About this idea
More detail
Build a MVP Github extension which allow Github project owner to reward/incentivize the contributors, it can either be public or private repository, beside being rewarded for PR contributions, contributors can also choose to NFT each PR where it could also be used for their portfolio/resume if they are looking for jobs.
Why Cardano?
Cardano being low transaction fees, yet fast advantage create more opportunities for anyone want to contribute to any projects, the PR dosen't have to big enough to get rewarded, can can be small alignment, some text typo, the contributor still can get a small token of appreciation, this will give projects(on GitHub repo) with our extension a boost for community awareness, more developers will be more willing to contribute when they are incentivize.
Cardano will be the first BlockChain to NFT the GitHub PR, this will give boost of Block-chain real world use case.
How it can be done:
First phrase* will which is simplified in the attached Image, We need to build a simple GitHub extension which some action hooks, most works will still be done manually.
- Assuming that this Repo have installed the extension, anyone creating a PR will ask for ADA address
- When PR created, bot will reply with some info, thanks for the contribution and telling this PR contributor about the incentive reward if he haven't add ADA address, provide a Like button if he like to NFT this PR.
- PR approved.
- Manually send this contributor ADA, amount will be decided by repo owner, reply in the merged thread about ADA sending infos to this contributor.
The MVP is not difficult to build, aiming for 3 months.
How funds will be distributed
- 1 backend developer working on GitHub extension: 2000 * 3 mont
- 1 frontend developer working on GitHub extension: 2000 * 3 month
Total: 12000
Each 2000/month/dev are distributed equally in each PR developers created the info should show as my description above, it's fully transparent and at the same time we are learning while we building this product.
Btw I am also looking for Backend and Frontend Dev, if you are interested to help out this project Ping me !
