Meeting Summary

🎯 Strategic Context

The team reviewed substantial progress toward a fully functioning beta of the Holomovement app, with most features from prior discussions now implemented. James confirmed that roughly 90% of remaining beta work centers on the matching system, with membership subscriptions and various refinements rounding out the final 10%. The team set a target of turning the core team loose on the app next week (04:22), with the Wave event serving as the major activation moment for bringing new users into the ecosystem.

🏗️ Platform Development Updates

Holon Wall & Group Features

The Holon wall is now live (03:16), enabling public-facing updates from Holon owners while restricting posting to members only. Michael Shaun framed this clearly: the wall is "how you update the world on the progress of your Holon" (07:00). Image posting on the wall is still coming, and the same underlying functionality will power group chat as a member-private counterpart to the public wall.

Map & Directory Revamp

A significant map revamp now supports both public and private views, with linkable, smaller map cards that properly separate when points cluster closely together. The directory UI was updated to surface more imagery, with hover interactions revealing additional details.

Assessments Enhancements

The assessments index now shows "view results" for completed assessments, with a results preview being added. The results page itself was condensed vertically — smaller triangle, relocated text, and smaller domain icons that align better with the top navigation.

Sign-Up Flow & Page Protection

The sign-up page now includes terms of serviceprivacy policyage verification (18+), and an optional newsletter opt-in for the broader Holomovement list. James recommended having a lawyer review the legal copy, noting that cross-checking AI outputs (Claude [tag="claude"] vs. others) via tools like Abacus can provide a useful "quorum" sanity check. Page protection was updated so unauthenticated users can no longer glitch into restricted pages like assessments.

Membership & Join Flow

The Join Holon button is now functional, with pending invitations surfacing in a notification area for approval. Iván is actively building the pay-what-you-want subscription model and integrating it into the sign-up flow, targeted for completion this week.

🤝 Matching System Architecture

James, working with Shaun and Iván, outlined a multi-stage matching approach living on a dedicated connection page (09:40):

  1. Phase One: Use the Connection Assessment alone to generate alignment scores, positioning users on a map based on proximity and score similarity.
  2. Phase Two: Layer in deeper agentic scoring using full profile data — tags, domains, seeking/offering fields — for richer matches.
Similar vs. Complementary vs. Integral

The team explored how to frame match types. Default behavior will show most similar, with a toggle for most complementary (e.g., pairing a visionary with someone more grounded). Michael Shaun pushed the conversation toward a third lens: matches that move users toward integration — people whose domains pull you upward on the integrated axis rather than simply across it (13:04). The team agreed to ship the similar/complementary toggle first and observe user behavior over the next three to six months to refine what's genuinely useful.

AI Feedback Loop

Michael Shaun emphasized building in lightweight user feedback mechanisms so the matching AI can learn what constitutes a good match over time (14:53).

🚀 Beta Readiness & Core Team Rollout

With matching and membership targeted for completion this week, the team plans to open the app to the core team next weekHera will run a test pass on assessments before messaging the team to begin onboarding. James noted that prototyping matching will work much better with more completed assessments — currently only about five exist in the system.

Micro-grant applications will stay on the current Google Form for now, with direct email outreach to a few Holons. A fuller Holon application announcement is planned for June, timed to the Wave activation.

📺 Wave Broadcast Integration

Viewer Experience Strategy

Mariko raised the key question of what experience paid ticket holders should have when entering the broadcast. Ideas under consideration:

  • public live chat wall similar to YouTube Live
  • Super Chat–style paid question prioritization, letting viewers donate small amounts to surface questions for hosts to answer on-air
  • Possible integration with Hubcast / Creator Hub, which already has media platform and paywall infrastructure
Hubcast Exploration

Rather than reinvent broadcast chat and profile functionality, James suggested exploring what Hubcast already provides. In an ideal world, all broadcast viewers would create profiles in the Holomovement app, view the broadcast inside the ecosystem, and see who else is watching in real time. Mariko will set up a meeting with Peter and the broadcast stakeholders to align on technical integration and paywall strategy.

Marketing & Onboarding Clips

The team agreed to produce short 30–60 second onboarding videos — screen-share walkthroughs showing how to use the app, get matched, and engage during event breaks. These will be stitched into the broadcast and used in marketing emails. Hera emphasized creating a beautiful marketing email that mirrors the quality of the Wave website to convert readers into ticket buyers before rolling out more affiliate codes.

🎤 Speaker Profiles & Session Matching

James proposed that Wave speakers create profiles in the app ahead of the event (38:54). This unlocks a powerful feature: participants could be matched to sessions that align with their profile, solving the long-standing question of how attendees discover which talks to attend. Hera will coordinate speaker onboarding roughly two weeks before the event, once the platform has been final-swept and is ready for the anticipated influx.

Bios & Headshots

Full speaker bios and photos will live in Skid rather than the Wave website. The website will feature only headliner photos to preserve mobile usability.

🏷️ Sponsor Logo Placements

Priority logos for the Wave site:

  • Foundation for the Future
  • Purpose Earth
  • Spiritual Life TV (updated file shared in WhatsApp)

These three should anchor the top rows, with remaining sponsor logos from the existing About page arranged below. James will restructure the layout accordingly.

📛 App Naming

The app still needs a name. James half-jokingly proposed "Jeff" — "Just Effing Fantastic" — as a placeholder (22:15). The team agreed a real name must be finalized before speaker and participant onboarding begins, otherwise messaging will default to "check Jeff for your session matches."
