#nostrdesign 
 I need funding so I can buy a new phone  
 💜 I’m gonna hit you up soon. Myself and @førd are cooking something up and will for sure be looking for some feedback 🤗 
 Awesome! Look forward to it! 
 Hey Karnage, I sent you a DM 
 I have an idea for a “social networking” app. Something in between tinder and foursquare, but my designer skills are limited and my coding is non existent 
 I will be honest with you. It's very hard to get anything done without coding skills. Even as a designer, most of the work will go untouched. I have projects upon projects that never saw the light of code. This is just how things are.

If you have an idea, just share it here on Nostr and if it's a good one, maybe someone takes you up on it. But, speaking from experience, that rarely if ever happens. Ideas are easy, execution is hard. 

I would put my ideas out there in as best of a format as I could and hope someone finds them interesting enough to take the next step.

 What is it? 
 One of those things to remind you that your job is not easy 
 You would have 9 balls with different activities to share (library/cultural; dancing/concerts; drinks; sports; food; gaming; adventure; professional partnership; random)

You would then see a sub list of activities related to the category you chose.

After picking one (could also be random option) you should see the map with every spot nearby where you can do or practice the activity.

Choose the spot and pair with someone, then set the time and date and hotstop there.

 
 Looks similar to Everydate 
It would be a lot of work to recreate maps and such. I like everydate approach where you just suggest an activity and people can respond to it. 
 Never had heard of everydate before…
Mfs seem to beat me to it.
Couldn’t open maps or something like that be used ?
The main feature would be the map:
A) for creating a comercial strategy for revenue (partnerships with businesses and stores)
B) to give emphasis to phisical locations 

Although it’s a little similar it’s like bumble and tinder  
 It would connect people through physical places. You want to share a glass of wine in some bar, discuss a book in the library or skate in the nearest skatepark. Not exclusive to romance but focused on meeting new people.
Businesses could pay to have relevant features.
This+nostr=🤯 
 Every developer wants their product to succeed, yet so few developers care about design and the ones that do often think their own "designs" are better than what an experienced UX/UI designer can produce. 
 Tasktiger.io could def use some help with design!

Not sure if the timing is right as we still have a bunch of features with complex UI/UX to be materialized. Will keep you guys under our radar 
 Ok yeah reach out any time! 
 nostrage.com could use your help 
 Just a website? 
 Hello. The help I could use most right now is spreading the word that there is an online store that people can use to sell things for Bitcoin.

No registration. No need to self host anything. Just spin up a key pair, list your items and tell people about your store. It uses Nostr on the back end, so no databases or server side code either.

Demo is at MagicWebStore.xyz and it lives up to the name.


I am working on putting together an #OpenSats application for funding development, but honestly, if we could just spread the word about this project, I think people will feel this is valuable and if there were enough donations. I would work on coding, documentation, UI and anything else that needs done for up to 20 hours/week if it meant I could pay for food, rent and such.

Beyond that, it could be an excellent tool for helping with Bitcoin and Nostr adoption among people who don't really care about either, but just want to sell things for money that doesn't devalue at 2-10% per year.

So if having something like this in the world sounds good to you, please spread the good word!

And yes, we will need visual design help at some point, so I'll keep your offer in mind for the future. ❤️ 
 Oh yeah I’ve seen magic web store, cool stuff! Happy to help when you need design assistance or even be involved earlier in the process. 

The last time I looked at it, I felt it needed some UI and UX work to bring it up to a serious contender look and feel and I’m glad you’re still working on it. 

I may kick around design ideas in my spare time just for fun. 
 Awesome. Yeah, not being able to put HTML into listings is really cramping my style. That'll be on the short list for upcoming features. 
 We could use some help at https://keys.band 
 Ok I’ll take a look and dm you 
 Everything is off center on mobile just fyi  
 Great job Karnage💜

  @thenostrworld we'd love your help for the next conf  
 Just launched today https://noswot.org. It's only a website but can see making an app/browser extension to help decentralize and integrate a client-side WoT with more use cases. Source code available at codeberg.org/weex/noswot 
 I entered my npub and it brought me to a list of users I think, could idea but idk what the information is telling me  
 Excellent, the list of users starts with most trusted in the network made from the people you follow, and who they follow, and so on.

Currently it's most usable to browse the trusted and see who else you might want to follow.

Or click pleb mode and you'll browse deeper into the network to find lesser known accounts that are still not spammers or junk. 
 Changed the title text on the scored page so let me know if that makes it any clearer. It's a bit hard to compare with other kinds of lists people tend to see. 
 Hi, I have a question about the void.cat image service.

Most of the time I visit the site or load images into my site from there I am getting SSL errors saying the cert is bad, if I manually click “proceed anyways” on browser I can get through and then images and void.cat loads.

Was wondering if you know of this issue and if I can resolve it on my side? Or if it is an issue with ssl cert on the server. Thanks!
  
 @Karnage just open sourced a project and would like to see if yall can offer some design advice. Thanks! It's at zapmap.mapstr.xyz or https://github.com/vinaylalco/zapmap 
 Will add it to the growing queue! 😂 
 I'll take the help when you can!🙏 
 Did you see my other note? 
 Replied....  
 Is this based on bitcoin cash map or btcmap.org?

Also, what’s the advantage of this map over btcmap.org? 
 Neither its based on open street maps data but this is same data btcmap.org pulls from I believe. Adv of this app is you can add reviews or locations and be eligible to earn zaps for you efforts. Adding reviews to open source version this week 👌 its really more like a Nostr events as map application as you could map any location you like not just BTC related. I added the btc locations just to have some points for people to play with but you could also tweak to add whatever open street map data you like. Chalets, viewpoints, cafes, etc. Anything mapped in OSM. 
 I see. You’re not afraid it would incentivize sloppy work? For the sake of zaps ⚡️ 
 I can see reviews being super helpful though and worth of zaps as long as not abused 
 No different at the moment than someone adding a no value note in Damus or Amethyst. If people don't like it it doesn't get zapped. Simples. Although there is another feature I'm looking into which will run into that problem. Check out mapstr.xyz which is based on open source version but has a few more goodies. On right menu find the Supercell icon and you'll see a zap split idea. 
 Are there any pins to look at on demo map? I couldn’t find any 
 It's pulling btc locations within 104km so you may be unlucky. I can add more data if that helps. Like cafes or something so it's more likely to get a hit. 
 I'll tell you when it's up
