# # About Me * Name: nounspaceTom * Social handle(s): [@nounpaceTom]() # Software Description The community-owned Farcaster client where you can **customize** the look, sound, content, and functionality of your profile and dashboard with **themes**, **tabs**, and a growing library of mini-apps called **Fidgets**. Create, customize, and explore on [nounspace.com](http://nounspace.com) # Making Nouns More Accessible, Useful, or Fun nounspace is both Accessible, Useful, and Fun :) It's the ultimate platform for nounish communities to share the vibes, content, and functionality they wish, whether that content originates on Farcaster, onchain, or beyond. Beyond nounish communities, nounspace's customizability and Fidgets are accessible, useful, and fun for all users and communities on Farcaster. Our solution isn't to build the ultimate social app ourselves, but rather to give users, developers, and communities the platform to build their own ecosystem together. If nounspace achieves its mission of building the future of social, it will raise awareness for the entire ecosystem of Nouns and Nounish communities, scalably and sustainably proliferating ⌐◨-◨ in a way that's accessible, useful, and fun for all. # Previous Relevant Work Development on nounspace began on April 1, when nounspace received a $100k grant from the [[prop.house](http://prop.house) round]() to fund 3 Nounish Farcaster Clients. Since then, we've delivered a beautiful MLP of an incredibly nounish Farcaster client that everyone can use. Status of features outlined in the proposal: ✅ **Fidgets** - open source sandboxed mini-apps that can be used as building blocks for spaces. [![wtf](https://nounspace.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmbVZA8zZpN4x8i4kbjAQGcF65HoZt1aet7PaTANUbvH2h "https://vimeo.com/1011777733")](https://vimeo.com/1011777733) Eleven powerful fidgets are live now, with more being added weekly, and we’re working on a full suite of developer tooling to empower anyone to build and deploy their own Fidgets for any nounspace user to use. The Nounish Governance Fidget demonstrates how Fidgets leverage composability to enable compatible contracts or subgraphs to share the same UI/UX. The Frame and iFrame Fidgets are particularly magical, and have already opened pandora's box, demonstrating infinite creative possibilities within the platform. Fidgets live now ߷ - Frame - Pinned Cast - Feed (supports both Farcaster & the other app) - Image - Video - Text - Iframe - ⌐◨-◨ Governance - SnapShot - Links - RSS We've only scratched the surface of what's possible with Fidgets. Which Fidget(s) do you think should we build next? ✅ **Spaces** - customizable personal pages where users can layout fidgets and frames ✅ **Homebase** - a private customizable feed and dashboard ✅ **Themes -** change colors, fonts, drop shadows, and more (even completely freeform css) ✅ **Music -** use any youtube video or playlist to give each space its own theme song ✅ **Tabs (just launched!) -** multiply the power of Themes, Fidgets, and Music by adding additional pages to a space or homebase as tabs. Beyond the features pledged in our original proposal, we've also launched initial versions of the following core features: ✅ **Theme Templates -** select from 10 pre-configured theme templates, complete with Fonts, Fidget Styles, and Backgrounds, and (optionally) add your own modifications. ✅ **Search -** search for any Farcaster user by username, FID, or verified wallet addresses. ✅ **Explore -** a curated selection of customized spaces across a variety of topics, with Nounish projects featured on top. ✅ **Notifications -** get notified for relevant Farcaster activity, such as likes, recasts, quote casts, replies, and follows. Beyond shipping a loveable, feature-rich v0, we also launched… ## nOGs NFT collection Granting our earliest supporters access to premium features for life.

Nouns, Public Nouns, Gnars, Yellow Collective, Purple, and VRBS. However, when we announced on September 12th that 2M $SPACE was allocated to existing nOGs holders, and another 1M $SPACE would be dropped to nOGs holders in October, we ended all free sales except the one for Nouns holders.

As a result, we were rewarded with a 2 ETH grant from the Onchain Summer Hackathon.

Since launching alpha, we've been catching up on the core features that users of Farcaster or any social network come to expect, such as Search, Notifications, and improvements to the Feed and Casting UX. We also addressed user feedback, squashed bugs, and added some key Fidgets: Video, Links, Swap, SnapShot, and RSS. We look forward to continuing to build upon this solid foundation one step at a time until we achieve our mission. Ultimately the nounspace team's roadmap will be agile, flexible, and guided by user feedback and the results of ongoing experiments. Here are some of the ideas we're tentatively planning or considering based on the feedback we've received thus far: 1. **Bug fixes** + **Polish** + **Improvements** First and foremost, we look forward to improving the app based on feedback from nounspace’s growing userbase and community. We’ve already received some great feedback and bug reports from community members and shipped dozens of fixes and improvements, and look forward to continuing this trend. 2. **Native iOS and Mobile apps** We’ve already invested a lot of thought into nounspace’s mobile UX, and have clears plans to enable the full suite of nounspace functionality on mobile, including theme customization, fidget configuration, fidget usage, and core farcaster functionality in a cohesive experience that’s easy, accessible, and fun. We have the backend, mockups, and team ready to make this a reality, as well as users that are already attempting to use and requesting nounspace on mobile. Check out these sneak peaks of nounspace mobile, which demonstrate the smooth UX & awesome power of navigating Feeds and Fidgets from the palm of your hand.

We have some exciting ideas for how to make nounspace the best place to manage, apply to (see [upcoming changes to channels]()), or participate in channels, but the first milestone is to ship the core MLP feature and bring the power of Fidgets & customization to Farcaster channels. [View spec]() 4. **Proactive Space & Homebase Customization** With each new user that customizes their space, the nounspace network grows in value. Thanks to the rich data available from Farcaster's Social Graph and the corresponding onchain history for each user, nounspace can kickstart these network effects by programatically adding and configuring Fidgets on user's spaces and homebases before they ever log in. This flattens the learning curve and creates a magical onboarding experience for new users by providing immediate value. 5. **Direct Messages** We look forward to implementing Farcaster DMs as soon as they're supported on the protocol. 6. **Smart URLs** By enabling sharing themes, fidgets, and/or tabs via URLs, we can empower both users and their communities to quickly and easily share the magic of nounspace with one another. Smart URLs serve multiple purposes that are core to nounspace’s strategy to provide the best platform for users and communities to both explore the online universe as well as share the look, sound, content, and functionality they wish with their audiences. Further, we can maximize the virality of this strategy by displaying results publicly and rewarding successful creators, referrers, and communities with $SPACE. [View spec]() 7. **Smart Contract Fidget** Read from or write to any function on any contract. With a simple, no-code UX for creating, customizing, and sharing smart contract data and interactions via Fidgets, nounspace is not only a website builder, but a dapp builder. Not only do we need this ourselves for contract interactions related to $SPACE (ie. approving and staking stETH or $SPACE, claiming $SPACE rewards), but it's yet another infinitely powerful Fidget that can benefit any user or project that utilizes smart contracts. [View spec]() or [clickable prototype]() 8. **Fidget SDK, smart contracts, developer experience, review process, and marketplace** Enable developers to quickly and easily build and deploy fidgets in a way that’s both flexible and secure. Because nounspace is basically composed entirely of fidgets, getting this part right is essential. We’ve drafted the architecture as well as the [factory contract]() for deploying, using, and updating Fidgets. We did this in collaboration with [Morpheus](), who had already started working on a spec for “[Non Fungible Agents]( when we realized we had the technically-identical goal give users to access to an infinite library of flexible, permissionless, and secure third-party apps. This is a huge win-win, not only enabling interoperability between Fidgets and Agents (ability to use agents deployed in the Morpheus ecosystem alongside fidgets on nounspace), but also saving development costs for both projects and resulting in recurring revenues for nounspace in the form of MOR emissions to code contributors. If you’re a developer excited to build fidgets, stay tuned for the Fidget SDK and join the [#fidget-devs]() channel in our discord server in the meantime. [Testnet demo]() 9. **More Nounish Fidgets** Auction fidgets, Agora/delegation fidgets, fidget where you can easily add ⌐◨-◨ to any image? Yes, yes, and 1000% yes. The Nounish Governance Fidget is live now and features 25 nounish communities (if yours is missing, [make a PR]() or [ask Tom]()!). Let us know which nounish fidgets you’d like to see next!
