Community dApp Assistance:
@mikecohen.id is looking for feedback w/ his new app idea. Here’s a blurb about it.
- The app idea that he ran past in the last community call was a UI for managing a Gaia hubs connection settings to its backend storage - this would be an MVP for radicle.store which they are looking to launch in October. They also want to build a dropbox driver for Gaia as a later iteration. In addition, they want to simplify their app from multi-user to single-user functionality.
