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.
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 πŸ‘Œ 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.
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.
