Nostr Web Client

I believe Nostr will enable way more self-employment and entrepreneurship.

Unscalable businesses, ones that require personal attention have a natural outlet here on Nostr. If you're using a platform to sell your services, you have to pay the platform and your work gets taxed. Building out via word of mouth, SEO and a website is a whole lot of work in of itself.

On Nostr, you can show endorsements. You have a natural network of people you know. There's an easy means of payment. And most importantly, you don't have to pay a tax to a platform. You can grow your own business without being dependent on some platform.

Word of mouth will play a much larger role in customer acquisition.

I wonder what types of businesses lend themselves best to the Nostr protocol 🤔

jimmysong 2y ago

Matchmaking of all types (e.g. dating, recruiting, mentoring, etc.)

Any form of specialized labor (e.g. dentist, plumber, lawn care, etc.)

Custom made-to-order goods

RobOK 🔸 2y ago

Yes especially with more specialized note types!

Mko 2y ago

And for every those, I can make they’re logo or graphic design needs. 🫡 All priced in zaps ⚡️

Nostr-based Upwork, Uber, AirBnB, etc.

It will be hard to get past the centralized platforms' network effect, but hey, that's what they said about Twitter too.

jimmysong 2y ago

The network effect is cumulative and natural. And it keeps growing as long as even one use case keeps growing. It's a super charged network effect

Feels a bit early to be here but I started a dog walking company during covid that does very well. Figure I will make a presence here way before anyone catches on to nostr lol.

Dating? How do one make a search like girls who own dogs?

I thnk searching is the missing piece in all these distributed info systems.

Jimmy, that’s me. I’m a water damage restoration and mold removal niche contractor. I found you on YT, then came here. Never been on Twitter. I’m interested in scaling our service business using this platform. Great job sir!

Would this be a place for EMR ? One could charge health systems / clinics for their data

Kim Stock 2y ago

And if you want to think in Fiat terms, you can pay currently up to about $24,000 over lightning….

AND THAT’S…..

Yes, you don't have to worry about getting De platformed either.

Forever Hodl 2y ago

Great point. If this works, nostr becomes a tech disruption risk to many 🕰️ 🧨

Well, let’s try this out. I made this raised bed cedar garden right at the outset of Covid and have been kind of not known what to do next. Let me know if this plan and video is of value to anyone.

Love it! I have a fruit/veg garden and built a mini kitchen island, kitchen cabinets and flipped a hard wood chest drawer last year (after a flood destroyed most furnitures). I have been struggling with the garden bench - but that’s because it was cheaper to get meranti where I’m from but I did not realise how much force was needed lol. Your videos has a nice mix of DIYs and fixes!

someone 2y ago

What do you grow?

pam 2y ago

Fruits avacado, citrus, star fruit, Ciku (tropical), veg right now lots of Brazilian spinach lol. And stuff for cooking pandan, lemon grass, curry leaves. Had batches of tomatoes, chillies, onions, potatoes, egg plants, lots of herbs, bunch of others but hectic workload hard to keep up. Do you have your own garden ?

someone 2y ago

😍 Yes I do veggie gardening and some trees. My climate is harsher than tropical though. During the winter my peas and onions handled the frost well. My sage doesn't care if it is freezing or super hot! Red mulberries are going berzerk, I could propagate them just by pruning and sticking the branches in the soil!

pam 2y ago

Is it hard managing a garden through diff seasons? it’s rain and sun here all year long

someone 2y ago

You are lucky! Yes a bit hard but if you find correct varieties you could still produce

MainStreetChungus 2y ago

🙏. Everyone always asks me if the squirrels get in, and they actually don’t. And it’s funny my mother in law is the gardener, I just made it!

pam 2y ago

What are you making next?

MainStreetChungus 2y ago

I did an “office split” with my wife where we split our office into 2 to WFH and did a full remodel of my bathroom… digging through the videos and pictures and will post soon! 🤙

btcmaxi 2y ago

That sounds like it would definitely help with WFH. A lack of a proper set up is what makes me somewhat unproductive when I’m working from home.

Well that and Nostr.

MainStreetChungus 2y ago

Lack of a proper set up is what makes it hard to work in the office now, my home office set up is 👌*kiss

Protocols > platforms

Just the ability to do this is amazing, can't wait until there is more structure to order notes into stores and galleries with products and services.
