Seems to me grants should be at least 2 years and not one.

While one year is enough to build some mvps, it’s hardly enough time to ship a polished product.

I’m aware that building software is an ongoing endeavor, all the more reason why 1 year doesn’t really work. My guess is most developers don’t want to take over a buggy 1 year project that barely works but not to a point where anyone wants to use it regularly. They will propose their own project which will suffer the same fate.

Also think every dev should be paired with a designer or have some funds set aside specifically for design. This is a bit trickier and I don’t know what’s the best way to handle this.

Just some morning thoughts 💭

I’ll shut up now.
