Touching grass

It's basic textbook knowledge that people don't care about how your solution works (Nostr) but they care about their problems (solved by functionality), and emotions (branding). If all apps are opensource and every functionality can be copied and implemented within a few hours by a coding agent, apps can't really differentiate in functionality. That just leaves branding and marketing to the correct product-market fit.

Throughout all the discussion about Nostr app UX and usability I rarely hear anyone talk about branding. What feeling does your brand evoke in users? How do they associate with you? Are they fans?

Productive day. Contacted a few VCs to fund a Nostr project (not Kubo). Will keep sending proposals until they ban me from Nostr.

Made the decision today. Will cancel my apartment and go digital nomad in 2-3 months. Not making any money now anyway so might as well be poor in a beautiful and cheap country instead of a shit and expensive country.
