Oddbean new post about login | logout For sustainability, I mean, and to keep the devs who don't get grants (which will be almost all of them, if Nostr expands globally) motivated because they can get zaps INSTEAD of grants.
If you're in Angola and making a fishing app, you shouldn't be thinking you need to apply for a grant, to monetize your effort. We have zaps for that. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzphtxf40yq9jr82xdd8cqtts5szqyx5tcndvaukhsvfmduetr85ceqyt8wumn8ghj7emjv4jkuum0w4kzuumsv93k2tcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qpqzjr7rf5vqeufh3lgg4uvz0kmn5k0el4l9vrvnrs8uwjze4ygm30qt3cs4u
We lay the cultural groundwork NOW, that we zap our devs and creators. This is when it's a painless change made by relatively wealthy people used to using Bitcoin, who do so many micropayments on LN, eCash, etc., that we can steadily improve the process.
Is there infrastructure in place to showplace devs looking for grants? Something like a kickstarter directly on Nostr where zaps could easily be crowdfunded. Notes get lost in the shuffle fairly quickly here.
https://opensats.org/ no?
Looks like OpenSats is an intermediary. I’m talking more direct
I could see that. Where you could select your favorite devs from a list and zap them all at once, with a big zap-split, or individually.
@Karnage has an app explorer. That would probably be a good place to find stuff to zap. https://www.nostrapps.com/
Would just need to add npubs to the app entries.
That sounds like a pretty straightforward way to accomplish this
https://nostrapp.link/ has the app author's npub and you can zap them iirc I also built https://heya.fund/ which can be useful for devs wanting to raise funds.
TIL that there's an app for finding and zapping your favorite devs over their app listing. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqla9dawkjc4trc7dgf88trpsq2uxvhmmpkxua607nc5g6a634sv5qqsyunjzryh00glv3cqlppncasptw4c9cknc7tundd06y3vqmuj248qamd83s
Nostr app.link seems more complete, how is it populated?
it's populated with NIP-89 information so every time a dev creates an app and publishes the app definition to nostr it should appear there. nostr native and automatically updated which is pretty cool, @brugeman is the author.
was just thinking about Heya today with all the noise 💜
