First WebRTC User Interface
In 2022 the fractally team starting building a similar app and announced plans to open-source it in the future. The WebRTC user interface is hosted on a web app that’s accessible on an internet browser, which enables peer to peer video calls and eliminates dependencies on conferencing services like zoom. The UI enables intuitive drag and drop functionality for selecting the most valued contributions to the community. Elements of the UI will dynamically turn red, yellow, orange, and green to visually indicate the level of consensus reached for each contributor.
You can watch a funny UI demo video below to gain a better understanding of how the Fractal App facilitates ranking contributions during events. You can also learn more about this innovative, fun, and intuitive app by watching Fractally team members Daniel Larimer and Brandon Fancher also share exciting details about the UI in the last 30 minutes of Genesis Fractal meeting 24.
Livepeer Integration
Since early 2024, we’ve been in contact with the Livepeer team to integrate video infrastructure protocols into our apps. More details coming soon!
Related Apps and Designs
Between 2021 and 2023, the Fractally team (later called Psinq) developed several applications for early variations of the Respect Game and fractal election processes. You can see detailed documentation from front-end UX designer Thomas Hallgren for both the rank-order voting app and preceding Eden Election app.
Upscale Fractal App
In mid-2024, the Upscale Community started using a sophisticated WebRTC-enabled fractal application and has tested it in over 30 weekly events. You can explore the app’s features at fractal.upscalenow.io.
Update in Early 2024
Our team member Vlad has been working with several talented builders for over a year to create a comprehensive fractal app that allows any community or organization to coordinate their operations with the Respect Game. The first version of such an app is complete on Antelope networks (as you can see here) and we’re now planning to port over the software to the EVM in the coming months, while also exploring ways to reach full feature parity on the OP Mainnet to enable everyone to benefit from the Respect Game.
This Fractal App is a web application that offers features such as WebRTC integration for video meetings, automatic video recording, member induction system, automated Respect distribution custom token distribution, dynamic permission system of the contract based on member’s Respect, onchain randomization of members into breakout groups during weekly meetings, and onchain ranking validation. Additionally, this app offers a well-designed decentralized system for electing custodians in a dynamic manner, an automatic compensation distribution system, increased engagement with onchain accountability, and potential for further development to enhance collaboration within the community.
You can learn more about this app in the videos and text below. You can find many more details about the most recent version of this app in this article and learn more about different versions of this app in this overview. You can also learn more about an earlier version of this app here and find more details about the software components to automatically update permissions on this page. We will also add a direct link to the app so you can experience it for yourself in the near future. Enjoy!
