Hello @keeganquigley, I have reopened this pull request since we have now fully open sourced Alphaday here: https://github.com/AlphadayHQ/alphaday
License: MIT

I request that you please reconsider the application.
Previous Application for reference: #2285

Thanks @Mikael337 happy to reconsider. I have a few initial comments:

• The grants program focuses mainly on the technical implementation, so while we can fund the development itself, we can't fund things like Youtube stream containing educational Polkadot/Kusama/Web3 content or the podcast. Could you please remove these from the deliverables?
• The mandatory deliverables 0a. - 0d. are missing. Can you please add these as shown in the application template?

[Mikael337]

Hello @keeganquigley, I've updated the file with the newly requested changes.
Please let me know if other changes are required.

[keeganquigley]

Documentation is always required for development milestones, regardless of the tech stack. At the very least a GH readme, but it's nice to see user-facing documentation as well, for front-end deliverables.

[keeganquigley]

We require unit tests as well, at least for the Python-Django backend. (But it's also nice to see Cypress tests or something similar for React front-ends). Would you be willing to include these?

[keeganquigley]

It's fine to go ahead and remove the Docker deliverable, as long as we can easily spin it up locally with Yarn. Maybe you could denote that here.

[keeganquigley]

We won't be able to approve an unlimited estimated duration, could we maybe allocate 2 months here for now, since that's the timeline written in future plans.

[keeganquigley]

In addition to my above comments, we also require mockups for the front-end if you could include those too. Thanks!
