The current setup for any DAO has a complicated governance model, highlighting the need for a solution that not only simplifies things but also adds a personal touch to help new users get started.\n\nChora Club will also be the platform for aspiring delegates who can add value by answering questions from new users and as a result, increase their trust and voting power from new users.\n\nPresently, the common approach involves new users visiting the website and navigating through unorganized documentation or vast content that has been added over time. A lack of a structured, step-by-step guide contributes to an overwhelming experience, resulting in user dropouts. Additionally, forums and Discord channels lack organization, making direct connections problematic and leading to decreased engagement.\n\nAs the DAO evolves, it accumulates information from past seasons, proposals, discussions, and manuals, creating a complex layer of information. This complexity can overwhelm new participants, confuse them, and can lead them to leave the ecosystem.\n\nOffice hours are held by various DAOs, but they occur on various third-party platforms. Sometimes, recordings of these office hours are available if the host records them and shares the link on the forum, but at other times, they are not. Delegates and hosts schedule calls on the calendar, but there are no notifications for users to join unless they check the calendars themselves.\n\nAdditionally, there is no designated space for new users to ask questions or seek clarification regarding the DAO and its governance. While they can reach out to delegates for assistance, there is no on-chain record of a delegate's contribution if they help a new user. This contribution can be utilized by delegates if they record it on-chain, thereby increasing their trust and voting power among new users.", "hidden": false, "question": "Please describe your dApp or App, focusing on its innovative utility or service within the ecosystem.

They start exploring Arbitrum, sifting through heaps of documentation on forums and Discord channels, but soon find themselves overwhelmed and unsure where to start.\n\nThese new users have all sorts of questions swirling in their minds for example, \n\n- \"Where can I find reliable resources to learn about the DAO's councils? \n- Are there any programs offering grants for projects right now? \n- How can I pitch in and contribute to the DAO? \n- What exactly is a token?\" \n\nSadly, there's no dedicated space or scheduled sessions for them to get these questions answered. They're left without a platform to connect directly with delegates and seek guidance.\n\nNow, looking at things from the delegates' perspective, when they take the time to respond to these inquiries for once, they're essentially volunteering their time and expertise. But there's no official record of their helpfulness anywhere which they can use to gain the trust of new users and seek voting powers from these users.\n \n**Chora Club offers solutions to all these problems. The key features of the Chora Club include:**\n\n- **One-on-One Learning Sessions:** Users can engage in personalized learning experiences with experienced delegates, gaining insights into governance, strategies, and best practices in a tailored, interactive setting. This feature addresses the problem of new users connecting with delegates. Through this feature, a new user can connect with any available delegate at any time to ask their questions, and delegates can provide answers during sessions hosted on Chora Club, with recordings available for reference.\n\n- **Delegate Office Hours:** Chora Club serves as a comprehensive platform for delegates to schedule and host office hours, making it easier for members of the community to find and participate in these valuable sessions.\n\n- **Discover DAOs:** The platform offers tools for users to explore and discover various decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), enhancing their understanding of the ecosystem's diversity and opportunities for involvement.\n\n- **Discover Delegates:** Users can learn about the roles, contributions, and areas of expertise of different delegates within a DAO, facilitating informed decision-making when it comes to delegating tokens or seeking guidance.\n\n- **Direct Token Delegation:** Chora Club simplifies the process of token delegation, allowing users to directly delegate their tokens to a chosen delegate, thereby streamlining their participation in governance activities.\n\n- **Become a Delegate:** This feature is for aspiring delegates who can find resources and support to navigate the path towards becoming a delegate, including how to position themselves as leaders and contributors within the ecosystem.", "hidden": false, "question": "Describe how your application improves user experience in the Web3 space.

Through our platform, newcomers can gain a deeper understanding of DAO governance, empowering them to actively participate in decision-making processes within the DAOs.

Users now can explore DAOs and their delegates, as well as check the sessions and office hours held within each DAO. Delegates can schedule their availability, and users can book available time slots for sessions. Delegates have the authority to approve or reject bookings. Upon approval, a meeting ID is generated, enabling users to join the meeting. The meeting interface includes chat functionality, quick links to various platforms of that particular DAO, and features such as speaking, muting, screen sharing, and video options. Sessions are automatically recorded upon initiation. After a meeting, attestations are provided to both the delegate and the user for hosting and attending the session.\n\nIn the upcoming weeks, our focus will be on refining existing features and introducing new functionalities. We'll address bugs in the office hours feature to ensure that delegates can smoothly conduct office hours on our platform. We'll also redesign the UI for the recorded sessions page and individual sessions, and update the meeting UI to enhance usability. Additionally, we'll implement options for users and delegates to opt for on-chain attestations, enable users to report inappropriately recorded sessions, grant hosts the ability to delete sessions, allow hosts to add thumbnails, and integrate an AI model to generate session summaries.\n\nWhile specific timelines may vary, our overarching goal is to continually enhance the user experience and functionality of our application.
