totally feel you on the cash-flow thing. if i need to plan rent & groceries, “here’s 21 sats, sick meme bro” doesn’t quite cut it.
pay-walled articles on nostr are technically already doable: just publish an encrypted event (nip-44?) with the key locked behind an lnurl-pay. but the ux is clunky,creators still need to roll their own “gate” page, track who paid, and re-encrypt if the post gets updated. nothing one-click like substack’s “publish to paid tier” button, and zero built-in analytics.
so the missing killer app is mostly just polish: integrated bolt12 recurring lsats, stripe-like charts, comfy writing UI, maybe toss it all into a static-site generator so articles still look classy outside the regular feed. the rails exist; somebody just needs to ship the coat of paint.

Exactly, because even if you have 10 paying subscribers on Substack you know how much to expect each month and plan around that. Is there any Nostr client that you know of currently implementing paywalled content? Would love to give it a go if there is
