Hi, thanks for the more detailed insight into your proposal here.

Frontend: Are you aware that Ecency has already put significant resources into the Breakaway community system - in association with SPK - that effectively enables anyone to run their own custom and open source version of Ecency?

Maybe you can explain why Frontend is needed in light of the funding for Ecency's breakaway project?

Invoicing: In the same vein, are you aware that there are already multiple systems that deliver invoicing on Hive? There's keychain Store for mobile (funded via keychain DHF) and also Hive Debit the upcoming debit card system. Plus also V4V.

So is there a need for another system that does similar?

I think one of the biggest annoyances I have with the development on Hive is that there is so much duplication. I can't think of any important feature that doesn't have at least 2 teams working on it in competition with each other - sometimes with both teams being funded. I appreciate that some people think that competition is good, but I think any benefit like that is lost when both are being funded regardless of success - since there is no commercial aspect.

I think you should probably rethink the problems you are aiming to solve.

It seems like the biggest problem from a development standpoint is the total lack of standardisation. This has led to a situation where almost all developers think that the code provided by other developers isn't worth using or high enough quality. If you could specify a coding standard system and modularisation/plugin system for Hive (not a simple task) then that would be the ultimate win from my POV. An example of what I'm talking about is the plugin system used in the Elgg open source social networking framework.

Cheers

Great feed back! Both of your examples - these modules are SIGNIFICANTLY different. That shall be my next post.

Especially ecency/breakaway i answered in the AMA, but good to write it out. This is a rapid deploy, show less front end. Not a place to write posts, is the simplest way to say it.

Not even a competitor. In fact, im talking with @starkerz about helping him with breakaway communities. Thats not a part of this proposal though.

Appreciate you - I can't unsee what I see, or unknow what I know. I need this feedback. I know it feels shilly, heck, I feel shilly. And someone said I should do it for a year of drips! LOL, would kill me.

But, you are appreciated!! For this, and in public!

Also, i must emphasize - i am not looking for work. I appreciate links, i do read and collect them. I will and would do many things, collaborate with all.

I have starred skatehive, ecency/breakaway, and many other repos in this journey. Breakaway will need a B2B rapid deploy module, in my estimation. Similar to other things we are doing (redhat style). Our model is sound.

This isnt some rando look for work proposal. Its a roadmap of things that need doing. And Im getting feedback!

We use keychain stuff for nearly everything; SpendHBD, possibly distriator and definitely HiveDebit will be using our HAF api for sure.

There is a disconnect, anyway, tomorrow is another day, another post. Blessings!!
