Loved the proposal. As a project owner of Urbanika, I really appreciate the following:
-Ways to interact with donors, such as the Ask a question, and the reactions and commentaries from the updates.
-Subsections! that will make it easier to divide info.
Within these subsections I suggest to have a way to show the theory of change of a project. I was inspired to create Urbánika’s one from a Giveth post, so it would be great if we could show it, also is a way to keep accountable.
On this same line, the metrics and how we are advancing on them, would be great for both donors and project owners.
For donors, it is an accountability feature. What have done with my support? tangible and not lost in the updates section.
For project owners we are nudged to professionalize, and upskill to show our progress towards the future we are building. This should be optional to show, as there might be projects that may not have metrics to show -such as one time campaigns.
Following the metrics point, it comes to my mind the need for a progress bar on the budget we are asking, so a subsection of budget would enable donors to know how much it is needed, and how far away is the project to getting it. This can be used as a marketing campaign for project owners to ask: “hey we are $300 away from our goal, pls support us!”
Returning to the updates section… It is very weird. The other day it took me like 30 min to post an update because it was asking me to shorten it down, until it didn’t make much sense to share the message. I passed from being hyped about sharing the news to being bored and frustrared on the length and format…
Also it was taking like 100 chars away from just hitting ENTER (going into another line).
Ok.
If I may, I would like to suggest having the option to display the campaign in at least two different languages.
Well, getting back to your original proposal.
Only donors. Why? I’ve had local businesses that appear in Google Maps. It happened to me that on the first day of launching I received a commentary of a person saying that the sandwich was terrible…
We didn’t even inaugurate the place when that commentary arrived. And also, Anna received a threat of an Indian dev saying he will put 10000 bots giving bad commentaries and bad rankings to the company she was working on if they didn’t pay $XXXX by the next day.
I think you understand the point. Donating is a spam filter.
Thanks for the incredible proposal. Looking forward to seeing it live.
Best wishes, Giveth fam.
