Our solution is a fully functional Cardano stake pool search website for both browser & mobile applications (IOS & Android). The site & mobile have in fact been fully operational for over 1 year now and continues to grow & adapt to the ecosystem. This site has been fully funded by the SPO team and has had no outside funding and does not use payed advertising on site to benefit the users.
The idea for PoolPeek.com was to provide a fairer selection process for SPO's so that users to the site do not automatically see faulty rankings like Daedalus, who has made the most blocks or play favoritism to SPO's that pay for features on their dashboard like other well known sites like Adapools.
There are many sites on Cardano that provide some features like PoolPeek.com but not many like ourselves actively try to help out and provide assistance, support & general help to promote SPO's with the hopes of helping make them successful and ask for nothing in return.
We currently achieve this by including all stake pools and every time a user visits the sites and uses the Pool search tool all pools will continually be randomly generated to show as not to show favoritism. We have feedback from many that usually the first Stake pool they choose is from the first page display from the pool search websites.
We also provide a search wizard within the main website & mobile version that has specific questions asked to users from eliminate retired pools, choose larger or small pools, eliminate saturated pools etc etc. This allows us to try and educate the users at the source as they use the site and make them think about why they are choosing a stake pool, what criteria matters to them and to the ecosystem.
PoolPeek also has additional features like the map search where users can search based on the pools location, SPO alliances, ISPO's features, integration of community wallets like CCvault & Nami or other features that continually get added based on user feedback & usage.
We foresee many challenges from : -
Appealing to new users and attracting users from other well known websites.
Maintaining new user & existing users through tools and features that are both useful and adaptive to the flows of the community.
Marketing to attract users to the site and educating them of the importance of selecting a Stake Pool.
