update on my progress on that landing page... i got stuck setting up my dev enviroment instead of asking these important questions... this JS ecosystem 🤦‍♂️
i'll try to write up the content this week, then do the design and implementation this weekend.

2024-02-04 12:00:10

This is very relevant for me now actually. Going to reference this for a landing page design I need to do today for BOLT.FUN -- need to let companies and organisations know they can also use the platform to list their own hackathons. I'll give feedback then.

You make a good point about server cost. But the model still change from a lump sum recurring amount to pay-per use ? Like serverless / AWS lambda introduced. That would make a case for Lightning and L402.

I'm not doing a complete 180 on bootstrapping and building businesses... but this weekend I had a discussion about hipstamatic launched in early 2009 which was bootstrapped and instagram venture backed and launched in oct 2010.
here's a little summary I generated:
\- Hipstamatic launched in 2009, available for a direct purchase price with additional in-app purchases for lenses, films, and filters.
\- Instagram, founded in October 2010, quickly focused on social networking and received significant VC funding: $500,000 in February 2011 and $7 million in April 2011.
\- Instagram's user growth was rapid, reaching 1 million users by December 2010, 10 million by September 2011, and 30 million by April 2012.
\- Instagram was acquired by Facebook in April 2012 for approximately $1 billion.
\- Hipstamatic's focuses mainly on its niche market of photography enthusiasts without significant public funding or acquisition events

hmm I believe there's a potential for computing devices to evolve into something more simplified on the UI side but do you think the tech is already there to actually have a better UX? especially given speech-to-text isn't perfect as yet? I'm that guy that uses speech to text on a daily basis (in ChatGPT and messaging apps), but still often have to revert to correcting bits and pieces manually.
I do like the idea of an open personal device though. would be great if folks can replace batteries, and do other kinds of upgrades / fixes. actually there was a modular phone startup that google bought and killed it though.

@starbuilder first off congrats on getting into the cohort, excited to see what you guys ship! i was thinking to visit Madeira to have some discussions about design and UX.
it's also an interesting case you make for Nostr's differentiator to be AI. the network of AI Models and Applications... I was speaking to @Aljaz about L401 recently, and basically there's not much incentives by existing companies to change their business models to support L401 for instance. It'll have to take something new to drive the pressure on the consumer side even, from the business side they're just looking to increase profits, and SaaS subscriptions will probably still be the most profitable for a while, especially for new companies.
That's all to say 🙌 you've given me something to think about wrt Nostr's place in this future.

Hey there Jake. First off... congrats on the launch, I actually checked it out when you posted a few days ago! I love the fact that you did it with no-code tools also, it's something i've been trying to encourage people in the community here. Great example of a maker finding their way to solve a problem.
To your question about growth and marketing -- We're going through a similar thing on bolt.fun where we want to encourage makers to help one another and not only post their own things. Here's some of what I've been thinking about:
1\. I was considering joining this Buffer Accelerator. Having a social presence for any company/project is kind of important especially if you do not have an audience yet.
[https://buffer.com/ai-accelerator](https://buffer.com/ai-accelerator)
2\. I'm realising how much of a media company we are. Same as QFG, if you switch to that kind of thinking - than being a "platform" or "social network" then you can start considering how to repurpose your content in various ways.
Here's what we're setting up: Makers in the community post projects, questions, updates, and other pieces of content. We made a podcast before highlightning projects, and posts, but I don't have the time to do one anymore. It used to be held on Twitter Spaces (to reach a broader audience) but was really good cause we'd get 20-40 people listening live, learning about what's happening in the community.
\- We're going to again start sending out a weekly newsletter that highlights the most active makers, those which provided value for others, as well as our community partners.
3\. We're hiring a community manager. Sometimes finding someone who's good at community if you aren't / don't have the time is the best way to grow the project. It's always difficult to be solo founding.
4\. Sometimes you gotta do things that don't scale. I'm constantly sending posts in the community feed to my contacts who could help / give feedback on a story or question.
\---
Ok so if you're thinking about it as if you're a media company, even if you're not the one creating the content you can still guide what is being posted. We have tournaments, which help "guide" makers towards the types of projects we want to see in the ecosystem (to some extent). For example, in the early days we did a webln hackathon, we did the first Nostr hackathon, then an AI hackathon, etc. You can have a theme each month, for the types of questions that people are encouraged to post about.
\- October: Lets get questions answered about the things that spook you out regarding bitcoin / security. Or a more positive theme relating to the white paper anniversary.
\- November: Questions about economics and bitcoin in business
\- December; Questions to get content prepared for the network launch in January
etc. etc
You'd create the graphics (using canva?) for the social posts, talk about the theme of the month in other channels. Try to invite some influential people to ask questions, or get them answered (things that don't scale), do youtube live streams, or whatever you can to transform the content and spread the word.
Your role is ultimately to amplify the voices on your platform.
Hopefully this was helpful. It was a bit of a brain dump sorry I didn't structure it very well...

We have a maker in the community Arkin0x who from my knowledge was the first to explore the metaverse / cyberspace concept on nostr. I was crazy excited to such kind of project, but it does look like a great deal of technical, creative, and planning work involved so i get it why you want to focus on the design side first.
I'd advise to check out Arkin0x and Onosendai

Perhaps there could even be a collaboration, between these virtual spaces.

Hey there @NoStranger! No problem if you're late to the party, there's still time to dance. You can create something that's more on the design side.
Even without a complete project, conceptual ideas are welcomed. Here’s how you can prepare your entry as something that isn't fully developed yet:
**Detail Your Project**
\- Define the problem, solution, and value proposition clearly.
\- Highlight potential market impact and innovation.
**Create Mockups, Journey Maps, and Write up a Case Study:**
If you won't have time to build something functional (which is eventually meant to be built), I would suggest going the extra mile in your design process. Design is a great planning tool, and being thoughtful and communicating a good plan can be impactful. Also, share your knowledge about the topic and #DesignInPublic so we can keep track of your progress.
**Set Up a GitHub Repository:**
Include a detailed README, design files, and a development roadmap even if you don't have time for the development. Before you write a line of code, it's important to have a good plan which also makes it more real.
**Record a Video Pitch:**
Explain your vision, showcase your mockups, and discuss your #buildinpublic plans. Keep it succinct yet informative.
**Engage in the Community:**
Share your progress, seek feedback, and interact with other makers on the community feed.

Although this doesn’t have to be a consideration for your initial version — I was wondering if these events are published it would mean that the rest of the world can also see settlements between two people. Is that something you’re aiming to tackle in this version, it would be important to communicate this properly in the app.

Come on tell us more about whats happening on the hardware side. I'm personally interested since everything I do is software and never really got a chance to play around with raspberry pis and ardunios.
Why do we need a flow meter? Solenoid valve?
Really happy to see hardware getting built. Is there any help / feedback you're looking for?
Also what would the difference be serving beer vs another drink? For example, at HUB21 (belgrade hackerspace) we wanted to have a Rakiya dispenser since it'd be more Serbian. Could your hardware be configured for different types of drinks?
Since Rakiya is a bit stronger, and well we don't wanna promote drinking too much while working I was thinking imagine the cost of a drink starts really high in the morning, then gradually goes down to a normal price by 5:00PM -- since you don't want someone staying at the hacker space too late though, it starts to go back up after 8:00PM
Then that could all be viewed / configured by hackerspace admins on the electron / mobile app with some funny stats showing alcohol consumption vs cost.

just amazing work! this new UI is really really sleek too. wow... very impressed guys. there's absolute usefulness even outside of the bitcoin / nostr sphere, and the lightning and nostr integrations work really well with alby.
on the ui when a contractor is done processing i would love to get a small previews though. mid journey does good with this when it loads up the images as they're processing so you can see the magic happen.
Thanks for coming back, hope we can keep yalls to continue building in public here - there's lots of space for integration and usage within the maker community.

It’s funny, @Lana and I were discussing a Lofi Hip Hop style channel for BOLT.FUN makers a couple weeks ago. She's an artist/illustrator, so we were thinking of getting her to flex those skills to make some cool visual like the LoFi girl but in the "BOLT.FUN Universe"
STFU and take my sats... I wanna launch my own and maybe others too!
I'm curious – is the goal to allow others to deploy their own "stations" or is it primarily for your own station? The notion of being able to deploy one of these, infuse our own graphics/theme, yet retain a similar mechanism for adding tunes and viewing the chat would be fantastic, even as a self-service platform or if you could consult with folks who might want to launch one for themselves. For example, we have a hackerspace in Belgrade, Serbia, and members of the community who work from it could control the music there, OR those who are in the Telegram community could "mess with us" creating a connection for those working in the hub, as well as the wider community.
Whats the story?? Had a bad encounter with a DJ? 😅 It's ok this is a safe space.

A couple things:
1\. Probably not relevant but just got an ad for [serbonika.com](//serbonika.com) and thought of your project. I'm in belgrade so should probably try to learn serbian so would definitely test that one out
2\. Since you got the tailwind part resolved are you finding it useful? Did you use templates?
Keep it going!

Yo, your youtube got some great content! Cool project too! A long time ago I used to use Vim (when I had the time to code) was really proud of my NERDTree setup with Tmux, YouCompleteMe, and Tabular on Vim but I think your setup is next level esp with Nostr integrated now 😁!
For markdown I write on Obsidian these days and actually another maker created a plugin for it to post to Nostr too. You can check it out here: https://bolt.fun/story/introducing-nostr-writer-obsidian-plugin--999
