User Story

As a core team we'd like to understand where it makes sense to include behaviorally driven tactics.

Why Is this Needed

Summary: We want to be top of mind when bounty funders are in need of resource help.

Description

Type: Features

Definition of Done

• Understand how to build habit forming products
• Identify some opportunities where we can experiment
• Try 1 lightweight experiment in August

ideas, from slack:

• email funders who haven't posted in 30 days. ask them for feedback.

Rewarding funders for bountying would be an interesting experiement. Maybe a system generated kudos - when kudos is ready.


Owocki [1 day ago]
yeah thats a good idea.

Owocki [1 day ago]
@Scott Moore you have any ideas here? you know the funders best


Owocki [1 day ago]
might be worth a 20 minute brainstorm call


Pixelant [1 day ago]
yes! On my list for august are system generated kudos

Some platforms use stats for engage, for example showing the week number of bounties and compare with the last ex: "you had submitted 3 bounties this week 70% less than the past week"
I know we have the leaderboard, and is very nice for those who are doing a good job (the firsts)  but sometimes also "demotivates" the lasts with stats we can show them that is possible to get there and "get there" means maintain a worker network interested in the repo

@octavioamu I like this idea... something prompting funders who have gone inactive recently is something we've discussed. I think we should move towards doing this more

Another interesting feature that can be implemented is browser notifications to attract both sides

Pixelant [1 day ago]
yes! i like.

Agreed with prompting inactive funders and devs, I think we discussed this during the last product prioritization

Scott Moore [22 hours ago]
Letting funders know how many new devs with the skillset they're looking for are on the platform would be helpful as well, or how many devs in total are searching for say 'rust' tasks

Scott Moore [22 hours ago]
Maybe also offering some curated list of devs as a one time thing to customers who haven't been back or have had a bad experience, I've been trying to do this with ethgasstation as they feel like they've had a headache dealing with contributors

these are all good ideas.. can everyone commit to taking their best 1-2 ideas and throwing them on https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/issues ?

@owocki I took a stab at defining the ticket, feel free to edit.

LGTM

Closing since an email has been sent to inactive funders.

i think there are other funder habit forming things we'll want to do... but the first item on the list has been done yes
