maybe adding some slight creative recognizable identifier would be cool too. Not a Mascot, but something that can be used across DXdao’s entire ecosystem.
@KadenZipfel
Yes, we need to have a simple “dashboard” to monitor all the DAO’s activities.
@sky
Yes, I agree, I was thinking of putting a little more effort on a loading screen for example that could perhaps be reused within our different apps.
But that’s probably a job to be done in coordination with a graphic/designer.
Thanks everyone for your feedback ! Truly appreciated :
