Specify your team's long-term plans to maintain this software and upgrade it over time

I and my partner will be responsible for fixing bugs, adding new features(voice notes, files and other custom content types) and upgrading the components over time.

We will take up the role of attending to every issue raised and related to this feature. We hope to interest other community members in contributing in maintaining the Livepeer chat.

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.

I am a software and blockchain engineer with over 5 years of working experience , with keen interest in dapps development, cloud and media tech stack.

The video demo(A simple POC clone of Blockscan chat wallet messaging) is a project i built in the Encode Next video hackathon(Prize winner) for messaging with XMTP. Thus my knowledge of XMTP ,is of hands-on experience. We are confident that we can implement a secure, private real-time web3 messaging and notification on the explorer.

I and my partner worked on a plugin wrapper for in-stream ads for the Livepeer player( microgrant- https://github.com/livepeer/grants/issues/212).

We are proficient in our tech stack due to active and engaging interest in open source.

Who is your target user group? How do you plan on getting your users to use this?

Orchestrators, delegators, developers etc. We will always be active on the discord to assist on any issue related to the messenger or notification portal.

How did you learn about the Livepeer Grants Program?

Hans

Was this project started at a hackathon or another web3 event? Which one?

No

Please include any additional information that you think would be useful in helping us to evaluate your proposal.

I have built several messaging systems and clones of popular messenger in the past. The demo app in the video was simple POC for a blockscan chat clone.

Also i am an active member of the community for the past year, during which I have collaborated with several developers. This experience strengthens my ability to solicit feedback from the community thus adjusting the feature to fit the community needs and in maintenance.

Cool, would love to use something like this!

[livepeer-ssai]

@AuthorityNull i hope you love this interface.. just a mock up though, very experimental

[ad-astra-video]

I think this would be great to have. Making it easier for Orchestrators and Delegators to communicate is definitely an improvement for the community.

One question: how would this work if the wallet is an offline wallet and will not connect to browser?

[livepeer-ssai]

Hi! Offline wallets are difficult to support with current versions of XMTP, but that's one of the reasons for works towards XIP-46.Under that system, XMTP users will have more ways to set up their Inbox IDs and receive messages.

An Amazing use case for the chat is the Broadcast features to allow Orchestrator broadcast announcement to its Delegators all at once .This might be related to period of planned inactivity or migration to a different address. The community still really suffers from this .Delegator loss earn LPT rewards because of this lack of promptly alert.

Came across a message on our Livepeer discord channel , had a couple discussion with some Os and other delegators .They are really trouble by this.
