[FAULTY PREIMAGE, PLEASE REJECT] A Polkadot Ecosystem App Store
This is a proposal to tip 100 DOT for an ecosystem App Store that acts as a "front-page" for discovering Polkadot projects.
The MVP is live on: https://dotappstore.com
The codebase is open-source, available github.
Polkadot lacks a user-friendly application discovery platform, making it difficult for projects and users to find each other.
The current options like https://www.dotmarketcap.com/ and https://polkaproject.com/#/ have too much information, and leave the user overwhelmed and confused.
This app store is an attempt to create a listing platform for all projects building in the ecosystem and present them in a way that's familiar to users.
Potential follow on work: (out of scope for this proposal)
- Project search and filter features
- Dynamic app-specific pages
- User authentication for:
- Community upvote counter to rate projects
- Permissionless project listing
To be clear, the amount requested in this proposal ONLY accounts for the development work that's already been completed. It is a retro-active funding proposal.
The requested amount is 100 DOT @ 5 USD -> 500 USD.

My humble request to all voters
I would love to get your feedback on the proposal to understand and address your concerns as well as take your suggestions as inputs to shape the product.
I think this could be a consumer-friendly initiative to reduce information asymmetry for onboarding non-technical users to the ecosystem.
Do let me know what you think. Happy to answer any and all questions that you may have!
