We have had to keep reorganizing and changing direction, which has really slowed us down and been demoralizing. Feels like we're constantly trying to outmaneuver a horde of development locusts, at the same time as lots of important work isn't getting done on their own projects.

Are you working on a client?
You don't know what our project is?
I saw the website but not sure what’s it about 😅
Maybe it’s a secret and that’s fine too
It's complicated. 😂
It'll be cool, once it's done.
If you don't want to work for OpenSats, you have to do something really complex, wide, and deep, so that they can't just hire 15 scriptkiddies and overrun the space you're in with free shit. It has to be something so big and so hard-core, that they can't even understand WTF you're doing.
You have to think very strategically because they can just drown you, as they have millions of dollars in funds. I call them Nostrsoft. 😅
The upside is, something like that is something that you really can charge money for and you don't have to worry about someone copying it because it's something that generates a heck of a lot of maintenance and support work, rather than being something small and snazzy someone can just fork.
100%
Scriptkiddies 😂😂
I might have to meme some of this
The mindset I've had to adopt is just to keep my head down and work on the project. The winds of public opinion/popular demand shift on a weekly or even daily basis, and there's no way we can keep up with that. One day folks want Nostr Git, the next it's discovery algorithms, and the next it's walled gardens and web of trust stuff. We've got ideas for all of those things, but very limited time, so it's always a "we'll get to that...eventually."
It's fun, though. I wouldn't be working on Nostr stuff if I didn't enjoy it.
