Currently, if someone has a shiny idea (no matter whether it’s software, political, or whatever else) it often just remains in his mind because there is no easy way to get anything done with it. Or sometimes the person performs a Rambo for a few months on some website, git repo, or whatever - and then it dies.
I want to eliminate this common pipeline, and make it easy to create projects (or find them if they already exist), join them, develop them, maybe provide crypto rewards, progress tracking, etc. Every shiny new idea would fit into this framework. And it would help it not die. But I don’t know how exactly to do it. I suspect the components for it already exist, it’s just a matter of putting them together.
We could have a database spread by torrents or other decentralized protocol that would list all the existing projects to join. And it might be hooked up to some website that would provide an UI for comments, crypto rewards, and progress tracking. The point of all this to me, is so that human effort and ingenuity isn’t wasted because it’s just too hard to launch. Which is what’s commonly going on today. The Rambo loses steam and disappears.
What do you think?
Would you rather have a big community, or a few people who actually are competent? The problem with having a big community is that it becomes diluted with irrelevant people and eventually enshittified, as seen with your previous chat. It would make more sense to focus on building connections to actual competent and like minded people, instead of having a big place for discord privacy refugees and the like.
