I gave away about 17,000 sats requesting feedback on an app I’m developing. 1000 sats is admittedly not much to offer for people’s time, but it was insight and good community fun.
Anyone that knows design knows that user feedback is absolutely worth its weight in gold. I think next time I do something like this the offer will be 5,000-15,000 sats for feedback, as a way to incentivize even more nitpicking and depth.
Highly recommend doing this to any app developer here.

Thank you for the feedback. It seems like the primal wallet is having issues sending zaps again. It’s been kind of off & on but I’ll make sure to zap you as soon as it’s available

So far it’s a partial implementation with nostr using auth because it affords some nice UX gains with instant logins and cross platform accounts (I also work on a coding education app at https://robotsbuildingeducation.com)
However it’s not fully nostrified where all of the UI data is fetched and stored to relays, I’m still learning nostr development but between marketing, sales, content creation, design & engineering I can’t always afford to spend so much time on certain implementation details that most people won’t see or feel (most of my time is in consumer spaces like Instagram and TikTok)

I had an issue sending you a zap in post so I went to your profile to send it.
Where in the app do you mean by having less options? Was it a certain question type you had? The vocabulary and grammar modules have a mix of different question types. Just making sure I understand correctly

I could add an option to adjust how quickly it responds, it’s kinda tough getting that right in a way where it feels smooth without too much waiting between turns, but it probably feels worse getting cut off too early. Thank you for the feedback

Just got hit with this. Not sure if it’s related, but I was sending zaps for feedback in a thread and noticed that the UI would show my zaps but it wouldn’t show up in my balance log.

Not sure what the problem is, I send sats using the zap button and it shows I send zaps, but it doesn’t record in my transaction history, and going into a profile to send a zap results in an error.
At first I thought it was a problem with their accounts, but I’m able to send through other wallets.

Okedoke, so this is the second time I’ve committed myself to growing a following. The first time I reached 125,000 on TikTok but stopped because it felt like the difference between 100,000-400,000 was somewhat meaningless and I wanted to focus on other social entrepreneurial things. I’ll talk about some stuff and go into the process/whys
That following actually declined to 108,000 because I started experimenting more, intentionally making and observing mistakes and generally not letting the machine control what I want to think, say or feel just because there was a benefit to it.
So there’s a few key things to understand:
1. The algorithm is the audience
2. Content-market fit
3. Consistency & compounding.
1. Every algorithm/social media app is a different audience, and sometimes that algorithm/audience will change. We can observe this obviously with Nostr, but you can also see it with stuff like YouTube in 2010 vs. YouTube in 2022.
You’ve also seen it with Instagram as it transitioned from photo to video, with X as it changed owners, and even TikTok because TikTok is not really new or novel anymore.
I grew on TikTok during a different time in 2021-2023, focusing on DEI & Latinos in tech and I fulfilled a niche or interest back then. But times change and TikTok today is more of a current events app similar to Twitter, mixed in with some stream clipping slop and your usual memes.
Tech has also changed, non-technical people are less interested in it because they don’t see as much opportunity in employment and there’s political skepticism around stuff like AI. It’s often the case that when I talk about AI, there are people who unfollow me over it or post antagonizing comments now.
2. This leads us to 2, the content-market fit. Basically, you have to pay attention to what people want to see and then make it. The challenge here is reconciling what you want to make vs. what other people want to see. If you get this wrong, you’ll be miserable and won’t have the energy to perform and play the right character for people to consume.
This is one of the reasons why I lost followers. I was frustrated by the political apathy and disinterest and actively addressed it publicly, which annoyed people. I no longer had content-market fit nor was the algorithm on my side anymore.
So I had to pivot from coding education & encouraging latinos to learn tech skills even though I thought that AI was a huge boon to starting businesses - but as soon as you have to debate your case, you’ve already lost.
During that time, I discovered some adjacent niches, like encouraging people to use AI to build businesses so they can afford to live in Mexico, but it felt icky and I hate selling dreams to people because I like to be honest about hard things can be. So I didn’t do that.
That’s when I moved from TikTok to Instagram, knowing that Instagram has many surfaces (DMs, gallery posts, reels, trial reels, stories, threads) so it’s more of a niche & interest based algorithm rather than a FYP-only news machine.
Then I pivoted to something adjacent to coding education, which was language learning. Part of this was motivated because I thought about what edtechs have product market fit in the first place since selling monetizable skills felt gross and very “buy my course so you can make more money bro” even they were nice little edu apps.
I thought about Duolingo’s success and the first principles of it. Language learning is fun, meaningful, low-stakes, globally important and a number of other positive trends like the ability to connect with people and cultures more deeply.
Then I thought about pain points - I discovered that a lot of Latinos in the US bully each other over language mastery which sucks and I hate, so I wanted to use technology to help people.
Then I thought about indigenous languages and exploring AI’s fault tolerance with them, so I was able to find a niche with Latino media again - indigenous language learning, culture & history, life in Mexico & technology. People want to see people living well in Mexico & they want to learn more about a culture and identity that they’re removed from.
Content-market fit achieved.
3. Then from there it’s a matter of consistency. I love to write about metapolitics but it makes people disengage from me as a person and my work.
So it’s really just playing the same character by making similar content and not diverging too much. To be honest, I hate that a lot, but it’s just the way of the world. When you find what works, you just keep repeating it and eventually it starts to compound in your favor.
—
So in short, you need to understand what the algorithm aka audience prioritizes on any given platform, then find a niche in that space by creating content that people actually want to see & consume (not just what you think people want), and then lastly once you have those two ingredients, you continuously repeat what works.
Now there are other things, like “the purple cow” or creating novelty for viral marketing, but I don’t really care about vitality that much, I care about people caring about my work because I’m more mission-oriented and want to see my ideas come to life in some way or another. But those 3 things I listed are pretty much the bread & butter or foundations to audience building.

I was jaded by TikTok for some time and posted on nostr because I didn’t care about growth and cared more about learning new engineer skills and maybe connecting with some cool or talented folks.
But I don’t really have a future on nostr, in terms of a social presence. For me, nostr is just a way to improve the user experiences of my apps.
For example, if you click the link in my bio, you instantly create a nostr account and can create a cross platform wallet with cashu. So that means every person on any social media platform that clicks my link is instantly onboarded to nostr in some way shape or form.

I have been writing a critique of radical postmodernism’s dependence of intellectual convenience a lot lately.
There’s somewhat of a natural self-hatred that many Mexican-Americans experience when it comes to their American identity, largely caused by the post 9/11 world.
This explains why they almost always blame the US for anything that happens in Mexico. Thoughtlessly. As I’m finding, it’s just intellectually convenient and easy to do.
Look at me, I’m aware. I’ve read a thing or two in my day. Let me inform you.
But what causes that allergic reaction to inconvenience? Perhaps the idea of Mexico being sovereign and responsible for its state?
Here’s an example: Mexico is violent because of US arms. Surely, if you eradicated US arms from this world and manufactured arms in Mexico instead, what would happen?

The fundamental core of MAGA is ultimately to be anti-fun. Their pathology is internally frustrated by “outsiders” celebrating achievements and experiencing joy within a realm they believe they fundamentally own.
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show reveals a key truth - the best way to resist this kind of cultural rejection is just to have fun, to stay cool and to stay winning. No need to take the bait and argue with people that want you as miserable as they are.

2026-02-09 02:38:20 UTC

Disappointing how creating content is unusable without expeditious use of the block button because people are so eager to project venemous levels of misery & hate. There is this lower level of consciousness that comes with participating in spaces that are designed for lower intent behavior.
There’s often little space to work hard for positive outcomes because it’s so much easier to just give into the incentive to polarize and to not resist the temptation of perpetual mediocrity & rage rather than to encourage people to make small but meaningful differences regardless of background or identity. The former is not what community building is; it is what seeking attention is.

2026-02-05 08:23:19 UTC

The world is wonderful. Life is beautiful. People are great. There is so much to explore and learn. You have no enemies. This is a truth that many will try hard to convince you is a lie. It is important to reject those constant and eager attempts.

2026-02-05 08:16:11 UTC

Radical postmodernism, a philosophical movement that proceeded the civil rights era, took roughly 50 years to reach its peak where it enjoyed roughly 10 years as the dominant perspective of Americans, but it is steadily in its decline and a lot of people will struggle with a future where essentially antagonizing white and European Americans with impunity will be unpopular.
It was valuable with respects to increasing the overall conscientiousness of Americans, but Americans largely reject it in favor of modernist thinking which achieved things like the separation of church & state, the abolition of chattel slavery, the civil rights and significant scientific advancement.
In this regression, there’s a real threat that pre-modernist thinking can creep up and arise with things like Christian Nationalism and that sort of thing, which is why it’s important for those who subscribed to postmodernism to adapt accordingly.
The failure of postmodernists is that it eventually decayed into belief structures that inevitably lead to acquiring an anti-American and an arguably racist worldview. We, and they, often weaponized grievances of history, revised history and misunderstood much of it as a result. Yet, it achieved the ability to think about increasingly complex problems with regard to climate change, social well-being and the surveillance state.
Either way, the next 5-10 years will be sort of lost and aimless, where a lack of consensus in worldviews will be guaranteed and consequences undetermined. Recommendation algorithms are the big threat here, since they are designed for reaction, producing polarization and echo chambers that remove us from the perspective of others.
It cannot be overstated how important it will be to turn the TV off.

This isn’t yakihonnes doing, it’s my code from a year ago where I wrote some half baked implementation and vibe coded stuff with whatever the mode was at the time. I don’t remember too clearly but I’m pretty sure I used cashuPay at the time and didn’t really think about p2pk much

TIL the primary resource for large language models learning indigenous languages is because of the Bible being translated.

I’m not a fan of people calling Mexico a “settler-colonial state”. It feels ahistorical and revisitionist. It does not share the same history as the US’ westward expansion. And there is clear reason why Claudia Sheinbaum is a well-regarded president.
The settler-colonial state were the empires the preceded the formation of the idea of the Mexico and the colonies were the subjects of those empires. It is true that land was stolen, not by Mexican nationals, but by the Spanish crown.
The story of mankind fought long and bloody wars to rid itself of monarchal empires which is why democracies today are so allergic to the idea of dictatorships. The consequences of imperial elitism remain today, but decay with each passing day.
Mexico today is a nation where a man from Saudi Arabia or a woman from Japan can choose to immigrate to Mexico and become fully Mexican.
And it is ultimately the duty of Mexicans to restore and revitalize the history and progress of its native people, not to deny it as a relic of the past or reject it as an inferior way of life.

Let’s say you make about $10,000 on nostr through zaps and it lands in your primal wallet. Does any of that money get taxed by the IRS? Or does it just depend on individuals reporting that income?

Most people don’t realize that recommendation algorithms are the root cause of an inevitable civil war.
People naturally think, “civil war? That’s extreme.” Denial is natural when the truth is too painful to bear. But these kinds of things happen in a snap.
These algorithms continue to polarize, naturally, as they are incentivized to specifically optimize for reaction.
And this will continue to happen until an attempted assassination of a president, the murdering of a prominent political influencer, the normalization of a paramilitary executing citizens, and so on.
And by the time we get there, people will want it. And they’ll want more of it too.

I’m finding it’s not really “worth it” to post content like this on Nostr, or even X for that matter. Every algorithm/audience has its preference, which is why this kind of stuff performs best on YouTube.
But whatever. Here’s a video on how we deciphered Mayan writing.
I find it interesting enough to share, but I mostly stopped posting this kind of stuff here

Yeah but it still doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve sold products for $1, $50, etc but most people prefer just to not be bothered and continuously waste time scrolling on social media for months on end.
Literally one of the most effective sales tactics I’ve had has been calling people out on their pathetic bullshitting of themselves.
Often times it just doesn’t seem worth the effort.

2026-01-17 07:17:17 UTC

I don't know what I'm doing wrong when it comes to entrepreneurship. I work on good products, make them super affordable, built an audience of 100,000+ followers, reach out to people who ask for what I'm making, make content that's interesting and there's like no conversion.
Not to compare, but there are people that literally sell total crap and make a living off of it too. I don't get it.

I re-invented my link tree page to use nostr. Now you can instantly launch the language learning app or create a NIP-60/61 wallet to take with you across the education apps that allow you select recipients to effectively create scholarships through the act of learning.
Why? Because on social media I’m often competing with the desire to scroll. So every single click counts because each click competes with the scroll.

It goes without say that if you’re in support of ICE you lack common sense with regard to civil liberties and immigration policy.
Like Kirk’s murder, the recent murder wasn’t justified in any reasonable world. ICE is the arm of a government overextending its powers and preying on the fear of post-9/11 citizens. It serves no other purpose other than that.
To believe otherwise only makes you a useful idiot.

Gonna add Russian to my language learning app later.
This is going to be a hard UX challenge because I haven’t really designed for different writing systems. However, if I can reason about this clearly, then I can add Mandarin or Japanese next, so it’s probably worth the effort.
One must listen to their users, even if it hurts in the short term 💔

I’m not really sure I believe in nostr’s claims of value for value over the long term. It’s rather idealistic and disconnected from reality.
In most cases, people’s money is often people’s time. It’s their lifeblood. They don’t have the privilege of venture capital or other structural means.
So in most cases, if you want 10,000 sats from someone, you’re more likely than going to need to earn it by providing a solution to a real problem they’re having.
If I have $30 to spend on art and entertainment, is it really going to go to a post on nostr that I’ll forget about or is it going to be that one event or show in my city?
The reality of business is ruthless but so is the exchange of peoples time and lifeblood for products and services.
