    Grant for the Web

    100 000 USD

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Travis Vachon

    Creating an open source Solid application that will let users easily publish, create, and monetize custom pages showcasing writing, music and video content hosted in their Solid Pod at a domain of their choosing. Existing platforms that allow users to monetize their content require either the skills and capitalization to maintain custom web infrastructure or a willingness to let a third party become a steward of both content and data about content creators. itme.online will provide a new option for users who would like to maintain full sovereignty over their content and monetize it without running a web server. Building on top of Solid and Web Monetization means that users will be free to move their content off of itme without interrupting the monetization of their content.

  8. Web Monetized content creation and Web Monetized content discovery on Moja WiFi in Africa

    Grant for the Web

    90 000 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Reg Orton

    Building Web Monetization into Moja, a WiFi platform providing free consumer access to the Internet for those who typically cannot afford it. We are tackling two issues with content in the African context: Local content creation is poorly monetized and therefore high value and relevant content is not created or widely published, and access to existing pay-walled content platforms is difficult if not impossible due to low disposable income and relatively high costs for premium and paywalled content. Web Monetizing Moja will both provide an income stream via Web-Monetization, and connect our users with rich content available online.
