I just finished this: https://grantless.org/about

It's a new, permissionless, 100%-nostr-based Open Source Software crowdfunding protocol, based on #catallax, #WoT and #dlists . If you've ever been rejected from a grant application, you might enjoy Grantless :)

It's kind of like OpenSats, in that money goes from donors to software teams, except it's run by you and the people you trust.

Grantless is cypherpunk. There's no middleman, platform or legal entity involved. No KYC nor AML. Anyone can curate, anyone can review work, anyone can handle/escrow funds, anyone can put themselves up for funding (there's no "applying" because you can't be denied a shot at raising money from the plebs). It's crowdfunding done right: where the crowd calls its own shots.

We use decentralized lists for basic curation and spam prevention - but we're just scratching the surface of what we can use dlists for...

Let me know if you have any questions about how it works or if you'd like to have your project show up on #grantless but you don't feel like going through the **permissionless** legwork of getting yourself on there - I can help out with that.

I'll publish a roadmap soon with what I'd like to add to this client in the (near) future.
And I'm probably not looking at notifications tonight, so if you reply here I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Sorry if these are unwelcome tags, but I figured I'd let everyone who reacted or reposted my teaser know that this is live now. nostr:npub14expwcsvnvaqgylaqx0a06vrmfpmyzq7w956hm9hwexrxw5mllcsymcqa0 , nostr:npub12a77qmwwzc9qx7gk8f9m0d5qhclq5rsudr0xu6agcqgnfdzqvnwsfrrdyd , nostr:npub1w3vaxva0vcrx7pnv...

Interesting. Is it only for devs and building apps?

It'll be a lot cooler when it's not empty. Proper product marketing people probably would have secured a bunch of users first. ...but this isn't a "product" and I'm not "marketing". Use it if you want - or don't; but I think you should.

If there's no middlemen involved, what does this mean? It looks like the risk is being shared to people you trust, but to build trust takes time and reputation. I like and trust the team at OpenSats are doing a good enough job, so how does this differentiate from what they already do? It's the same ...

Does it seem more like crowdfunding than grant funding?

Great Idea but I see how this could instantly fracture and become political

lol i had not occurred to me that elements of this would be so nicely inter-op'able with other clients - but of course! cc nostr:nprofile1qqsd9pqnwyshrse7z975h5ynptq9ktz3kv8txqs7lr20zgelqtys52cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9u...
