What did we do last week?
  • Yves: soft-launch went well. Some issues still. Social Media share buttons. UI on mobile. What else has top priority moving on ? For content, we can have a dedicated meeting with Theophile.
  • MrPackman: Multisig page and translations were not ready for S1 MVP, but those are the next components to work on. For translations, there is some disconnect as to the content and how to deliver it. Frog said that we were supposed to link to substack and not republish. Not sure what the process is for the translations, like for the newsletter. There needs to be some discussion about how we will do this. Maybe not the devs decision. Conversation between Grendel, Frog and Yves.
  • Yves: Indeed, the newsletter was not supposed to be copy-paste. Theophile did that to have some full-size articles on launch. Going forward we should change this and brief Theophile more on it, although he is aware. I tested Subscribe at the buttom of the website, which is ghost pro infrastructure to subscribe to new website content and doesn't work yet. We can't use that for Substack, as they don't provide an API.
  • MrPackman: I remember Foxyblocks said that the Content Gateway guys could help with this but they are not ready yet, it will take time
  • Yves: Then we will have to work with a Newsletters page with links. Will brief Theophile about this.
  • Yves: the claim functionality is not needed anymore in short term. Super stoked we have the wallet connect and we should brainstorm in a next meeting on how can we make the wallet connect to have some fresh functionality.
  • MrPackman: I know we want to integrate Web3 stuff. There needs to be some other outcome that we want and not doing it just because we want Web3. We need to focus on what is it that we want to deliver. Some things in the mobile app do use Web3. Bounty board for example. Web3 is a tool and not a deliverable.
  • Yves: Good point. We don't have to use Web3 just for the sake of it. 2 projects are clear revenue now: Bed Index and Buy Merch. In the perfect world, I would see a button to do that straight from the website. Another use-case is to see NFT drops and buy directly from the website. Unlocking those on the website would make more sense than unlocking content with Web3 use.
  • MrPackman: What direction do we all want to go? The path for Season 2 is important to define. In Season 1 we didn't have a clear direction. Get the site up was clear but past that point, there are different things possible. We need to look at the list and see what we want to deliver on and see which ones first: Bounty Board? Are they ready? Maybe some discussions to have outside this weekly sync. BED Index? What should we do to make the responsible happy? We need to hook up with the teams to discuss this. Using the Content Gateway might take a long time. Defining what we want to do is important to keep the focus. To get the site online in a few days there was a lot of efficiency that I didn't see before. I felt that because we identified exactly what was needed, it created better teamwork. We need to try to replicate the steps we did then to get things done.
  • Yves: I think the BED Index page/post is for me the clearest one to do first.
  • MrPackman: The bounty system seems to work, sometimes it's not clear if someone already worked on it and it's only the final small thing that can finish it off. It's a team effort.
  • Yves: Yes, there is still room for improvement on coordination. It's an issue for different projects and DAO's in general. When there is some pressure that always helps. If there is no sense of urgency, it sometimes doesn't happen. Maybe we should also put pressure on some features, like the BED index: How must it look, what content, what call to action do we need. Maybe we should do this week-by-week. And try to get 1 new page/feature per week? For example: For Bed: do we link the graph? Sketch layout page ? .....
  • MrPackman: Yes, reach out to Bounty Board team, Degen Team. Maybe we can mimic what they do that is successful ? Standups can really work.
  • Yves: I used to tune in with the Dev meetings, but I had to skip them because they are difficult in my timezone. Because of that, I do feel disconnected.
  • MrPackman: I'm holding back as PM and Zberwaldt will start stepping in. It would be nice to have him fill my role. We also need a dev lead. Not sure Zberwaldt can do both. If not, there is a gap for somebody else to fill.
  • Yves: I also feel Zberwaldt is perfect as a technical project manager, if possible for him. I don't have enough Dev skills. These meetings are good to hear each other's voices, not always good to make decisions, like how to get the BED index up.
  • Zberwaldt: II told Icedcool I could maybe handle the PM role. I'm here the longest and would be the best fit for now, I want to try. I was thinking of doing only PM-work. We have Shoosh and Foxyblocks which are good in dev work. We can break tasks down in smaller chunks to make them better consumable.
  • MrPackman: yes, 3 devs is probably plenty.
  • Yves: That's exciting. You are a great fit! Makes me happy to hear! LFG
  • MrPackman: I want to help, so if you have questions Zberwaldt, I can help. Take a look at Content Gateway, NsHuman has put a lot of documentation around organization. Made me realize how much more effective the group can be with a good organization. I'm still around for questions and ideas, this is what I do for a living. I think you can do it Zberwaldt.
  • Zberwaldt: thanks, will definitely take you on that.
  • Yves: let's call this a wrap. The biggest pain point is addressed. Thanks MrPackman for still offering your expertise.
