Full disclosure time! I'm extremely excited to announce that I'm doing Developer Relations for
@Soapbox. π₯π₯π₯
So, what the hell does that mean? It means I'm going to continue to do community building. It means I'm going to continue to market and talk about apps and services that I use and that I'm passionate about. It means I'm going to continue to create guides and tutorials, and provide technical support for this community.
It's what I've been doing for the past two and a half years.
What's changed? Not much. I'm just going to get paid for projects that I work on now.
I'll still be shilling all of your apps and services, everything across the Nostr ecosystem. Maybe with a little more directed focus.
I guess I'm officially a paid shill now. Feel free to make memes. ππ
But if I'm being honest, and I always am, I would talk about #mkstack even if it wasn't part of my job. I talk about Primal, Olas, Notedeck, and a dozen other apps all of the time.
Thanks all. Without you, none of this would be possible. Thanks for all of your support the last two and a half years. π€π»π«π

Congrats, Derek!
Thanks!
Congrats. You picked the best project.
Using #mkstack and seeing what's possible just blew me away. This is the future.
Thanks!
Congratulations with a new job where you continue doing what you would have done anyway but now someoneβs paying you to do it!

Congratulations and thank you for all you do for Nostr!!! π»
I would have recommended someone positive, likeable, based, immersed, capable, intelligent, having demonstrated past ability to perform the job requirements, who could be trusted to represent the everyman while defending the boundaries defined by the principles upon which we stand, but I guess we just get Derek.
Thank you. I wouldn't do it if I didn't love it.

Super cool!
Congratulations π
Congratulations π₯
Interesting stuff is happening. I am here for it.
I've self hosted an instance of Ditto on a VM from
@Soapbox myself. It worked great, except it didn't resolve npubs into names for me.
Maybe I should try again π€
View quoted note βCONGRATULATIONS Derek !!!!
Congratz you deserve it.π Does this mean you loose the role as CEO of #nostr !?ππ€£π€£π€£
Nice one π
If
@MAKE SONGS LONGER has her way, I'll never lose that title π‘
Wen rewrite? I needs me some Vitor shilling.
Still doing that. This is part time for now.
Very kind. Thanks. π«π€π»π
This is super-exciting! Congratulations!
π€£
If we're being honest though, it's all
@Avi Burra's fault. He said that back in like January 2023 as a joke and it kind of stuck.
Congrats! ππππ
Ty sir
Always knew you were a big corporate sell-out!
Just kiddinβ, this is awesome. I love what
@Soapbox is building and youβre the perfect shill for the job! πβ‘οΈπ€
Thank you sir ππ€π»π«
I do usually get my wayβ¦ π
If the Jacks can be the CEO of two companies, you can be CEO of the nostr protocol and work in Developer Relations at Soapbox. π
π― Hey, I have 14 projects going, fractional marketing director in the morning, broadcast journalist in the afternoon, and a yoga teacher, so just change our names to Jack.
Okay, Jeather.
π€£ Ok, Jerek
Derek represents the best of us on Nostr. If not CEO, then certainly Ambassador.
i appreciate the kind words but im just a guy that's passionate about nostr!
Itβs true π«
The Honorable Derek Ross. If at dinner parties, His Excellency would be polite.
@Alex Gleason deserves it!! Built an incredible system
π€πΌ
I can't believe we get to work together and get paid to do this crazy thing for #Nostr!
I can't ask for a better DevRel than you. Humbled, tbh. Let's make magic!
One step at a time. Congrats!
We snagged the best at
@Soapbox in
@Derek Ross!
Full disclosure time for me as well, I'm the Marketing Director at Soapbox. After years of agency marketing "the big boys" in tech, I'm thrilled to work with this team. Not just because of Derek, but it's loaded with rock stars like
@Alex Gleason, who built #MKStack. Now, you can all vibe code #Nostr apps. π LFG!
MKStack isn't our only product, but it's the one that can change <<waves arms>> all this.
Imagine how many #Nostr apps are coming... I'm not talking about "let's make it for the heck of it and abandon it." The cream will rise...
Someone here has an idea for this space. The one that will take flight and won't be abandoned like "just another project." Perhaps there are dozens of these. The end goal always being to bring more people π here. To Nostr.
Now imagine the speed at which these will all come... π€―
No one is ready. This is gonna be a blast! π₯ The dream team is forming. I'm so glad to be here!
Here's our chance to show the rest of the world what a fun time we're having here on Nostr, just building. Create, iterate, ship. Repeat. Lean back. Let go. Let the vibe coding renaissance take hold. π₯
View quoted note βwe have a good dymanic together, so this should be fun. thank you :)
we dragged the energy of the Nostr Lounge in Vegas with us for sure!
Amazing congrats!
Thank you sir. It's part time for now. Hopefully that can change in the future.
Congrats!
@Derek Ross Now we can do even more vibe coding! π
Awe yay! ππ»βΊοΈπ₯³π
woot!
Woot woot! Congrats buddy !
How exciting!! π
