Users have shared their thoughts on FablePool, with some expressing enthusiasm and others raising concerns.
This idea reads like a joke, but there’s something to it. One feature request: In addition to high-level milestones, it would be cool if a partially-funded project would generate a public, highly detailed implementation plan.
Others have pointed out potential issues with the platform.
I love how even the ‘demo build’ doesn’t work. Rather, it did work at milestone 14, but then regressed at milestone 15, where it changed the link from a wikimedia image to a nonexistent file in /assets (despite still having the ‘Photo via Wikimedia Commons’ caption).
Licensing and Feasibility Concerns
Some users have raised concerns about licensing and the feasibility of certain projects.
‘Solve Garbage Collection in C# for HFT ยท $10.00 raised of est. $200.00 target’ This can’t be serious. Broader point I am making is, what differentiates genuine ideas from the token burn? What happens when the pool exhausts but the task is not done?
Despite these concerns, some users see potential in the platform.
This is genius! I can already see improved versions of this idea making it big.
