⚡️Event Zapper⚡️

Brief background…
I can't code 😥, so about 1 month ago I posted a bounty on bountsr.org for an idea called “Event Zapper”. Zero expectations!

Event Zapper could enable conference or meetup attendees to instantly "Zap" the speakers on stage, and see their Zaps appear in real-time on the screen or projector - think Twitch tips IRL. This idea was inspired by PABLOF7z (npub1l2v…ajft) 's Zaplife.lol screen at Bitcoin Conf 2023.

I very roughly sketched out the idea and posted it, along with the biggest bounty I could afford (which as a mere pleb, was not that much).

WELL, SOMEONE ACTUALLY STARTED BUILDING IT! 🤯🤯🤯. That someone is the awesome npub1q32he28lj7pk56p6zv6y3aykg8wtffkl8rvmg7fv2nekkuxys4asdyrkgv (npub1q32…rkgv).

It's so cool to see a personal idea come alive like this, I really hope we can continue to build this out, and at some point see more zapping happening in meatspace!

(note: it doesn’t work with mobile screen sizes, better to try when you’re on a laptop/desktop!)
