Bridge and ICON documentation
Project category: Development
Project duration: 6 months
Project description
Bridge
A few months ago we began working on the design for Bridge, a project that will help general users interact with blockchain applications. We offered our services free of charge because we didn’t want to paywall design, and our P-Rep rewards were enough to cover our costs. That’s no longer the case, and as resources are limited, we haven’t been able to put as much time into Bridge as we’d hoped. With a grant, we can make meaningful adjustments to our existing workload so we can commit more time to it.
ICON documentation
A large amount of the documentation for ICON is out of date or incomplete, particularly the documentation for P-Reps found on icon.community, and for developers through icondev.io. It’s crucial to keep ICON content up to date and easy to digest so we can provide the best onboarding experience for P-Reps and developers – especially if we want newcomers to take the project seriously.
It’s not enough to simply create content: we also need to do a good job at maintaining it. After we finish our work on Bridge, we’d like to dedicate some of our time every week to make it better. This will mostly be done by Lisa, who’s spent more than 3 years writing and editing documentation, in-app wording, and marketing content for 1Password.
If given a grant for these projects, it will also free up more of our time to give Balanced the attention it deserves, and begin projects aimed at the average user, like TwentyFour.
