last day of work Dec 15th
And who will pay you for your work?
I did quit my job to work on open source.
One of my project is Nostria, a Nostr app and service provider. If I can reach 1500 paid subscribers I'd be able to sustain this app and service for as long as people want it.
It's a challenge though to get there, have used a lot of my savings, did a pre-seed fund raising that was successful, which I'm very grateful for. Yet it takes time and dedication, which I got, but eventually the money runs out.
Funding is an issue for a lot of open source, yet finding good business models for them shouldn't be that hard. Many projects only need enough to sustain the developers, not make a lot of extra profits.
Truly hope that Nostria will be successful in the long run, it's shaping up to be a very nice Nostr app and the goal is to reach new user adoption.
This is a very good point, and honestly it shouldn't be that hard to get such a number of subscribers, that will be a sustainable model.
With v2 of angor we'll bring subscriptions, but I believe that's already available on getalby (also btcpay will soon bring subscriptions)
