Working on custom user lists and thinking about funding development of NostrGram in perpetuity. The ⚡ are *greatly* appreciated but the project is mostly self-funded now in terms of time and the hardware costs of the caching servers.
I was thinking of creating a membership (like a patreon but not necessarily on the platform), and I'll still do that if need be, but I would prefer it if the ⚡ people generously gave were enough.
Of course, that requires reminding people of the need to ⚡ to support the project, which means I would have to put something in the interface that reminds people. Right now I'm doing that each time I push an update. There's a pop-up and it has a button to support the project.
But once the updates slow (at least the ones users see in the front) I'll still need a way to remind users of ongoing expenses. I'm thinking about putting a noticeable (but not annoying) reminder somewhere in the UI that makes it easy to contribute.
What are your thoughts on this? As always I'm interested in what the people using NostrGram would prefer. Would you rather a membership with some benefits to you for supporting, or would you just prefer an icon that reminds you to ⚡ some sats sometimes?
Just thinking out loud. Nothing is set in stone at this point.
