and not to leave out the praise i feel, nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr also is a one-dude situation who has built a really amazing nostr client that does a separate set of things that are equally almost perfect in their execution
this really drills at the heart of why nostr will win in the long run
because it has a unit that is small enough that one dude can encompass it with aplomb
You're self-hosting it, tho.
And he's losing control of the sprawling codebase. It's grown too big and complex, for one person, and the bugs are creeping in. Especially, since he started working on Blossom, in parallel. Those are two, relatively large, popular projects, that need to be constantly updated and actively maintained and monitored, run by one, single person, who works almost entirely alone.
Incredibly brittle structure. That is not how we win.
Notifications, wiki, articles, reply threading, AUTH, event embedding, etc. all unstable and unpolished, in the newer increments. He might have to start removing functionality, to make sure that he can maintain the remainder.
my point is just that this wouldn't exist if it weren't for the level good programmers can get to
to take it to the next level does need a good team and it especially need legit architects, architecture is the hardest skill to learn because software does sprawl far beyond the ability to consider it in one "mind-full" if you know what i mean... beyond a couple of source files it is an elephant and you are a blind man
Also, really there needs to be a revenue model... nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3e82efwvdhk6tcprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0wdshgetvd35hgefwdpa8yep3xsujucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzqfngzhsvjggdlgeycm96x4emzjlwf8dyyzdfg4hefp89zpkdgz99auacd9 was talking about a premium features subscription then nothing followed
Has anyone tried to just be like:
"Hey guys, I've got this new release here where I fixed this and this bug, made x feature way better, etc etc.... Buuuut, I won't release it until this post gets ⚡1.234.567."

Needs UX to give zappers tons of recognition of course.
nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 this is the sort of UVP that releasing apps on Nostr allows for.
What's wrong with a feature subscription though? Works very well for YouTube, protonmail, and many others... I just started using a paid search engine now too, this is the way.jpg
I don't know. I have a few, as well, and I like them. Also, just a nice way to support a project you like to use, and allow them to finance a free service for other people and stabilize their revenues.
We're going for the feature subscription thing, over a relay subscription. (Being whitelisted on theforest relay will open up additional functionality or services, and access to additional private relays.)
1. Offering hosting and computation services makes sense both for monetization and for providing a reliable product/experience
2. Pay-per-use of those services makes you more adaptive in a highly competitive market. Nothing stopping you from offering pre-paid bundles.
Grants postpone thinking about that sort of stuff
