Focus is key.
@Squadz Beta Testers:
Just a quick note: Please sign up to Squadz before you log in.
We will try and simplify the process. Maybe Sign Up a User if they are not Signed Up and Log them in.
Sent you a DM on Twitter about a bug, I couldn’t log in!
Own your following + Earn Money across different apps which will be competing for your attention is the central theme most average users need to know and should be the core message. Everything else is the details that the builders can figure out.
1. Tips as Diamonds, Tiered Rewards, DAO Tokens, and Leaderboards
2. NFTs to monetize your Skills (Art, Expertise) and Knowledge (Content, Time) and
3. Paid in Crypto to lower the cost
These are all the details that end-users don't need to be told upfront and should be abstracted away in the app as much as possible.
In case you still haven't had time to log in and check out Squadz, a sneak peek into the app we've built for the DesoLabs hackathon.
A few points:
1. Sign Up before you Login
2. Check out the Squadz Community - New Features Channel for what we have in the works.
3. Enter Bugs that you find in the Bug Reports Channel
4. Join the Communities of your favorite NFTs and start the conversation
5. Build your own Communities like @Pixelangelo is doing
We'll share more on our plans for the App in a few days.
First Reveal of Squadz Beta - DeSo's First Fully Decentralized Community Building dApp with Gated Group Chats stored on-chain. Built for the @DesoLabs hackathon led by @kanshi and Team.
On the dot. At midnight my time. Although we have a few hours before the CET Midnight deadline.
Check it out at Squadz.in and join the Squadz Community and share Bug Reports and Feature requests in the relevant channels. Tell us if you love it too.
We have created a few communities and also gated them by NFTs. So, if you own the relevant NFTs, get started chatting about why you love the NFTs or the next release too.
@PhotographersCorner @CryptoFi - We've created one for you too. I've also created two communities for Music Lovers and Writers. Feel free to create your own community and play around too. And join Squadz and share your feedback.

The team is now working on a new idea that just cropped into my crazy head: Imagine my Coin Holders @Squadz Community Site with this experience.
I know two people who'll love this.
@vampirecampfire since she floated a similar idea many months ago - Timed Auctions with bidders taunting each other in a chat next to it.
@Pixelangelo since he already has a room set up for his NFT Holders.
Next: @Squadz x @Vibehut since Vibehut already has a Embed Room option and given @davidjwriter is part of the team, a Spatium Marketplace with all my books that I've listed that users can buy right from @Squadz
We are just getting started!

Welcome @DarrylGold to the @Squadz Team for the @Desolabs Hackathon!
While I've been chatting with him on Discord for a few days, finally got to put a face to a name. He'll be helping us with the designs for the 3-5 pages that we are building for the Squadz dApp - The Only Place for NFT / Interest / Local Communities.
Showed a quick demo of the working prototype that @davidjwriter and @SamiLaayouni have built and Darryl was quite impressed with the real-time nature of the response. And yes, it's a completely on-chain encrypted group chat experience with NFT/DAO/CC gating and so much more.
Who wants to be the first to be a part of it? Tag your favorite communities and tag them and let them know to get in touch with me to figure out early access for beta testing the dApp.
The bots farming these contests are hilarious. OK. I admit. They may not be bots but real people who could do with an extra 5$. e.g. In India, you could feed a family of 5 a decent meal with 5$.
@nader and anyone else running these contests: I think it's better to say the best 30 responses in 24 hours instead of the first 30 responses. That way, they at least do what you need them to do for earning the 5$.
Many of the responses here were "Perfect Sir, No Problem". Anyone who has some knowledge on UX will tell you that there is no perfect UX and Desofy with its Seed-phrase based sign-up still has a problem for the common user.
We were also discussing this in the #TTDT chat. So tagging them here.
All, we’ve been working with @Ribal at @desofy to improve the onboarding experience, and his latest changes make it much easier to get started!
To help him out, try this onboarding challenge with someone you know, and give Ribal as much feedback as you can for 💎💎💎💎💎($5):
* Find someone who hasn’t joined DeSo yet. Could be a coworker or family member.
* Have them onboard onto Desofy. See where they get stuck if at all.
* After they’re onboarded, have them post a selfie pic of the two of you via Desofy.
* Reply to this post with your experience and a link to their selfie pic for 💎💎💎💎💎 ($5).
I’ll do it for first 30 people who reply :)

I don't know how accurate this is ... but love this.
And no, it's not a whole lot for the almost 600 days spent here at my $ rate, but it's more than $1333.6571 more than what I earned on Twitter or YT or Medium. So, I'll take this.
And there's pieces not factored into this, Consulting and Writing Gigs, DAO and CC Trading Income, Creator Coin Staking, NodebitsDAO Rewards and so much more.
Good work, @zordon and Team.
