Other NWC projects that we hope will become great, fully fledge products soon:
🎶 SonicStream - "Spotify but transparent with NWC lightning payouts directly to artists". This has potential!
https://devpost.com/software/sonicstream
Suggestr, a Nostr client where you can suggest Nostr profiles to broadcast certain posts and even bribe them to do so! Bribe payouts are NWC powered, of course.

Finally, two similar projects: Karpatio & Bitcoin Free Market are Nostr-based decentralised product marketplaces, that connects customers directly with local businesses. NWC is enabled by https://bitcoin-connect.com/ integration.
