Hey everyone,
I’m not sure if something like this already exists in Nervos, but I came across the idea and thought it was really cool, so I wanted to share it here for discussion.
The basic concept is a Community Idea Board where people in the community can suggest ideas for things that should be built, builders can then apply to build those ideas, the community chooses the builder, and then the builder delivers.
To me, this feels more community-driven than the usual flow. Builders can still absolutely do things the regular way and submit their own proposals, this wouldn’t replace that. It would just add a more community-first path in parallel, where the community helps decide both what should be built and who should build it.
Why I think it’s interesting
A lot of good ideas get lost because they stay as random forum posts. At the same time, builders often don’t have a simple way to see what the community actually wants to see built.
This could create a simple weekly flow:
- People submit ideas.
- The community votes on the best ones.
- The top ideas move forward.
- Builders apply with a concrete proposal.
- The community votes again on the builder.
- The selected builder delivers the work.
What I like about it
What I really like is that it keeps the community involved twice:
- first, when deciding what is worth building;
- second, when deciding who should build it.
That feels a lot more alive than just a normal brainstorming thread.
Important note
I’m not saying this would mean a guaranteed grant or that community voting replaces the normal funding process.
More like: it could be a strong signal of interest, help reduce risk, and make proposals much better prepared before they go into any official funding process.
Questions for the community
A few things I’d love to hear opinions on:
- Would something like this actually be useful for Nervos?
- Should it be limited to 3 ideas per week, or should that be flexible?
- How do we make sure the vote is about quality, not just popularity?
- Should builders need to include portfolio, budget, and milestones?
- Would this be better as a forum process, or as a proper tool/app later?
Curious to hear what people think.
大家好，
我不确定 Nervos 里是不是已经有类似的东西了，但我最近看到这个想法，觉得挺酷的，所以想拿出来和大家讨论一下。
这个基本概念是做一个 社区创意板：社区成员可以提交想法，大家先投票选出最值得推进的几个；然后 builder 们可以主动报名，说明自己愿意怎么做、报价多少、需要多久、以及能投入多少承诺；最后社区再对这些 builder 方案投票，选出最合适的人来执行。
我觉得这比传统流程更“社区驱动”。builder 当然还是可以走正常路径，直接提交自己的 proposal，这个不会被取代。这里只是额外加一条更偏社区主导的路径，让社区不仅决定 做什么，也决定 谁来做。
为什么我觉得这个想法有意思
很多好想法都会因为只是停留在论坛帖子里而被埋掉。与此同时，builder 们也常常没有一个很直接的方式去看到社区真正想要建设什么。
这个机制可以形成一个比较简单的每周流程：
- 大家提交想法。
- 社区投票选出最好的几个。
- 排名前列的想法进入下一阶段。
- builder 提交具体 proposal。
- 社区再对 builder 方案投票。
- 最终选中的 builder 负责交付。
我喜欢它的地方
我最喜欢的是，它会让社区参与两次：
- 第一次，决定什么值得做；
- 第二次，决定谁来做。
这会比普通的“头脑风暴帖子”更有生命力。
重要说明
我并不是说这样就意味着一定能拿到 grant，或者说社区投票可以替代正常的 funding 流程。
我的意思更像是：这可以作为一个很强的兴趣信号，帮助降低风险，并且让 proposal 在进入正式 funding 流程之前就准备得更充分。
想听听大家的看法
我想问几个问题：
- 这种方式对 Nervos 来说会有用吗？
- 每周限制 3 个想法合适吗，还是应该更灵活？
- 怎么确保投票是在选质量，而不是单纯比人气？
- builder 是否应该提交 portfolio、预算和 milestones？
- 这个流程更适合先做成论坛机制，还是以后再做成一个正式工具/app？
很想听听大家的想法。
