[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community.

Helps with on-boarding developers into the Cardano ecosystem quickly by removing barriers to entry by having a consolidated community driven index.

With a focus on young-people we can help with generational education of how they can take more control of their society using the tools of decentralisation. i.e. how can use Marlowe etc

Existing Site

The existing https://buildingoncardano.dev site has been maintained by myself for over a year.

[Project Milestones] What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

Create a JSON representation of the resources currently @ https://buildingoncardano.dev

• Based on current HTML website create JSON representation
• View JSON file at github.

Create a Developer Collab App.

• https://app.buildingoncardano.dev
• Can log on to the App, search for forum topics, find other developers & post/comment.
• Feedback for inclusion in the resources index.

Developer Collab App Will be SSI (Using Cardano Blockchain) enabled with "Logon Using DID" functionality.

• Forum will have logon as DID enabled.
• Ability to use Wallet (as SSI DID) to log on to the forum website.

Add AI/GPT Assistance.

• Chatbot linked to data (JSON Index) and associated data. Updating daily.
• Be able to chat with Chatbot.

All functionality is complete, with a final report and how-to-use presentation.

[RESOURCES] Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

• Developer

[BUDGET & COSTS] Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

• Create a JSON representation of the resources currently @ https://buildingoncardano.dev: 3000ADA
• Create a Developer Collab App: 22000 ADA
• Developer Collab App Will be SSI (Using Cardano Blockchain) enabled with "Logon Using DID" functionality: 5000 ADA
• Add AI/GPT Chatbot: 5000 ADA
• Worked.dev White Label: 2000 ADA

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

When entering a new technical ecosystem, it can be hard for a developer to get their bearings.

The quicker they can get their bearings, the quicker they can start creating within the Cardano ecosystem and creating solutions.

It is a small investment to help a lot of developers.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agrees to Fund Rules and also that data in the submission form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
