What privacy problem are you solving?
As incognito is currently a very young project, it lacks the ecosystem tools of more mature cryptocurrency projects. For example, DEX projects on Ethereum enjoy use of etherscan.io and pools.fyi.
What is the solution?
Build them for Incognito, provide frameworks to allow easier development.
Who are your direct and indirect competitors? Why is your solution better?
If pools.fyi or a similar website were to integrate stats for incognito they would be a direct competitor. I’d consider this a success though since it means better adoption of Incognito.
Who are you?
I’m a developer, occasionally contributing to cryptocurrency projects that I believe in. I occasionally post stuff on twitter and a few other places. I have a few running open source projects on my github as well.
Why do you care?
I am a proponent of privacy and believe in cryptocurrency as a tool to bring more economic freedom, the perfect match for Incognito.
Schedule/Budget
Development has already started, and the current feature-set is usable at incognito.mesquka.com. Code is viewable at github.com/mesquka/incognito-tool. This proposal is to explore the possibility of funding future development and allowing me to spend more time on Incognito-related projects.

*Completed prior to submitting proposal, would be good to have a discussion on whether we should consider retroactive funding for projects that have already commenced.
**Completed after submitting proposal but before the proposal was accepted, would be good to have a discussion on whether this should receive funding this as well.
Update App Data Storage/Updating
The current app architecture fires off a lot of unnecessary network requests and has a fairly monolithic data update mechanism. To support more features the data update mechanism needs to be replaced.
UI Update - User Friendliness
It isn’t immediately obvious what most elements/settings do, a UI update is needed with clearer purposes for everything, proper error reporting, and obvious indicators when the app is doing something in the background.
