I have been quiet lately, but it is for some good reason.
I am turning my medical device company ( eyenetra.com ) into an open-source project.
As some of you may know, I spent the past 15 years trying to increase access to eyeglasses by developing and shipping a new class of vision-testing devices. Even though we shipped thousands of units and served millions of patients, Nostr made me realize what I was missing all along: true decentralization.
All of our hardware designs and software will be made available to the FOSS community to build their own vision-testing devices and services. And I am going to be working with design/manufacturing partners across the globe to bring them to the market in as many variations as we can.
It has been a long process but I finally have all approvals to make it happen. Thanks to all my shareholders who believed in this idea and allowed me to make it happen.
The future is bright.

Seeing things like this happen at The NOSTR leave me speachless.
Seeing you @Vitor Pamplona taking tough decisions for major changes deserves all respect.
Hope your project will grow on this move.

Awesome work. Kudos Vitor.
Wow thatβs amazing! Do you anticipate a dip in revenue from this?
For sure. But It was either staying a small business forever or trying something else. We will see if it will work.
DMβing you about helping in this project
I'm less impressed by amethyst now, but only because this right here blows me away!
Thank you for your service to humanity!

It's really fascinating how a novel vision can open new energies and transform in better consolidated project and business.
Good luck!

Impressive move π
Awesome project!
If you're not already aware appropedia.org is a great organization for open source knowledge, especially in developing countries. Consider adding some information there to take the project further and leverage students and a global community!
