I was thinking to myself the other day that maybe the #Nostr conferences should have some awards for developers, to recognize and reward and incentivize development:
Best notes-app/Twitter-clone
Best other stuff apps
Best relay developments
and the nostr development Oscar goes to nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg for adding gif's to chachi.
Discussion
I'm vaguely naive of programming... I have no agency in that world, beyond "hello world". How do I sponsor features or apps that I want to see become reality? I've heard of bug bounties, surely there's such thing as programming bounties, right?
most developers are pretty open when it comes to listening to the community. If you have certain feature in mind suggest it to the developers. As for supporting certain app development, just zap the developers or the apps official npub.
I like the idea!
