ccFOUND Announcement

s again.

Let me remind you that we want to monetize better than any other social medium. Predictive markets - betting on market movements and world events - could be a hit in this regard. They are, unfortunately, fraught with legal risk, and for now we are getting approval for this in Poland (it's a matter of getting an interpretation that they are not betting, i.e. gambling).

Almost completed is a large Marketplace module that will allow users to publish online courses and ebooks. I expect implementation in October! This element of ccFound may be the product within itself, which be famed among influencers and experts. This is because they have an analogous challenge to ours. They can't afford developers to build their own stores. Using ccFound is becoming no longer an option, but a necessity.

ORGANIZATION

We are struggling with the elaborate system architecture needed for us to have the potential for future decentralization - and to delegate elements of it to be developed by the open source community. Because of this, programmer hours don't always go to creating new functionalities, as you would expect if you have experience in smaller projects.

I can assure you that managing a larger IT project is a completely different reality. That's why we are improving our work organization. Although I think the IT organization is good, but we have commissioned an audit from an experienced consultant and CTO. We are implementing recommendations.

We are recruiting a front-end developer - to no avail. The number of hours of front-end developers at ccFound is 320 - versus as many as 720 on the back-end, making this type of work go faster for us. That's why we're training two back-end developers to become full-stack and perform tasks on both sides.

DETAILS

We launched the function for suggesting translations of answers (previously it was only for questions). We added marking content as 18+ - it is hidden by default and you can manage your preferences.

I mentioned the affiliate program, and didn't add that - in order for it to come into existence - we implemented user verification with an SMS code and added a verification page that displays at login until successful. We also added a welcome toplayer that explains what the portal is and encourages registration.

We involved ccFound's administration staff to improve content quality on the portal. To this end, an "editor" permission was created, which in the future any user with the right reputation will be able to acquire on the platform.

We have implemented a system for validating the content of questions, which protects against asking a question with content consisting of a single word. Thanks to all this, you can see order on ccFound.com, while not long ago there were plenty of questions with undeveloped content like the famous questions titled just "How" and "Why".

I don't report here on strictly technological achievements, the numerous fixes and patches, or the achievements related to the completion of the specification of functionalities that are coming soon, such as "Pay me for answering" and the merging of similar questions - which we will do in part automatically using AI.

Also coming soon is a system for suggesting tags for translated content, based on AI. We have been working on this for months and are just finishing integrating the functionality.

We still have a long way to go, but we are catching wind in our sails. Priority: traction.
