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 
)
- 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!
