Me and @npub1sfpey... built www.spacezappers.com using @npub10qdp2... #Shakespeare. Considering implementing a prize pot payout at the end of the day.

What is your craft Thomas?

Very good article that I agree with. And if you’re going to build it yourself - why not open source it. I hope this brings about increased innovation. Am considering the same for time tracking (Harvest) and helpdesk ticketing solutions (Zendesk) for example.

This year I did some Christmas shopping on Nostr. Hopefully next yeah there will be more products available :-) I’d also love meat / veg from a UK farmer.

Our products from @nprofile1q... aren’t appearing. I believe because of this:

OK, so you really just define an ordered list of blossom servers?

Ah nice. Was looking at where products were being created too.

Yep, just doing some more research into NIP-15 vs NIP-99.
