4 months ago Hi @ferasawadi, this is a grant application submitted by others. If you're interested in developing a project with Livepeer and are interested in a grant, we recommend checking out https://grants.livepeer.org. If you don't have an idea, we have some RFPs/inspiration ideas there as well. If you're looking for others to collaborate with, please also join the Livepeer Discord (https://discord.gg/livepeer)!
Application by: patrick-skinner
What is your project, and what problem does it solve?
Problem:
Rising demand for technical video education and challenges in updating content due to rapid tech changes.
Solution:
ARGO offers modular video education within technical docs, on-chain certifications, and community tokengating. This approach simplifies updating courses and streamlines hiring.
Think:
Udemy + Gitbook with On-Chain Certifications = ARGO

Please break up your development work into a clear set of milestones
Selective Beta Launch:
ARGO Academy will launch to the Developer DAO community, allowing the community to test and iterate necessary developmental changes before ETHDenver.
Have Livepeer fully integrated as ARGO's video storage/streaming provider.
1 Internal Course Produced Per Month:
1st course will be the "Road to Web3: Citizen". This course will be developed to onboard non-technical professionals into web3 to help fill the demand of non-technical positions.

-Marketing
-Recruiting
-Business Development
-UI/UX Design
-Product Managers
-Account Managers
-Customer Support
-Fully comprehensive & modular course
-On-Chain Certifications available upon course completion
Livepeer's Certified Developer Course
Develop a full course with multiple modules (chapters) that educate developers on how to effectively develop video storage/streaming apps with Livepeer.
This course will need to be approved and signed off on by the Livepeer team to maintain On Chain certification validity.
What is the total amount requested (in USD)?
15000
Specify your team's long-term plans to maintain this software and upgrade it over time
Future of technical documentation: ARGO.
Please describe (in words) your team's relevant experience, and why you think you are the right team to build this project. You can cite your team's prior experience in similar domains, doing similar dev work, individual team members' backgrounds, etc.

Active contributing Developer DAO member | DevRel | Full-Stack Engineer | Technical Writer | Technical Video Content Creator
Overall Winner of Streamr x D_D Hackathon: -Project Submitted: https://guardianwatch.app
I created ARGO to solve a problem I often see as a DevRel. Long-from technical video tutorials are a very heavy lift and they are only viable for about 3-6 months, depending on the development pace of the technology discussed.
I'm actively looking for a Co-Founder, team members and creators.
Who is your target user group? How do you plan on getting your users to use this?
Developers/Engineers that actively use eLearning methods like YouTube & Udemy.
Developer DAO is my 1st target. See D_D Proposal Here: https://forum.developerdao.com/t/draft-argo-academy-an-academy-alternative-2024-q1/2864/23
Next target will be companies to partner with and develop courses in ARGO. Direct outreach will be the initial method.
How did you learn about the Livepeer Grants Program?
Manny Nnarang & Nader Dabit, separately, suggested I look into the Livepeer grants program for ARGO
Was this project started at a hackathon or another web3 event? Which one?
No. This project was started out of the frustration of trying to develop and manage long-form technical video tutorials.
Please include any additional information that you think would be useful in helping us to evaluate your proposal.
