Hello Kusama community,

This proposal is for a retroactive grant of my two open source, free tools. One for selecting the best validators and another for gathering staking income in a spreadsheet. You can try the validator selector [here](https://james-sangalli.github.io/dot-validator-selector/) and the staking income spreadsheet generator [here](https://james-sangalli.github.io/dot-staking-income-web/).

I originally set out to create these tools because I was struggling with staking. Selecting the best validators and tracking your staking income were unsolved issues at the time and they are still causing confusion for many. Therefore, I decided to solve my own problems and the problems of others by creating simple, easy to use tools that would get the job done. 

You can read the full proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YT2qssdH12AtWFRloRnBanK6H1sGuE6EaX782d4qK40/edit?usp=sharing).

Thank you for taking the time to consider this proposal!
