Nostr Web Client

This will likely be the last year of damus. Will try my best to make this thing sustainable, but nostr clients don’t make money and I once funding runs dry its over as I can only burn saving for so long. Glad I was able to help play a small part in this regardless of what happens. Going to give it my all next year to try to keep the dream alive. Thanks for coming along for the ride ✌️

Here are a few things that come to mind that may help!

Getting sustainable/consistent income:

1. Have a dialogue that pops up once after installation, that allows users to opt-in to zap-splits, so that every time someone zaps a post, Damus gets a %

2. A "Damus+"/"Damus Pro" etc paid subscription tier with extra features

3. Turn amazon/walmart/etc links in posts into referral links, and have that be opt-in of course.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s As for lowering expenses, it would be totally reasonable to turn the Damus relay into a nostr:npub1pages5yhmncmmfxuza9f9fx68fju0nxnewtlffzrapsufax5mv0sznuw9d style contact-list relay meant only to bootstrap gossip discovery of other users relays. There can be a second full fledged Damus relay that subscribers to Damus+ get access to. As it is, the Damus relay shoulders way too much of the load.
