 In the same way that substack helps convert email subscribers into paying community members

Could you have a Nostr client that converts followers into a paying community member

 I like your idea, Nostr has to bring the good ideas that existed in previous media and eliminate the perverse incentives they had. Hopefully, some dev will hear your words. 
 Yeah I think it could be very powerful

 What do you think of this development?

 Let me take a look. Thanks for sharing 
 I couldn't agree more. I think the first step might be to get something that augments Substack, and others, rather than replaces.

They can have a play around, start to experience it etc

They have a far bigger problem to solve and therefore NEED

Always a few ways to peel the onion 
 not a product per se but enabling self fulfilling solutions from market choice/ natural law follows value & i will pay for value.  does this make sense? not just ux but clearly designed choices for peeps like me. scuse, it's late here & nostr is in early stage dev. 
 I think I follow. Ie, as long as it's a market lead approach, followed up with good design, that's intuitive, then it will be a good thing to work on
