yeah most people didn’t give a shit about open source work, but nostr is different. people seem to really care about what is happening here and are willing to put some money down for full-time work on features. Most open source projects don’t have enough users to sustain fulltime dev, so they end up being weekend projects that you tinker on outside your job. I mean we are nowhere near enough users to support many fulltime devs independently from grants, but maybe one day.
