FORWARD WITH LOVE 💜
Substack’s getting more traction and moving beyond text and newsletters.

What’s most interesting is why people are moving to or sticking with substack. It’s traffic generation. They’re taking a 10% cut of revenue but they are able to use the platform and network to drive 50% of new subscribers and 30% of new paid subscribers to each substack creator. Sure, creators also need to build traffic, but the power is in the network which grows an audience.
If we are going to see Nostr as a protocol for creators who run a business, we need to make it easier for them to build an audience. That can be algorithims, but it could also be making it easier to recommend good content, share lists, etc…
The other issue we face with creators is that subscriptions are much more valuable to a creator than one off payments. With NWC and wallets we CAN do subscriptions, but we haven’t made it easy and nostr connected the way zaps are.
It’s worth remembering that the Mommy Bloggers cracked PR and Marketing (and early expert/influencer models) for Web 2.0. We need more moms/wives on #nostr
I'm seeing many examples of fair and impartial journalism in the mainstream, covering all sides of an issue. Search out reputable sources and question propaganda and see which has lasting impact. Truth wins
My advice from building four versions of MyLibrarian, testing with users and pulling the product from market to improve it more, is to talk to users and domain experts. Do as much testing as you can.

My first thought is: book tracking is what people like most about Goodreads, so that is good, however there are many apps that already do this, what is your point of difference?

Let's all remember to think critically, fact-check and evaluate. The best thing about our democracy is that we all have the freedom to think for ourselves.
I just want to point out that episode of nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 is quite unique… nostr:npub1dg6es53r3hys9tk3n7aldgz4lx4ly8qu4zg468zwyl6smuhjjrvsnhsguz lives in Tel Aviv, and in the middle of our conversation she started to hear the missile warning sirens and then started hearing missiles exploding nearby, but she insisted we keep the conversation going…
Something that is completely surreal to me is extremely real to her…
I highly recommend you follow nostr:npub1dg6es53r3hys9tk3n7aldgz4lx4ly8qu4zg468zwyl6smuhjjrvsnhsguz and listen to/watch this conversation…

Untrue. Noncitizens won't try to register, it risks their position. "Every legitimate study ever done on the question shows that voting by noncitizens in state and federal elections is vanishingly rare."
