Hey @jameskbh thank you for reading it through!
So, we don’t really think proposals.app is comparable to syncvote for example, but maybe more similar to lighthouse.cx or goverland.xyz, although both of these apps don’t show data for onchain proposals, and only show snapshot polls.
Currently, on proposals.app you can get daily email notifications for Arbitrum DAO offchain and onchain proposals, and also a custom email notification for when an onchain proposal is about to end and hasn’t met quorum yet. And if you add proposals.app as a shortcut app on your phone home screen, you will also get push notifications whenever there is a new proposal.
Also, proposals.app is the only platform of this kind, as far as we are aware, that is fully open-source, and therefor, if something were to happen to our team where we wouldn’t be able to maintain or continue the work on proposals.app, anybody else in the world could continue it, by forking our github repo and deploying their own instance. We believe this to be our fundamental difference, comparing to other players, since this forces us to work in the open and constantly designing and developing better functionality to support delegates and voters. This also makes our position to be more similar to a public good, and not a VC backed startup that needs to find a way to return value to their investors.
That’s why we believe that communities like Arbitrum DAO should fund our work, and that’s why we put forward this specific proposal.
Moving forward, what we are aiming for with this proposal is to design and develop a dedicated functionality for the Arbitrum DAO, that will live on arbitrum.proposals.app, that will aggregate the data for the whole lifecycle of every single Arbitrum DAO proposal, from the discussion in the forum, to the onchain execution. For this to be done successfully, it requires a mapping between forum post X, snapshot poll Y, and onchain proposal Z, that we will be doing retroactively for all past Arbitrum DAO proposals, and make sure to develop a system that can do that mapping for future Arbitrum DAO proposals as well.
If you have any further questions, please reach out!
Thank you once again for taking the time to go through our proposal!
