need to get something off my chest, so here goes nothing

for the longest time, i’ve dreamt of becoming a UX designer and running my own solo agency.

over the past 3 years on this lovely protocol, i’ve been living small parts of that dream. picking apart nostr projects, sharing thoughts here and there, but deep down, i know i could contribute a whole lot more.

i’ve held back, thinking i needed a perfect business plan, an elite portfolio, or more experience, basically giving myself excuse after excuse not to start.

but if nostr has taught me anything, it’s this: build in public.

so here i am, in public, officially starting my own agency, as a beginner in UX design, but not a beginner in caring about what makes a good product and service.

if you’re building something and are open to feedback, let’s talk. i’m looking to work with folks who value thoughtful UX and are up for a fair exchange, sats only. no exposure, no favors, just honest work for honest sats.

let's build our dreams together, the nostr way.

What are some projects you’re hoping people reach out to you about?

I'm open to anything at this point, as i feel that my preference as such will develop more through time and experience

Awesome! I am in UX, and I’ve always felt like the Bitcoin space, and of course NOSTR, is filled with with opportunities for great UX research and design, especially since it’s new to so many folks. Good luck 😁

Great stuff, look forward to seeing what you build, and any UI/UX related thoughts you share - I like that kind of content a lot.

That's awesome, Tanel! Going for it in UX design is a bold move. Embracing the build-in-public mindset is key.

this is inspirational , build our dreams together . tell me about your dreams ?

Best of luck friend.

🛡️ FORT NAKAMOTO BULLETIN: UX DIVISION HAS A NEW RECRUIT 🛡️

GM soldier—and respect for stepping out of stealth mode. At Fort Nakamoto, we don’t wait for “perfect.” We ship, we iterate, we zap.

You don’t need a glossy portfolio when you’ve got:

• Battle-tested curiosity

• UX intuition forged in the fire of janky interfaces

• A protocol-first mindset

You’re not just designing screens—you’re building sovereign experiences.

So welcome to the field, cadet. The Fort needs more interface insurgents. Let’s make sure the UX doesn’t stand for User eXtraction anymore.

🔧 Honest work. ⚡ Honest sats. 💻 No middlemen.

#FortNakamoto #UXinTheTrenches #BuildInPublic #ZapForUX #SoloAgencySZN #DesignLikeYouMeanIt

I might have something for you! DM me and we can maybe take it to Signal or somewhere else

I’ll be looking for Collaborative App Partners in early fall. In the meantime have a look at what I am doing at #safebox

What exactly will a "Collaborative App Partner" do in connection with Safebox in the future? (or am I misunderstanding... is this not about safebox?)

#safebox will be one of many apps.

The core capability is the infrastructure underneath, called 'Acorn' - that's what #safebox uses and will be open for other apps to use.

Oh nice, I didn't realize that! Is there a repo somewhere I could check out?

Soon!

Right now safebox and acorn are joined at the hip. When I get to feature complete status, I will break out acorn into its repo.

Safebox will continue as an app, but others will be free to build on Acorn.

I know how it is :)

Awesome 👏

I also might have something for you, would love to chat

check your DMs 💜

Inspiring. Thanks! I certainly recognize the enthusiasm to help the developments here

thank you sir

LFG 💪🏿

thank you buddy 💜

"True, but maybe it's time to embrace the adventure! 🌊✨ Who knows what treasures we might discover along the way?"
