Welcome to "Request & Offers - HC/MVP" Litepaper

A hAppenings.community project to facilitate exchanges between Holochain Creators & Advocates!

Introduction

We’ll make a giant leap and imagine that if you’re reading this Litepaper, you are most likely a Holochain Creator (Designer/Developer) or a Holochain Enthusiast/Advocate. That being said, we’d like to share an idea and get your input and wisdom about our proposed project “Requests & Offers - HC/MVP”.

The Concept

First, let’s look at our personal distinction between an ‘Enthusiast’ and an ‘Advocate’. Enthusiasts are excited about the concepts of Holochain, which is fantastic! For us, Advocates also want to be in active support of the Holochain Ecosystem, and sometimes for specific Holochain Projects.

The idea is to create a simple Holochain application (hApp) that facilitates the Creators/Projects/Developers' ability to reach out to the Holochain Advocates with specific requests to support their various Holochain Projects. It will be built on Holochain, and of course, be open source. We desire to have it roughly built on TimeBanking/LETS design ideas, along with the possibility of including a Mutual Credit Currency component.

So, the Creators request what they want, and the Advocates share what they’d enjoy offering to the Ecosystem. It’s a simple, basic application (a Minimal Viable Product or MVP), that allows us to practice exchanging with each other!

Part of the inspiration to build this hApp is to engage those who are Holochain Advocates to see they have a great opportunity to participate in the Ecosystem by supporting the Projects. Advocates (who may be HoloHosts) have a wealth of talents to tap and want to feel useful, valued, and included in the Holochain community.
