2019 Goals Report Card

	A	B	C	E	F
1	Goal	Grade	Grade Weight	Comments
2	LBRY on the Web	85.00	0.20	lbry.tv has been a success and is comparable UX to desktop, but issues remain and it should have been launched faster	1
4	Protocol Performance	66.75	0.15	Protocol performance improved substantially. This grade was hurt by an ambitious target, as well as lingering issues with SDK start times.	1
9	Discovery	54.17	0.12	Tagging, claim filtering and searching, and presentation were improved, but other goals were not met.	1
16	LBC Onramps / Offramps	20.00	0.12	This is possible, but not through us, and the UX is awful.	1
19	Creator Features	78.50	0.10	Compared to how sparse this was entering 2019, we made a lot of progress. However, there's a lot to do still, especially on reporting and analytics.	1
24	Android 1.0	77.50	0.05	The app was properly released and made a ton of progress. It feels stable, but still has some significant issues and is not technically a 1.0 (though this is largely a technicality)	1
28	Creator Partnerships	45.00	0.05	A few partnerships were formed, but not enough. This must be a key 2020 focus.	1
31	Robust Data Network	17.50	0.05	Not good enough.	1
35	Blockchain Bricklaying	92.50	0.05	A good job here, but perhaps not ambitious enough.	1
40	Multi-Device Experience	90.00	0.04	This was well done, with the password experiencing being the only aspect holding back a perfect score.	1
42	Commenting	80.00	0.03	i18n progressed substantially, with all major apps and lbry.tv being useable in more than 20 languages	1
44	Internationalization	85.50	0.02	Major apps are usable in a large number of languages via community-generated translations.
50	Technical Community	67.25	0.02	A last minute (redacted) paper acceptance saves this score.	1
51	LBRY protocol published in major computer science journal	100.00	0.25	LBRY accepted to (redacted)
52	LBRY technology featured prominently and organically on tech community hubs (e.g. Hacker News, /r/programming, lobste.rs, etc.)	75.00	0.25	LBRY was on the front page of a few of these forums, at least once.
53	Active” developer community (metric TBD)	40.00	0.20	We never set a metric, so bad grade for that alone. But 2019 seemed better than 2018.
54	Sustained 3rd-party application development	40.00	0.20	There has been some development (music player, comic book app, browser plugin, etc.), but I'm not sure it qualifies for sustained.
55	4x growth in public contributions and PRs	75.00	0.10	I did not have a way to measure this easily, so I'm anecdotally giving it a 75 at low weight.
56	Community Metadata	36.00	0.01	Some debate and exploration happened, but this was backburned to focus on clearer actionable improvements. As tags and new changes have made this a bigger deal, it needs to become a big focus in 2020.	1
59	Website Redesign	83.75	0.01	Not only did we do this, we also obtained lbry.com. Some meaingful website issues, remain, however, and with the launch of lbry.tv, our domain branding is confusing.	1
62	Advertising	N/A		Advertising was purposefully shelved to focus efforts on improving user experience. A basic advertising test was launched on lbry.tv in January 2020.	1
63	Overall	63.93
