Nandini! Thanks so much for posting and I know I’ll be glad to support your proposed contributions as a valued community member.
One thing we’re missing here is funding requested.
What i’d suggest when formulating this number is to break up the dev process in steps, then estimate the number of hours each step will require for each user involved times $100/hr.
Setting a higher end, even pay rate across the board should make room for many admin & setup costs, therefore giving you a realistic total project cost. Outside any other specific capital requirements this should account for most grants’ project funding and budget details completely.

Thank you Blake, I am still figuring out the work needed to build this. Will update the proposal with more details

Other thing I’d like to see in this proposal Nandini is a little more explanation on the Solution architecture.
Being tooling built on top of the protocol it would be interesting to see where you are planning to store these social media channels configs

Good stuff!

We can store the social configs in a centralised database for now and can maybe move it to push nodes along with user to subscribed channel metadata. But even before this I am not sure if there is a way now to listen to off chain notifications
