State of the Union May 2023

May marked another iteration of digital app improvements with mobile optimization along with filters for both community and skillsets. In conjunction, we also co-hosted a three-day Think Big Festival with our joint partners at Innovation Collective in Brooksville, Florida. In June, we are making final preparations for the launch of our platform on mainnet on July 4th.

Web App is now mobile-optimized

The web app is now completely mobile-optimized, making it more accessible for anyone to find their digital tribes in their physical cities. This makes it especially useful for people on the move who are looking to connect with online neighbors in offline destinations. If you're reading this on mobile, simply click "Launch" at the top of the screen to get started.

Community and skillset filters

The app now has the ability to filter for both online communities and skillsets.  This allows for even more granularity to find cross-sections of skills x networks x geography and will help form the basis for all upcoming roadmap features such as events and physical spaces.

Think Big Festival in Three Cities

May marked a series of back-to-back three-day Think Big Festivals in our joint venture with Innovation Collective starting in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, traveling through Victoria, Texas, and ending in Brooksville, Florida.  This is just one part of a contracted deployment with the cities themselves to seed and scale a startup ecosystem in the town with the inclusion of stakeholders across both public and private sectors.  You'll see also pictured below the sited real estate asset for Brooksville, FL that will follow the same development cycle as our blueprint in Coeur d'Alene.

July 4th Mainnet Release

On July 4th, we will be launching Dreams on mainnet allowing users to collaboratively prompt engineer dreams of new creations which also double as a premium digital membership pass into the build_republic. You can test this feature out now on testnet through our web app.
