NYMHUB. Grant project

🪻 Nym Squad League Proposals
1

Hello, friends. In the near future, I will start creating NYMHUB for our community, it will be created on the basis of git so that in the future each Nymja smich can offer their changes to the content or add to it. I need your help with the sections that will be relevant there. At the moment I am thinking about:
Guides (Installing nodes, migrating nodes, etc.)
Events (All your offline or online events)
Services (Telegram bots, explorers, etc.)
Regional channels (Everything that will be useful in each specific region)
I become a member of NSL

SUDO Add:
Nym link repository (socials, github, docs, explorer, NymVPN, blog, etc etc.)
Squad repository: i think this needs a new place and it would be a great add to the NymHub

What do you think about it? What other categories would you like to see, and maybe you can give us some references for the visual style of the site?

Hey @Beyond, as discussed in private, this is a great idea. I hope other community members will collaborate with you on this project as well.

I would add:

  • Nym link repository (socials, github, docs, explorer, NymVPN, blog, etc etc.)
  • Squad repository: i think this needs a new place and it would be a great add to the NymHub

I’ll keep thinking and come back if I have something more.

Really looking forward to NymHub kicking off!

Hey @Beyond, I am super excited about the NymHUB initiative and the site already looks great. Can’t wait to full incorporate it into Nym community tooling. Here is my grant offer for you in line with the above and our private conversations, plus extended and refined according to current community needs. Let me know what you think!

Summary

The Nym community has produced many tools, resources and apps over the years, besides other contributions such as representing the project at various events, organizing meetups, and more. The Nym team has launched community programs such as the Nym Squad League, organizes and attends events all around the world, and maintains various community channels and groups across Telegram, Matrix, Discord and Twitter. Together this accounts for a huge amount of information, which currently lives on/in various different sites, platforms and repositories.

The goal of this grant is to build NymHUB as the unified Nym community resource, which has all community-related and produced information in one place.

Current community priorities

In order for the program to scale, the Nym Squad League needs a facelift both in terms of user journeys/UX and information architecture. NymHUB is the perfect tool to solve both and for the first sprints of NymHUB, I’d like to focus on building out the following.

Stage 1: NSL fundamentals (Fall Season)

  • New and improved NSL mission board
  • easy-to-navigate and comprehensive NSL documentation (most of this already exists in some shape but needs revision + better layout):
    → NSL explained: high level overview
    → how to join the Squad League
    → How can you contribute? Submissions and proposals, grants, missions
    → Ranks explained
    → Squad Wealth Fund explained
    → the seasons of NSL
    → etc.

Stage 2: NSL mastery (Winter Season)

  • integrated NSL registration/onboarding/progression
  • live leaderboard
  • NSL contribution highlights
  • Squad repository: the squads of the Nym community, their logo and members, what they do, what they believe in, where they can be found, their nodes and NSL contributions, etc.

Stage 3: continued improvements (Spring Season)

  • additional features we can’t think of now, but will arise during the building process and implementation
  • iterating based on user feedback
  • fixing bugs, UX and UI issues

Stage 4: maintenance (Summer Season and Beyond, no pun intended :slight_smile: )

  • Operating the site
  • updating content
  • etc.

Additional

Besides the NSL-related stuff, I’d like the following to make it to the site as well during the first 3 stages:
community groups and channels repository

  • community resources repository
  • community guides
  • community calendar

Grant amounts

Building phase: 150k NYM

  • Stage 1 (Fall Season): 50k NYM
  • Stage 2 (Winter Season): 50k NYM
  • Stage 3 (Spring Season): up to 50k NYM (to be decided later, depending on the feature list and work required)

Maintenance phase: 15k NYM/season (from Summer Season)

  • operational costs, server, hosting, etc.
  • monitoring, ensuring stable and secure ops
  • Ensuring smooth operation of the site.
  • Long-term maintenance and minor updates based on agreed priorities.

note: If we decide to build NymHUB further later, we can start a new build phase and agree on pricing for the added features.

Let me know what you think!

My Report on the NymHub Project: Completion of Phase 1 and Overall Progress

Mission Overview:
The NymHub project aims to create a platform to support the Nym community, incorporating features such as the NSL (Nym Squad League) mission board, integrated registration, leaderboards, and more, as outlined in the project stages. The goal is to build a user-friendly hub for community engagement and growth.

Phase 1: NSL Fundamentals – Completion Report:
I have successfully completed Phase 1 of the NymHub project, focusing on the NSL fundamentals. Here’s how the objectives were met:

  • New and improved NSL mission board: A functional NSL mission board has been created, providing a convenient space for community tasks.
  • Easy-to-navigate and comprehensive NSL documentation: The documentation has been developed, containing a high-level overview of the NSL.
  • NSL explained: A general description of the NSL has been added, explaining its purpose and structure.
  • How to join the Squad League: Instructions for joining the Squad League have been included, simplifying user participation.
  • How can you contribute? (Submissions, grants, missions): Guidelines for contributions, including submissions, grants, and missions, have been described.
  • Ranks explained: A section explaining the ranking system has been added.
  • Squad Wealth Fund: Information about the Squad Wealth Fund has been included.
  • Seasons of NSL: Details about the NSL seasons have been added for clarity on timelines and structure.
  • Etc.: Additional foundational elements, such as basic navigation and structure, have been set up to establish a strong foundation for further development.

Progress on Subsequent Phases:
In addition to completing Phase 1, I have also made progress on some aspects of the following stages:

  • Phase 2: I have started working on the integrated NSL registration/onboarding process, which is partially functional. Additionally, I’ve added initial details about the squads of the Nym community, including their logos and basic information, laying the groundwork for the squad repository.
  • Phase 3: I have addressed some UX and UI issues by incorporating user feedback. A focus group of 10 people was involved to evaluate the site, ensuring convenient navigation on both mobile devices and PCs. Their feedback helped improve the design for better display and usability.

Current State and Readiness:
The NymHub project is ready to launch as an MVP (Minimum Viable Product). The platform is operational, with intuitive navigation on both mobile devices and PCs, as confirmed by the focus group of 10 people who assessed the site’s usability and display. The site is prepared to onboard the Nym community for exploration and interaction with the platform.

Addressing Missing Elements:
As noted in the plan, there are a few aspects that still require attention:

  • UX: While initial UX improvements have been made, further research and refinement are needed based on feedback from external users and community members.

Conclusion:
Phase 1 of the NymHub project has been successfully completed, with some progress made in Phases 2 and 3. The platform is ready to launch as an MVP and can welcome the Nym community for exploration. Navigation is convenient on both mobile devices and PCs, as validated by the focus group of 10 people. I am prepared to continue improving the platform, taking into account community feedback and the remaining goals outlined in the project plan.

Nym Hub Development Plans for the Spring Season NSL (2025)

The Spring Season of the Nym Squad League (NSL) is just around the corner, and despite a slight delay in our timeline, I’m still aiming for the public launch of Nym Hub in the coming weeks. I’d like to share my plans for the platform’s development during this season to make it more user-friendly and valuable for the Nym community. Here are the key areas I plan to focus on:

  • Optimizing the NSL Registration Form
    I believe the current registration form is already quite convenient, but it could be more intuitive. Just yesterday, I was helping a participant from my region register, and I had to explain each field step-by-step, as it wasn’t entirely clear what was needed. I’d like to streamline the form to make it simpler and more user-friendly, especially for newcomers joining the NSL. If I’m granted access, I’m confident I can optimize it to improve the onboarding experience and reduce confusion.

  • More Frequent Leaderboard Updates
    To boost community engagement, I propose updating the leaderboard more regularly—at least once every 1-2 weeks. This will allow participants to see their results online in near real-time, keeping them motivated to contribute to NSL tasks. Frequent updates will add transparency and help the community track their progress more effectively.

  • Creating an NSL Contribution Highlights Page and Squad Repository
    I plan to create a dedicated NSL Contribution Highlights page to showcase the community’s achievements. This section will feature key contributions, share success stories, and inspire others to get involved. Additionally, I’d like to develop a Squad Repository—a page highlighting the squads within the Nym community. It will include details like each squad’s logo, members, mission, values, where to find them, the nodes they run, and their NSL contributions. This will help the community learn more about active squads and foster collaboration between teams.

These updates, in my opinion, will make Nym Hub more accessible and engaging for NSL participants while strengthening the sense of community. I’m open to feedback and eager to work on implementing these ideas to support Nym’s mission of creating a private and secure digital space!

Nym Hub Development Plans for the Spring Season NSL (2025)

The Spring Season of the Nym Squad League (NSL) has kicked off, and I’m excited to share the recent updates to Nym Hub that aim to enhance its functionality and community engagement. Here are the key improvements we’ve implemented for this season:

Updated Missions and Grants Visuals
We’ve revamped the visuals for missions and grants on Nym Hub, making them more visually appealing and easier to navigate. The updated design highlights key details, ensuring that NSL participants can quickly find and understand available opportunities to contribute and earn rewards.

Added a Bugs Page
To improve transparency and collaboration, we’ve introduced a dedicated Bugs Page. This section allows community members to report issues, track ongoing bugs, and follow updates on fixes, fostering a more responsive and interactive platform for all users.

Updated NSL Council Information and Payment Terms
We’ve refreshed the information about the NSL Council, providing clearer details on its role and processes. Additionally, the payment terms have been updated to reflect the latest policies, ensuring contributors have a better understanding of reward distribution timelines and conditions.

Updated Old Seasons with Reports and Leaderboards
The platform now includes comprehensive updates on past NSL seasons, featuring all reports and leaderboards. This archive allows the community to explore historical contributions, track progress, and draw inspiration from previous achievements.

Added Squad Information and NSL Highlights
We’ve introduced a new section with detailed squad information, showcasing each team’s mission, members, and contributions, similar to the existing Squad Repository. Alongside this, a dedicated NSL Highlights page now features the season’s top contributions, success stories, and impactful projects to inspire and engage the community.

These updates aim to make Nym Hub a more intuitive and inspiring platform for the Nym community, supporting NSL participants in their efforts to advance privacy. I welcome feedback to continue improving the platform as we progress through the season!

hey @Beyond, thank you for the contribution! As discussed in private, stage 2 can now be considered mostly completed:

The one major missing piece is integrated NSL registration/onboarding/progression, which we agreed will be delivered via other means. I am looking for someone to perform a comprehensive analysis of NSL UX and as part of that project we will get recommendations for improving the registration and onboarding flow.

For the work done from stage 2, plus all the other stuff listed in your post above, I can offer half of the original 50k NYM for stage 2, and reserve the other half for solving the registration problem in the future.
