None of the apps I’ve built have made any meaningful amount of money

Instead they created an opportunity for me to eventually get recognized by other developers who do work full time on Bitcoin and Nostr and I was fortunate enough to be invited onto their teams to work with them

While this work doesn’t support me entirely (I still have another full time job outside of Bitcoin and Nostr), it has given me enough to support my wife and family as a sole provider for which I’m forever grateful

My advice based on my experience is to continue building and keep learning

Build the things you want

I wanted GIFs so I made gifbuddy, I didn’t like other meme tools so I made memeamigo, I wanted a workflow to create webapps so I made PocketVibe

These are things that interested me, challenged me, and grew my skill set

There are no guarantees, but if you build there’s a chance

If you stop building, there is no chance
