This seems redundant and is not necessarily a good separation, on top of further segmenting traffic and eyeballs.

This application would leverage our UX innovations, providing a seamless Web2 experience, while improving traffic for important topics and discussions, and allowing them to more easily morph into on-chain results.

Would you migrate to it from the Polkadot forum and/or Polkassembly/Subsquare, and/or submit your governance and treasury proposals though it in a streamlined manner?

- **Problem Statement:** Disconnect between Polkadot's discussion platforms (Polkadot Forum, Polkassembly, Subsquare) leads to inefficiencies.
- **Significance:** Redundant platforms hinder discussions and decision-making processes.
- **Proposed Solution:** Develop an integrated "Polkadot Management" application for structured async discussions, proposals, and direction management.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Improved user experience, streamlined governance processes, and enhanced transparency in decision-making.
