What is it?
The Raspberry Pi NFT Showcase App is designed to allow users to display their NFT collection on a TV. It fetches data from the blockchain, verifies ownership, and showcases the NFT with its provenance. This serves as a bridge between the digital and physical world, letting users showcase their digital assets in their living space.
I think that having a low cost device that plugs in via HDMI to an existing TV would be a super low frinction way to get normies involved in the world of NFTs.
If everything worked as plan, the Proof Team, the community, and I could figure out a way to fully productize the system and distribute it to holders. We could also think about distribution to the rest of web3 in the form of a business or something else that might make sense.
How does it benefit the Moonbirds and Mythics holder community?
It is better to buy more art, than having to choose between buying art and equipment to display it. If a product like this comes out of the Moonbirds community, we will get a lot of recognition.
About the team
I am a software developer with 6+ years of experience, including 2 years in blockchain and NFT projects.
Currently, I am the sole force behind this initiative. With a rich tapestry of experience spanning 6 years, I've honed my skills across a diverse range of languages and frameworks. My proficiency includes, but is not limited to:
Platforms: Jetson Nvidia nano, xavier NX, and Xavier (More complex than raspberry Pi). Firefly NPU development boards.
Frontend Development: I've crafted intuitive and responsive user interfaces using JavaScript and React, ensuring optimal user experiences.
Backend Development: My expertise extends to backend systems, having worked with various technologies to create robust and scalable solutions.
Languages: My coding journey has seen me delve deep into languages like JavaScript, C++, and Rust, each time emerging with a product that stands testament to my dedication and skill.
End-to-End Product Development: Beyond just coding, I've taken ideas from conception to completion, single-handedly developing entire products that cater to user needs while maintaining high standards of quality and performance.
Product strategy
Phase 1 (2 weeks): Design UI/UX and finalize features.
Phase 2 (4 weeks): Develop the app, integrate with blockchain, and conduct internal testing.
Phase 3 (2 weeks): Beta testing with select Moonbirds and Mythics community members.
Phase 4 (1 week): Address feedback and finalize the app for launch. Talk with Proof about help and distribution plan.
What are the risks?
The risk is I encounter an incompatibility in the stack I will be using to make the app. There are many ways to skin this cat, so if something is incompatible, I can use other stacks. I will be open about my progress and inform the community if I get stuck and how to move past the hurdles.
What will the money actually be spent on? Do you expect any other money to come in related to this project, e.g. revenues?
The money will be for my development time. I think a squiggle is an appropriate reward for the time and effort commitment I forsee.
If things go well, we could certainly think about how this could bring revenue to the community.
