Of course... This kind of tool makes no profit for the creator... But if one wants to be sovereign, it must be built. If no one else will, I will. I'll make it open source because I want everyone to have the tools to be as self sovereign as possible
It seems a lot of nostr adjacent apps have gone the route of creating a service that uses nostr. What we need are more tools to host your own content at your own domain that uses nostr. Instead of zap.stream and flare.pub we should have an app that the user can run and when hosting it, they can place their own content in their own webserver and the program handles nostr events for them. Sorry but if you're using zapp stream or uploading videos to flare.pub you are trusting those services to store your content. nostr will not protect you if the servers hosting your content goes dark. Put it on your own computer.
Nothing against these apps in particular. Just examples. We need them too and I'm very greatful for everything nostr:nprofile1qqspwut66nfqu2jztndq5gv4vf9q5jnncnmfwhckk9vnljrl53hj6kqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvh8w6tw9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tc0rh42p and nostr:nprofile1qqsx8lnrrrw9skpulctgzruxm5y7rzlaw64tcf9qpqww9pt0xvzsfmgprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qyvhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdshssfnq7m have contributed.
Ps...fuck we still need a good solution to Icann DNS registry. I guess everyone can have jumbled onion links...

The next version of Fanfares will be deployed as the first instance, with the plan to allow anyone to deploy their own stack just as you say. 🫡
Need to make deploying your own apps as frictionless as possible. If it's got configs, write wizards.
Probably need some good, cloudflare tunnel, Tailscale and hole sail tutorials for people too.
Not a critique of you, just thinking bout loud.
Tried to zap this but getting errors generating invoice. 🤔
Either way; love this mindset, this is the way.
Build good shit to build good shit, put humanity before profit. 💚
There are models that allow both “freedom” and “making a living” to exist, I.e: open source your infra, but allow PAID accounts and subscriptions using your hardware, higher upload limits, transcoding, whatever.
Strange... Someone else was having issues too. Keep in my you won't get a zap receipt.
Works for me though

Might be a weird Damus thing.
Running a service is work. I just like to build the stuff. Running it for more than just myself is a huge liability I'm not sure if I really even care to make money.
Right, gotta make money to live though. 😂
Either means having an income from said work, or working less on it (getting a side job instead).
I work FOSS full-time so an income is a necessity to continue.
Yep I totally get it. I have a normal engineering job that has nothing to do with coding
