[BS] DOT #1573 - Polkadot Community Foundation - Polkadot App

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1573

Polkadot is making a new app for beginners in crypto. The app will be easy to use and help people learn about Polkadot and other cryptocurrencies. The Polkadot Community Foundation (PCF) wants money to finish making the app and make it better. They need money for things like making the app, paying people to work on it, and making sure it's safe and legal.

The app will be good for new people who want to learn about Polkadot and for people who already know about it. It will help more people learn about Polkadot and become part of the community.

The PCF needs money for different things like making the app, paying for people to work on it, and making sure it's safe and legal. They have a plan for how they will spend the money and they want to talk to the community about it.

I thought this was supposed to be live months ago?

I believe it would be better served with a more lean, hungry team that can be compensated by finding product market fit and adoption, rather than a team where the ownership and ultimate success is unclear (e.g. split between Parity employees, Novasama employees, PCF, other contractors, etc.). Ideally the team can unlock more funding via equity or metrics achieved rather than just being paid a consulting rate (or salary at Parity). Additionally, it would be good to understand how the rates in this proposal differ from what the W3F was using for funding (if at all different)

Wasn't this supposed to be delivered a while ago? We also share similar concerns expressed by W1ZSPR3.

This proposal is far too expensive for an onboarding app with unclear ownership and slow delivery. Instead of building another wallet-heavy experience, why not leverage Web3Auth or zkLogin authentication primitives that enable seamless sign-in with Google or FB accounts via OAuth, creating a non-custodial wallet? Sometimes, the solution must meet the needs of its potential users, whether Web3 or Web2 users. Giving users at least a chance for a solution without requiring to manage seed phrases. On a positive note, Raise integration is a promising step. But for now it's a Nay.

I share the same comments as the other DAO members. In addition, I also share the disappointment of not seeing this product already available months ago.

It's a pity this app has disappointed the community. Not sure about it will be a success. Why not integrate its features to current wallets?
