This is a very long, somewhat organized list of some Personae project ideas. Currently, we plan to build everything below (even products) in a public good / open source way.

We’d be thrilled to support folks interested in these ideas with grants or set up collaborations with teams working on similar projects! And if stuff that’s listed has already been built, we’d love to link to it. Join our discord and reach out!

Guidelines for ideas

• Ideas are still worth pursuing even if the current UX will be really shitty
  • There’s a lot of value in being the first people to an MVP
    • Gives you recognition from the community and more leverage to set norms around how to use the technology
    • Gives you unique insight into the challenges involved and how to solve them
  • A lot of this stuff gets magically better/faster/stronger over time so it’s worth keeping repos in the icebox until the time is right
• Certain mediums are less ripe for “pseudonymity”
  • For example, being on Gather pseudonymously will still involve voice chat (if you so choose) which can dox identity
  • Longer form content that is anonymous can be deciphered if people have very distinct writing styles
