gitworkshop.dev and ngit have benefited greatly from the work you have done: analysis, testing, PM, etc. I am personally very grateful.

sourcing funding for this in nostr may be challenging. Many nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f grants are like mine: for 1 dev full-time. Most projects don't have access to a pot of money for this. It would be really nice to have a call-off pot for this and other things such as, the great work nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q has done on logo design. I wonder though if the Open Source dynamic changes, and an expectation is created, when smaller individual contributions are directly rewarded with money.

nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl It would be a shame for the community if you end up working a fiat TA/BA/QA role. In nostr you have: 1. identified need 2. motivation, 3. ability, 4. proof-of-work, 5. opportunity (don't currently have a job). you are just missing 6. resources.

Given the funding in the space, it would be disappointing if you were unable access some of that because your work is somewhat of a niche in nostr.

If you need references or anything please let me know. Perhaps you could get a number of projects you have contributed to to include references as part of a grant proposal?

I actually quit my fiatjob, to get nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz off the ground, but it hums along nicely, now, and my household is starting to eat the seed corn, so I have to do something else for income.

There are actually a lot of remote requirements management, support, testing, etc. fiat positions open, but they all sound sort of boring. 😂 Was thinking about going back to logistics, instead. But then I'm really gone because then I'd be spending all day inspecting dangerous goods tanks at the port, or something.
