E22: Building the Everything App - Nounspace and Decentralized Social Media with Willy Ogorzaly and Jesse Paterson

ATX DAO Podcast: Crypto • Tech • DeGen • Culture

Summary

Nounspace is a website builder built on top of a social network that allows users to build customizable websites using crowdsourced building blocks called fidgets. It aims to be the future of social, website builders, browsers, search engines, and music streaming. Nounspace is designed to give people the tools to build their own Everything app. Thanks to its modular fidget architecture, the platform is user-friendly and does not require coding skills.

Nounspace also offers interoperability with Farcaster, allowing users to access their Farcaster account and content within Nounspace. It aims to recreate the customizable and creative experience of MySpace while incorporating Web3 features. Users can create their own spaces (profiles) and customize them using fidgets (components). The team plans to add features like top friends and speculative gaming using the space token.

The user experience is designed to be simple and mobile-friendly, with the possibility of AI customization in the future. The space token serves as a governance and utility token, with potential use cases including buying additional tabs, app store transactions, and tip allowances.
