Dear Kusama community,
I am thrilled to introduce you to "Polkadot Discovery Portal" a comprehensive directory for Polkadot & Kusama ecosystem & all its actors.
"Polkadot Discovery Portal" was born out of one developer’s struggle with finding artifacts, binaries, docker images, and specs for the chains he wanted to test. Through the discussion with fellow community members, the idea grew and evolved into the project you see in front of you, intended as a comprehensive ecosystem discovery: to connect all the ecosystem actors, from big to small.
The Polkadot & Kusama ecosystem is not only about parachains and relay chains; it’s also about pallets, wallets, apps and Dapps, browser extensions, utility libraries, websites, etc. In one word this ecosystem is about community. Without good project discoverability, the community cannot find the information it needs.
Our aim is to make project discoverability seamless and simple. This way, everyone can access the information they need to contribute to the ecosystem's growth.
I open this discussion to propose a retroactive payment by Kusama Treasury to cover 60% of the "Polkadot Discovery Portal" development costs and gather feedback on this PoC so we can improve it further and prioritize the functionality that the community wants to see.
