Summary & Motivation

Create “Song Dust”-- a platform for listeners to contribute to finding the best songs in fun categories.

We want listeners to have more fun things to do–especially those who can’t afford a whole NFT. Listeners can use small amounts of $SONG (aka Song dust) to vote on the existing corpus of songs in fun categories. If future voters agree with you, can earn more song dust, adding to game-like, fun aspect of it.

The voting process repeats in “seasons,” with a show (fun get-together) for each season where the best songs discovered during the season are enjoyed in a virtual party.

A great side-effect is everyone will have access to better ranking and categorization to help explore Song-a-Day.

Proposal

The team will build the “Song Dust” curation app in four epochs. Each epoch has specific deliverables subject to review and feedback from DAO members.

Since Song Dust will progress in seasons, there will be the opportunity to make changes to the platform based on learning from past seasons. This leaves the door open for future proposals. This proposal covers the features needed for season one, and the start (voting cycle) of season two.

A more detailed view of the Season 1-1.5 proposal is here. 2

Epoch 1: 💡 We decided to first design and implement the platform's core functionality due to some technical benefits and time reduction of the whole process. A category page is where you can see the list of nominated songs and able to perform two main actions; vote for a song(main flow) and nominate a song. [ ] Category page UI/UX design [ ] Front-end implementation setup [ ] Review the design Epoch 2: 💡 After reviewing the previous epoch’s UI/UX design, we go for full implementation of the category page. [ ] Full implementation of the Category page [ ] User test and feedback Epoch 3: 💡 After reviewing the feedback we gathered in the previous epoch we make the adjustments accordingly. [ ] Design Homepage [ ] Design Profile Page [ ] Update the preview section based on user tests and feedback in epoch 2 [ ] Review the design Epoch 4: 💡 This is the final epoch in which we Implement the two remaining pages, and then we go for user tests and feedback. This epoch may be split into two parts due to work adjustments based on the workload. [ ] Full implementation of the Homepage [ ] Full implementation of the Profile page [ ] User test and feedback [ ] Make adjustments accordingly Github Song Dust code is open-source. Progress can be charted on the team’s github repo 1.
