[Temperature Check] iOS Governance Widgets

Due to the limits on the number of images and links allowed here for new members I have put full version with all images and links on hackMD.

TL;DR

Boost Aura voter participation with custom iOS widgets to help track proposals and votes right from the home screen.

Introduction

Keeping up with 10-20 proposals every month is overwhelming for many Aura members. Updates get missed, notifications slip by, and voter participation is low.

Other DAOs, like Nouns, faced the same challenge and used home screen widgets to help solve it. These compact tools show key governance info like proposal status, time left, and voting results without needing to open an app or site. Unlike Discord or email notifications, widgets provide instant, glanceable updates without app fatigue.

We propose delivering similar widgets for Aura, helping members stay informed, engaged, and active in governance.

Want to see the experience firsthand? Check out how they work in Nouns Widgets (Governance widget). Aura’s version will feel just as smooth.

What will be delivered?

  • Custom-styled widgets tailored to Aura that any member can install.
  • Three widget sizes, each offering different levels of information.
  • A dedicated installation website on its own subdomain, e.g. aura.mywidgets.com.
  • One year of support and infrastructure coverage.

Please, open the full proposal on hackMD to see what different widget sizes look like.

Funding

  • Initial setup & design (fixed): $250
  • 1 year of dev support & infra: $350

Total: $600

Timeline

Widgets will be fully delivered within 2 weeks of receiving funding.

  • Week 1: Design lock & widgets prep.
  • Week 2: Public launch + install site live.

Thanks for your proposal!

While the idea seems interesting, I don’t think it’s necessary at this time. Let’s see what the others think.

Thank you for the response!

Totally understand if it’s not a priority right now. If others see value in it or if the need comes up in the future, I’d be happy to answer any questions or adjust the scope if that helps make it more useful for the DAO.

Appreciate you taking the time :folded_hands:
