    The proposal is to create an iOS and Apple Watch app for Nouns, a cultural phenomenon. The apps will offer a playful experience, allowing users to explore and create their own No uns. The Apple Watch app will feature a Nouns watch face, custom complication for Noun oclock, and notifications about Noun oclock.

    <@850478993463443487> can you link the PR once the new 8/8 Nouns assets are available?
    The new 8/8 Nouns assets are available at this link: https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/tree/master/packages/nouns-assets/images/v1--The order of the assets is shown in `image-data.json`, which has also been published in `@nouns/assets@v0.4.0`: https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/blob/master/packages/nouns-assets/src/image-data.json

    <@!850478993463443487> do you know whether TheGraph supports GraphQL subscriptions? For example, we want to listen to the live auction so that the app is aware when bids are made on the current Noun.

    <@850478993463443487> Sick. This is exactly what I need. I noticed that you wrote that json file. For my own curiosity, is that json file part of a Nouns smart contract?
    Yes, the JSON file is part of a Nouns smart contract. The RLE data from that file is stored in the NounsDescriptor contract. You can find more information about it at https://etherscan.io/address/0x0cfdb3ba1694c2bb2cfacb0339ad7b1ae5932b63/advanced#readContract.

    Also is the maintenance fee adjusted to cover until May-2023 ? Because the proposal presented a production release of January.

    And am i also remembering corrctly in that there used to be a visual of the assets to pick from here? I dont see any currently
    Yes, you are remembering correctly. There used to be a visual of the assets to pick from. To see them now, tap on the little down arrow over the top of the part picker to open up the drawer.

    Another request, could we have notifications on proposals coming on and getting near the end of their voting period?

    anyone got the testflight link for this nouns app?
    The TestFlight link for the Nouns app is: https://testflight.apple.com/join/qpyGXBiV

    Curious to know what you think then: is it safe for us to trigger a notification around the NoC time, or is it better to wait until the auction has officially ended?
    It is safe to trigger a notification around the NoC time, but it would be better to have options for both NoC and auction end notifications. As Goldy#0420 mentioned, users might want an alert for the last 5 minutes remaining and an alert for settlement. So, providing options for both and defaulting to one would be ideal.

    do i need to have a noun to test the app?
    Nope, you don't need to have a noun to test the app. Just join the TestFlight.

    Good question. I've been wondering if someone in the Nouns community will step up to write a hosted Nouns GraphQL API. That said might just be cheaper to pay the Graph fees.--Do you know if there's a timeline for this?

    hey all, is the code for the iOS app available on github/somewhere? proposal indicated that the code will all be open sourced
    The code for the iOS app is not yet available on GitHub or elsewhere, but they plan to open source it after cleaning up the code a bit first.

    Hey folks! Looking forward to sharing some updates tomorrow. In the meantime, a couple of questions we had while working through the app this week:-1. Is there a strict definition for Noun o'clock? Just want to make sure we get this right for the push notification.-2. Do we have web analytics for the different screens on the Nouns website? We're curious about engagement on the Proposals screens.
    1. Noun o'clock is the moment when the current auction ends. In practice, it's a reference to the time around when the auction ends, beforehand for price action within the last 5 minutes, and afterward for when the next Noun shows up.--2. Web analytics for the different screens on the Nouns website can be found at https://plausible.io/nouns.wtf/pages. However, the analytics are not very detailed, and it's probably safe to assume that there is not much engagement due to the UX/UI being rather dull.

    Hey folks! Question for the Nounders: any chance we could get access to the PNGs that make up the different parts of the Nouns? We're looking at doing some animations and want to be able to control each layer individually.

    Hey guys, thanks for the update. I dont know if this was discussed here (couldnt find the info myself) but in the original proposal, the official launch was scheduled for the end of january, so I was wondering if you could share some info about the delay and maybe provide an updated timeline? <@!760293700587749386> <@!883521921331912714> <@!371673622521184256>
    Much of the delay in the app's launch has been due to challenges in getting the Play experience to work well. The team built several prototypes and went through numerous iterations before being satisfied with the UX. However, transitioning from proof-of-concept to high-fidelity has brought up several technical challenges that the team is still working through. They want to deliver a high-quality product, so they are taking the time to resolve these issues one by one. They hope to share a fully-working version with the beta group in the next week or two and are optimistic that the app can be released a few weeks after that.

    Hi, are you going to implement a solution to prevent this happening in the future or you are pushing new assets only?
    Yes, they are planning to implement a solution to prevent this from happening in the future. They will push a fix to have a working version again and then look at how they could prevent the crash from occurring in a follow-up build. They also mentioned that it would be helpful to have more lead time next time, so they can push an update and have users switch to it before the change goes live.

    Hi, I'm not a noun owner, just a big fan. One question I have is if I set up a DAO should it be a registered legal entity? Thank you.

    How does the Nouns website update the auction info? Does it do a live update or does it only fetch on the page load?
    The Nouns website updates the auction info through a websocket sub pulling the data for live auctions. For past auctions, it queries the graph.

    I'm reading the proposal on discourse and it seems that now we have 1 year of maintenance related upgrades, but I wonder, are the authors thinking on making a new proposal for augmenting functionality? for example being able to browse proposals / delegate / vote.
    The authors of the proposal are indeed considering adding more functionality to the app. They plan to do a post-launch brainstorm and are open to ideas. They already have a version 1 of browsing proposals that links back to the web and have noted the delegate and vote features.

    Is anyone else not able to open nouns app on their iPhone?
    You can download the 1.2.0 release through Testflight to fix the issue with opening the Nouns app on your iPhone. Use this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/qpyGXBiV.

    Is there an easy way to save today's Noun to your camera roll from the Nouns iOS app?
    To save today's Noun to your camera roll from the Nouns iOS app, follow these steps:--1. Press remix.-2. Confirm on the current design.-3. Name it and save.-4. Go to the main screen and to your saved creations.-5. Open it and then share.--Although there isn't a direct save to camera roll option, you can save to files, Dropbox, or copy to paste elsewhere.

    Is there a reason the base64 version of the svg isn't available via the Graph API? This would save us the second round trip to generate it since it's already on chain.--Would y'all mind if we added it to the API. I'm assuming this wouldn't be too complicated but feel free to correct me.
    The base64 version of the SVG isn't available via the Graph API because there have been higher priority things to work on. To add it to the API, you would need to load the seed, fetch the parts from the correct indexes in the part arrays, and generate the SVG using an assemblyscript implementation of the decoder.

    let me get back to the technical members of the team on this. from a design perspective we have all the UI to do it, the question is more of a time/difficulty thing for the devs. <@!883521921331912714> what do you think?

    looks like the artwork is using the new descriptor too! does that happen automatically or was that one of the changes?
    It was part of the changes. 🥳

    Love the mocks! Will this noun creation integrate into the UX or just be similar to the nouns playground?
    Yes, the noun creation will integrate into the UX. Mattbot#7998 mentioned that they are working on a noun creation experience that allows users to build their own nouns in fun and engaging ways.

    My instinct is to push a fix so that we have a working version again. And then look at how we could prevent the crash from occurring in a follow-up build. Is there a sense that new assets will be added often?
    New assets will be added approximately once a year, but it might be less often than that.

    only q from me is, will current active proposals be a feature?
    Current active proposals being a feature in the Nouns DAO iOS app is still under consideration. The design perspective has the UI to do it, but the implementation depends on the time and difficulty for the developers.

    Thanks! And I assume there's a certain order to these? I believe there was a json file that mapped the traits to an index?
    Yes, there is a certain order to the traits, and they are mapped to an index in the `image-data.json` file. You can find this file in the `@nouns/assets@v0.4.0` repository here: https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/blob/master/packages/nouns-assets/src/image-data.json

    this looks phenomenal! very excited to finally have clean iOS notifs for NoC! --one thing i'd love to be able to do within the app is explore governance (https://nouns.wtf/vote). i think it'd be a big value add to see current and past on-chain proposals to get a taste of what the Nouns ecosystem is building (or built). this could add a different dimension to the exploration of Nouns too (e.g. by showing what proposals they've voted on).--another (not fully developed) idea that pops into my head is being able to set the created Noun as your ENS profile avatar.. that would entail wallet integration so might be out of scope. or maybe even direct twitter profile setting? not sure if that exists. basically, the least amount of friction to get users to use their creations as PFPs.--overall, looks incredible. bravo team 👏👏👏

    We were just chatting about it and feel similarly. People probably want to see the new noun.--After an auction ends, does the next one start right away?
    After an auction ends, the next one does not start right away. The next auction starts when the previous auction is settled. The settlement transaction also kicks off the new auction. This usually takes around 10 minutes on average, depending largely on gas fees.

    Why you ask me if I wanna know when it’s Noun o’clock every time? on every screen I have to say “do it later” only to be asked on any screen I go to again-C’mon bruh
    To resolve the issue of being asked about Noun o'clock notifications on every screen, you can try enabling notifications when prompted and then go into the settings (via the about page of the app) and turn them off manually. Alternatively, you can say yes to the notifications when the app prompts you to but then select “don’t allow” when the iOS prompt pops up right after.
