**[Allo Kit Simple Grants](https://github.com/allocapital/allo-kit-simple-grants) - Henry's notes**

* repo readme
    * points to docs, other helpful links ✅
    * however, long. ScaffoldETH2 section probably could have been a link

* deploying
    * local `.env` with API keys is the bane of an easy setup. where possible provide defaults that work out of the box and make clear what is optional vs necessary (like what is pinata required for?)
    * hopefully correct in saying
        >yarn run chain
yarn run deploy
yarn run allo:dev
yarn run allo:indexer

        will basically always run together. consider a one-line script to instantiate all? I spent a few minutes troubleshooting before realizing I forgot to start the indexer.
        
* general
    * there aren't many links, samples, or examples of many of the concepts covered in the docs. given we have some wealth of resources to pull from (main allo docs, allo example contracts) I think these could substantially aid the developer journey.
    * had to go digging to find the Strategy.sol, and its a real stub. I think one of the strongest advantages to Allo Kit is the ability to accelerate strategy development, but this still feels not very expanded on.
    * many dead links on https://allo-kit-docs.vercel.app/allo-app/components
    * generally speaking, most development efforts probably won't need to use their own registry or indexer, and there are compatibility/hosting costs to choosing to do this. would like to see users guided a little more on areas like this, we don't want people inadvertently choosing the hardest path just because we make it easy for them to!
* what is the future of simple grants?
    * how is this aligned with Allo Labs' other efforts, like Allo Gold?
