Audio > video (yet this is a video) - Rally AMA #3 clip Hot take from our 3rd rally: audio > video (and yet this is posted as a video). Feat: @jamesfinnerty.lens --- Rally is an alternative open-source to Clubhouse & Twitter Space for web3 communities. Built by @naomi.lens @timotej.lens
Facts. We have a completely different experience interacting through social audio. I think when we can focus on the timbre and frequency of another persons voice, it makes the whole experience much more human. 💛✨
We'd like Rally to also do the "social" thing in "social audio app" - Rally AMA #3 Clip
Why we insist on the "We are open-source" thing with Rally Why we mention Rally being an open-source alternative instead of the perfect drop-in replacement for web2 social audio apps. --- Rally is an alternative open-source to Clubhouse & Twitter Space for web3 communities.

**This post should be accessible to our followers only - let's see how this goes 👀** We're allowing **everyone** to host a rally til this Sunday. If you're curious about Rally and aren't bothered by bugs or missing certain features (search, recording, posting to Lens), you can host yours now: https://alpha.letsrally.fm/ **Please note that :** - Rally uses WebRTC, so make sure your browser supports it (for instance, you won't be able to join a Rally from MetaMask mobile app) - A few of our users reported getting warnings from Bitdefender that prevented them from displaying the page : you might need to configure your antivirus/anti-tracking tool. - Our smart contract operates on Mumbai, so head to Polygon Faucet (https://faucet.polygon.technology) to get testnet MATIC. Your audience will also need to connect their wallet on Mumbai to join your rally. - for now, the maximum amount of people per room is 100 (but we are working on self-hosting our tech stack to raise this limit to ~3k) We are working hard on getting our search feature ready for Sunday but have some troubles with our subgraph, so if anyone has experience working with The Graph and would like to give us a hand on this, please reach out so we can connect on Discord !
*Vox populi - vox Dei.* For the past 8 weeks, we've been building an open-source alternative to Twitter Space/Clubhouse that offers an easy-to-use interface & seamless onboarding experience to web3 creators and their audience while giving them full-control over their data. Back in September, we had a hot take: **current web2 social audio apps suck**. Why ? Because there is no easy-to-use app that allows users to easily find, create and monetize audio room/content without either : **- compromising their data ownership** **- compromising their data privacy** **- losing their communities** Enters Web3 and the unique opportunity for builders to easily connect open-source Web2 and Web3 tools, allowing the creation of seamless, user-friendly online experiences that : 1️⃣ Can easily onboard **entire communities**; 2️⃣ Provide users an online experience where they are **in total control of what they publish, who can access it, how, and when ;** 3️⃣ Provide **a permanent and platformless online experience to users**, meaning if a certain link in the chain would break, users will still have access to their data and content, **regardless of the platform** ; 4️⃣ Allow builders to **easily deploy the infrastructure** that makes realtime voice chat possible, **for cheap;** This is how we got the idea for Rally. We are using Livekit, Akash Network, The Graph, Polygon, IPFS, @lensprotocol and @guild.lens to build an app that not only make it easy to create and find interesting audio rooms for everyone, but where creators can also control the access and visibility of their audio rooms without compromising their privacy or recreating their audience from scratch. From the beginning, Rally was designed to have built-in revenue opportunities for content creators so users can monetize their content easily: this will be the last and final milestone we have for our MVP. ETA end of next week. We have many, many more features in mind and will hopefully build them next year. If you're curious about our next plans, **join us this Sunday at 6PM CET** for our AMA. (we'll post the link here and on our Twitter!) Warm thank you to everyone who supported us so far. **Let's rally.** --- *If you'd like to support us in developing Rally, you can collect this post for 1 WMATIC (5% referral fee).*
**📅**🏴 **Our next AMA will be on December 18th at 6pm CET !** We'll discuss our **6th milestone** (indexing/discovery), **what will our next and last milestone includes**, where we are at with **deploying our infra**, and **what we are planning for Rally next year**. The folks from **Pixeed,** a decentralized photo sharing platform**** built on Lens should also join us on stage to talk about their project, and will see if any other folks from the Encode x Women Build Web3 accelerator would like to hit the floor and shill what they've been working on. **Come alpha test Rally and boogie with us !**
Just had our first Memester Community Rally.\n\n@letsrally is building the future of Twitter Spaces/ Clubhouse, it’s still in Beta but already has a great UX! 🤩\n\nGreat job by @naomi and Timotej and thanks for letting the Memester Community try out the platform 💪🏼#LMCC

📢 **Rally end of the week update** 📢 We're working on our 6th milestone ! Timotej (follow him @timotej.lens !) is hard at work on creating our subgraph + deploying our infrastructure with Akash, and I have been sick for ~2 weeks now, so not much on my side (next week is going to be hardcore). Between a few cups of ginger tea and bed rest, I took a few minutes to showcase Rally's 5th milestone, which we deployed last week. This 5th milestone includes : - Sign-in with Lens - Lens profile pages (+ displaying the user's guilds) - Follow/unfollow (from the profile page and from a rally) - Edit profile data (nothing fancy here, but we're planning on adding more fields later !) - Update profile picture - Setup follow module - Toggle Lens dispatcher on/off We also held a community call last Tuesday, and the Memester community took Rally out for a spin last Thursday. Pretty cool to take a seat in the audience and hear people say that they are hearing each other's voices for the first time. Anyway - thank you everyone for your support ! Stay tuned for the next one and... follow @letsrally.lens 👀
