Replying to Avatar Buluc Chabtan (BVLVC)

The idea looks very attractive , I LOVE IT, however.... it turns out that I am curious enough to have invested many hours, days and months just to understand something as simple as what the heck is github? but that is the easy part, suddenly you find yourself fixing your Environment variables because you have followed a blind process with zero IT knowledge, then you learn there is a kind of thing called libraries that you should be carrefull with and wich happen to be outdated xD, you end up with a full and slow hard drive, you are not even clear what you have installed at this point or remember the commands you launched, and all this while you are also producing yout own music which is already as complicated as programming. im not exagerating, the level of details that you have to pay attention when you produce is very high if your goal is to sound good. So I cant imagine this becoming the first option of most musicians in the world, its sad, but thanks for sharing, Hopefully I find some time free one of this days and try to implement this in my own website, at least I will give it a try.

For sure, it's not for everyone, and I realize that. I have a very specific person in mind when I build these tools. I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm building these things for me.

This is a hobby for me, and coding is one of my many creative outlets. That's why I haven't tried starting a business with any of this, I have found for me when I start mixing business with pleasure, the thing I enjoy doing ends up becoming work.

I realize I'm an odd person. I make my own wine, ferment my own food, grow vegetables in a garden, sew on my own buttons, have my own home gym, make my own candles, do my own home repairs, fix my own car, cook my own food, homeschool my children, built my own sprinkler system, do woodworking and leather work, read actual books, and host my own websites and feeds. Building apps is just another aspect of "I like to do things for myself".

I have found most people are content to consume rather than produce, to spend hours fingering their phone or watching their favorite team, eat unhealthy but convenient food, watch unhealthy but convenient content, read unhealthy but convenient social media posts. I realize the vast majority of people choose convenience. Those aren't my people.

The reason I'm on nostr promoting DIY solutions is because I thought there might be a higher percent of people like me. They're using buggy software on a new protocol, using money that's only 16 years old and most of the world doesn't understand. They talk about freedom tech and disrupting the system. I know not everyone here is going to be as independent as I am, and that's okay. There's lots of options for different people. I just want those that are more liberty or DIY minded to know that there are solutions available if they're willing to put in the work to discover a skill that will serve them for the rest of their lives. You seem like you might be one of those people. If so, I'm always happy to help a fellow traveler.
