App distribution is key and so underrated and underexplored. Nostr enables the creator economy fueled by micropayments and other social signal.
Pasting the note from the bad bird app, a reply to Amjad Masad from Replit.
"@amasad I know you're focused on building a better dev product.
I think you should 1000% find a team with consumer chops to help you rethink the Replit experience so it feels more like a creator than a dev experience.
Since distribution is the bottleneck, how do you make it super simple for people to find a world of software hosted on Replit that does what they need it to do?
Can they duet or remix it? Can it be like the Steam marketplace where people just buy once instead of racking up subscriptions? Comments and likes? Can Replit allow you to record a Replit-hosted video and walkthrough?
Like, if I were thinking about it, I'd do exactly what YouTube did and just have a bunch of knock-offs of existing software available on Replit for free or where people could just do micropayments to access it.
Because if it's this easy to make really basic software, then the assumptions as to distribution of software need to change, and all the value will [again] accrue to the distro layer, not the production layer."
quotingWho's going to build the hub for remixing software?

Nostr seems like a really good substrate for this...
