I'm completely mindblown that getting ~80% of the way to a decentralized, anonymous bounty marketplace on nostr took less than a day of work.

I've been an application developer for about 15 years and the only "platform" that even came close to this level of efficiency and speed-to-market was Urbit - which had a pile of other flaws, with new user barrier-to-entry being at the top of the list.

When I'm done with this, anyone will be able to easily and permissionlessly create a keypair and start posting bounties or working on them, handling payments with soverieign and private Lightning payments.

I didn't have to ask for permission, sign up for anything, or deal with needlessly complex hosting or build pipelines - nor will a finished version require _me_ to custody any user data. (Of course, this also means I won't be making any money directly from it)

This is unprecedented and tragically undervalued.
