A Full-Scale Rebuild of LeoFinance on Hive | We Need Your Help! Win Up to 20,000 LEO!

about 2 years ago

We're considering, in essence, full-scale rebuild of LeoFinance.io. Along with this would be a lot of structural improvements. Rewriting a lot of old/outdated code and ultimately aiming to build a much better product from the ground up.

We're asking you - the community - to help us design this rebuild. We can do anything during this process. Change elements that you may not like, build stronger foundations and ultimately create the best Web3 Social Media Product that the world has ever seen.

If you've been following our development trail, you'll notice a marked change in the rollout of new features and updates to existing ones. Building Threads has enabled us to design from scratch as opposed to fixing old frameworks.

Threads might live on the LeoFinance.io framework, but it exists in a sort of echochamber from the rest of our codebase. This allows us to iterate quickly on threads without worrying about breaking the rest of the UI. Building from scratch has allowed us to do some incredible things with Threads.

We're ready now to take that first principles thinking back to the broader LeoFinance UI. Our team is larger than it was when we first created LeoFinance.io and we have a lot more talent on the team as well. It's now possible to create the UI that we wanted to create with far better structural foundations.

Along with this rebuild will essentially be doing away with a lot of wasteful use of resources. We have some old elements of LeoFinance.io that are completely unnecessary and take away from the rest of the UI. We also have the opportunity to clean things up to focus on our broader roadmap which involves a deeper integration of what we believe to be the future of Web3: a full-scale platform with Microblogging, Blogging, Tokenization, DeFi and more. All of it is brought to you by the LeoUI.

Competition: Win Up to 20,000 LEO!

We're going to give away 20,000 LEO in this contest. It will be distributed based on accepted designs. If you submit designs for every single aspect of the UI and we choose your design for each aspect, then you'll get the full 20k.

The reality is that many will submit and we will likely pick and choose from each element and divide up the prize fairly amongst the winners.

This is quite a large undertaking and we want everyone to participate. If you want to show off a redesign for 1 page on the UI or even 1 small element, that's totally fine! We want to open it up to as many people as we can.

If you see someone else's design and think you can improve it, leave feedback to them. Get involved, share your opinion and help us build better.

How to Participate

To participate in this, we're looking for mockups of what you believe to be a better LeoFinance.io.

For example, take 1 page from the UI and redesign it. I'm writing this from the Publishing page and can already see a few elements that I would personally change if I were to rewrite the page from scratch.

So take the existing UI, pages, elements, etc. and then redesign them. Post the old vs. your new mockups in a https://leofinance.io post and make sure to include "redesign" in the tags.

Create a mockup for any page or element on LeoFinance.io
Show a comparision of the old vs. new and include some details about why you did what you did
Post 1 or all of your mockups/designs in a leofinance.io post and then tag with "redesign"
Bonus visibility if you copy/pasta the link to your post and post a thread with the link

Questions?

We're trying to keep this competition simple so it should be straightforward. Just redesign any or all of the Leo UI and post your designs in a post. We'll pick our favorite designs and dish out 20,000 LEO that we purchased to the winners. We may do more than 20k LEO depending on the # of participants but 20k will be the minimum prize going out.

Also, happy Hard Fork 26 🦁
