Description

Project Overview

The DAO Tool is an open-source platform designed to streamline how DAOs manage contributors, bounties, and payments. It brings together key workflows — like GitHub issue syncing, Discord automation, wallet-based payouts, and real-time collaboration — into one modular, extensible system. With built-in authentication, role-based dashboards, and support for Solana/USDC via Privy, it’s tailored for modern, async teams. Whether you're running a DAO, an open-source collective, or a contributor network, The DAO Tool helps you move from task to payout with zero hassle.

With the strong foundation in place, the next steps include advanced analytics, full email verification, granular bounty editing, contributor reputation tracking, and an interactive onboarding tour—bringing even more transparency, control, and usability to the DAO Tool platform.

Progress During Hackathon

1. Guided User Tour for Onboarding - Introduce a step-by-step interactive tour to help new users understand the platform’s layout and key actions. - Highlight core features such as bounty creation, profile setup, and GitHub/Discord integrations with overlays and navigation controls. - Goal: Reduce friction for first-time users, encourage feature discovery, and improve activation rates with a clear, structured onboarding experience. 2. Document the Entire Project on GitBook - Set up structured, accessible, and continuously updated documentation on The DAO Tool Docs. Cover core areas including architecture, environment setup, backend/frontend guides, API references, integrations, and contribution standards. Goal: Empower new developers and contributors to onboard quickly, understand the architecture, and contribute confidently. 3. Enhance Accessibility with ARIA and Semantic HTML - Improve the UI by adding ARIA labels, semantic elements, and keyboard navigation to support screen readers and meet WCAG 2.1 compliance. - Goal: Make the platform accessible and inclusive for all users. 4. Write Unit Tests for Backend - Add a comprehensive test suite for critical backend routes using Jest and Supertest. - Goal: Improve code reliability, prevent regressions, and enforce test-driven development.
