Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

nouns.wtf

idea for nouner scout round - abstract away the prop house ux for the proposer. ye or ne?

Hm I might be misinterpreting the target audience

I think so. We're so used to the prop house UX and all that but it may be confusing/intimidating for someone who is unfamiliar with all that, which didn't occur to me until now.

If these folks are new to Nouns I'd add some more on why they should care. Nouns manage an $XM treasury, have done XYZ cool things, etc

does better ux meaningfully help get awesome to submit themselves?

lol and i posted this in all the channels gg

little spelling error: pickle as in pickled cucumber. a pickel is an ice axe 🤝

I agree with this 💯 some of the most Nounish people I know haven’t ‘shipped’ anything - that’s normally a development term,, they may not have a ‘large’ following ex) 4156 (148k+), haven’t created a movie etc but they show up everyday, onboard people, participate in irl & online Nouns activities etc

imo too much bias in the framing on left/ may scare a lot of interesting and uniquely attractive ppl away because they haven’t shipped irl. Our greatest members may yet be ppl that only truly self-actualize in the context of nouns itself. 

Let’s invite everyone with a beating heart to bid

ye as it seems like a great place to experiment w ux results 

have had a hunch for a while now that more expansive ui/ux surrounding nouns native imagery could be an unlock - need to test tho

Ah very good points! Similar to why I put it in my prop, it's saying, "put me in coach, I want to play!"

i think nominations are great when there is extreme high trust (ie we know verbs, noundry artists would _want_ to play nouns).. nominating someone without their explicit signal to want to play isn't great. we likely end up giving vitalik a noun when he doesn't care for it

Is there any benefit to this being nominations rather than putting oneself up for it? Similar to how props went up for recent noun recipients. 

I mean I'm not against this self nod path (I put it in my prop 😅 ) but highlighting others feels like an interesting mechanic already in play.

I think even just a simple landing page that explains the round and redirects the user right to the page where you write your proposal in prop house would be enough to help set the context a bit better for the proposers.

You could do this by suggesting some specific topics we would like to hear about. For example, you could add “Why do you interested in Nouns?”, “What are some thing(s) you have created that you are proud of?”, or “What is something you think Nouns could do better?”

I’m not sure the prop house UX is confusing enough to warrant creating a new frontend for that purpose. But, if you are going to then I would suggest helping guide the proposer on the structure of their proposal.

might be worth linking to the submission on prop house afterwards though for the curious to poke around

big yes. makes it about the project and gets rid of distractions for the uninitiated. maybe highlight a collection of projects to help them get a sense. like yellin sculpture, ethos, nouns deli, etc.
