⚡️Event Zapper⚡️
Brief background…
I can't code 😥, so about 1 month ago I posted a bounty on bountsr.org for an idea called “Event Zapper”. Zero expectations!
Event Zapper could enable conference or meetup attendees to instantly "Zap" the speakers on stage, and see their Zaps appear in real-time on the screen or projector - think Twitch tips IRL. This idea was inspired by nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft 's Zaplife.lol screen at Bitcoin Conf 2023.
I very roughly sketched out the idea and posted it, along with the biggest bounty I could afford (which as a mere pleb, was not that much).
WELL, SOMEONE ACTUALLY STARTED BUILDING IT! 🤯🤯🤯. That someone is the awesome nostr:npub1q32he28lj7pk56p6zv6y3aykg8wtffkl8rvmg7fv2nekkuxys4asdyrkgv.
It's so cool to see a personal idea come alive like this, I really hope we can continue to build this out, and at some point see more zapping happening in meatspace!
(note: it doesn’t work with mobile screen sizes, better to try when you’re on a laptop/desktop!)

App: https://event-zapper.vercel.app
We will need mobile LN wallets that can read multiple QRs and keep them in memory so you can just tap the pic of whichever of the multiple speakers
on your phone to zap them.
Otherwise you would have to continually rescan individual QRs again and again.
Just thinking out loud.
