I've been feeling burnt out lately, despite the absolute privilege of being able to develop on nostr, so for the first time in probably around 8 years I'm going to take a 2+ week vacation this summer. No code, no nostr, no email.

This will hurt me more than it will hurt you. But it'll allow me (Lord willing) to come back fresh and ready to tackle the next steps of making Coracle the nostr client it needs to be.

Not sure yet what I'm going to do with myself for two weeks — but I have a hunch taking my 8 year old son on a backpacking trip might be part of it. I've always wanted to see Mt Rainier up close.

What is nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 ?

It's hard to say.

It's a new kind of social app, that's part NomadList, part Meetup, part Instagram, Google Places and Trip Advisor.

Some might say "this is not a good thing" bc people don't know how to categorise it, which is a fair criticism, but I'd argue, there was also no way to really describe Facebook or Instagram when they first came onto the scene.

Building something NEW requires that you discover what you are along the way. Especially if you're trying to fundamentally transform an industry. If you just want to build another widget or app - sure - it helps to solve a very narrow problem, and position it in a way that's very easy to relate back to something that exists.

But...if your aim is to do something both new, and transformative, you have to push boundaries and build things in a way that makes more intuitive sense, than logical sense.

That being said, it's got to be done in stages, with each stage delivering some form of very clear & precise value.

This week, we'll roll out the first version of Satlantis at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r which is basically a "City Home Page" derived from social content on Nostr.

Anyone can follow a city, post content about anything in a city, search for & join events, find people in that city, connect with them directly, learn about a city (scores, stats, gallery) and see a dynamic feed with content people are posting on OTHER Nostr apps (if they hashtag the city).

In the coming weeks and months, we'll be rolling out rich user profiles, a feature rich merchant map with some really cool review & content features, and much more.

Stay tuned.
