I. What is Roote?

Roote is an educational hub and startup studio that is accelerating the personal and collective transformation necessary for humanity's transition to the Wisdom Age.

We do this in two ways:

1. Our educational hub runs the Roote Fellowship, an energizing space for curious people to co-explore and learn about systems change. Since starting in August 2020, we've run a set of cohorts with dozens of divergent, amazing fellows. We also publish a podcast and newsletter!
2. Our startup studio launches Roote Projects, ambitious projects which catalyze systems-level change that supports a wiser world. Tweetscape is a Roote Project aiming to turn Twitter into a thriving digital public square by building on Twitter Lists and the Hive.one API.

II. Role Overview

This is a unique opportunity to lead the development of Tweetscape, an app which will help Twitter users surface amazing content from their Twitter communities. Tweetscape's mission is to co-create more intentional digital infrastructure for a healthier attention economy. Check out our Tweetscape vision page for more information!

Thus far, Roote has:

• Convened various players in the information ecosystem space (Stanford Internet Observatory, Bluesky, etc.).
• Coded a small prototype that prioritizes Twitter lists.
• Begun writing a book, What Information Wants, on how understanding information's desires helps us shape the internet for good.

We'd love for you to continue this momentum.

This position is extremely entrepreneurial. If you're interested in leading something new, uncertain, and exciting, please apply!

What You'll Do

• Your primary job is to architect and build v1 of the open-source Tweetscape web app. The user experience will be similar to Rekt—users will be able to see the top content from their favorite Twitter communities. Initially, we will start with ETH, then move to BTC and other communities.
• This involves implementing front-end designs as reusable React components and interacting with a backend (Hive.one data) on top of modern cloud services.
• In addition to programming, you will talk to users to make an app they truly love.
• At the beginning, you will work with Rhys and Brendon as co-Product Managers for Tweetscape, determining the product roadmap and other timelines.
• Finally, you will interface with the rest of Roote and the community policy side of Tweetscape. For example, you may talk with Bluesky, Twitter Communities, Hive.one, #DeSci, Reddit's crypto team, and various academic researchers to help pursue Tweetscape's general goal of developing a healthy information ecosystem.
