One of the main challenges in building on Polkadot, compared to other ecosystems, is the high barrier of entry for developer teams to deploy their products. This is a problem that is now well understood by the ecosystem and is something that will be fixed with the introduction of the new Agile Coretime model which will allow a much more flexible way for procuring blockspace.
The new model allows parachain teams to acquire only the blockspace they deem suitable for their project. However, determining the necessary resources for a project should be something that is carefully considered by parachain teams.
For this reason, we are deciding to build a tool that will facilitate teams in making this decision by providing them with data regarding their current blockspace utilization.
After the completion of a prototype( https://www.polkadot-weigher.com ) which was measuring the weight consumption for each parachain in the given moment I decided to extend this project to serve a much greater utility in the ecosystem.
For this reason, after the initial prototype I have started developing a tool for tracking and storing the consumption data for parachains: https://github.com/RegionX-Labs/CorespaceWeigher.
The tool exposes a web API through which any frontends can query the consumption data that is tracked for each parachian.
The further plan is to create a UI that connects to the consumption tracker tool, enabling easy analysis and browsing of resource consumption data.
The UI wireframes that are intended to be developed can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R9xcxpVccIrmC7mLkWT-DCSpy6ZB0JmZmYrdUC2hIYs/edit?usp=sharing
Given that this tool needs to be hosted somewhere, we've decided to make a service that we offer to the ecosystem. The service will operate on a monthly subscription model, requiring payment in DOT for registering each parachain. This will be used to cover the operational costs of the consumption data tracking. All the data collected by this service will be publicly available for free.
However, it is important to note that all the code developed is and will be open source so anyone who doesn’t want to use the service setup their own infrastructure for running this tool.
The requested tip will be allocated as compensation for the work that has already been undertaken on the Corespace Weigher tool ( https://github.com/RegionX-Labs/CorespaceWeigher ) and for the upcoming tasks related to its completion.
Additionally, this tip will also cover design costs and the compensation for a frontend developer who will implement the specified designs.
The goal is to implement all of the components within one month from the acceptance of this proposal.
