Dear Council,
Under the tipping system our freelancers invest time up front without really knowing what kind of reward their work will yield. In the absence of a fixed “salary”, it is vital for them to monitor their tip requests closely to ensure that they get the rewards they deserve.
As a Dotsama freelancer myself, I have spent my fair share of time refreshing doTreasury as well. But that ends today…
…with the TipAlert bot!
I have built a notification bot on telegram that alerts users of any changes to tip requests relevant to their wallets (finder/beneficiary).
With this tool the reward tracking process is now very smooth and convenient. This allows our freelancers to focus on building and creating!
Try it out: tipAlertBot (works for all tip requests created after block 10344510)
The code is open source: repo
The KSM address of the receiver (me) can be verified in the README of the GitHub repo.
Total time spent on this project: 75 hours.
I am looking forward to being conveniently notified of your tips on my phone and remain at your disposal for any questions. :D
Thanks for your time.
P.S. In light of what happened with my last tip request for this project (now retracted) I wrote an article in polkassembly to encourage a conversation on improving the tipping process. It would be great to hear from the council members there too!
