 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.

 @Zapstore 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.
