I think the grants are useful as seed money for a novel program or to spend on training devs and stuff, but it's counterproductive to expect them to pay for everything forever.
At some point, the thing is there and getting used and then the users need to at least consider pulling out their wallets.
For sustainability, I mean, and to keep the devs who don't get grants (which will be almost all of them, if Nostr expands globally) motivated because they can get zaps INSTEAD of grants.
Is there infrastructure in place to showplace devs looking for grants? Something like a kickstarter directly on Nostr where zaps could easily be crowdfunded. Notes get lost in the shuffle fairly quickly here.
#asknostr
I could see that. Where you could select your favorite devs from a list and zap them all at once, with a big zap-split, or individually.
Yep exactly.
nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac has an app explorer. That would probably be a good place to find stuff to zap. https://www.nostrapps.com/
Would just need to add npubs to the app entries.
That sounds like a pretty straightforward way to accomplish this
https://nostrapp.link/ has the app author's npub and you can zap them iirc
I also built https://heya.fund/ which can be useful for devs wanting to raise funds.
Nostr app.link seems more complete, how is it populated?
it's populated with NIP-89 information so every time a dev creates an app and publishes the app definition to nostr it should appear there. nostr native and automatically updated which is pretty cool, nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy is the author.
Thank you ser 🙏🏻
Thanks for the info!
was just thinking about Heya today with all the noise 💜
