This is a Large tip proposal for 0xTaylor's work supporting the free open-source Discord [Governance bot](https://github.com/ChaosDAO-org/InternalGov-2.0). Sixteen (16) application feature additions were tracked via ChaosDAO's [project tracker](https://github.com/orgs/ChaosDAO-org/projects/3) and completed back in September 2023.

The majority of these features were "Quality of life" that supported an improved experience for the user. For [example](https://i.imgur.com/eirTtan.png), HTML wasn't converted to markdown and thus ate up the majority of the 2000 characters Discord allows and was difficult to read. There were numerous other small issues with handling that markdown and escaping which I worked through to present a well formatted post that we see today. 

You can see the full list of features completed below:

This bot is also used by The Kusamarian and I as part of ChaosDAO advocate for other DAO's to take up the technology and offer our general support if they are interested.

I would like to request a tip of **694.20 DOT** (~$6,500 using the 30 day EMA of $9.4/DOT) for this work. I normally bill my time at a $250/hr. rate so this would cover 26 hours of work if I were to bill it at my normal rate. This easily covers the time I've spent writing, debugging, and testing this code.

Voting Aye on this proposal helps show support for people like me who commit a lot of our spare time to advancing this ecosystem. This is also my first ever tip request for myself so please be nice to me.
