We are working on an idea how to build SAAS business apps on top of Nostr. The idea is to rebuild apps like Slack, Notion, Figma, Github, Linear on single Nostr relay and Nostr standard that would allow some cool things like seamless cross-app messaging (e.g. like Slack <> Linear), cross-app workflows. Here is PDF with more details.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U_bC4AmR2_61GwgiShNv_EctOcyh4u7A/view?usp=drive_link If anybody is working on something similar or like the idea and want to join our efforts, please let me know.

Suffering with too many WIP never-ending projects? Here is what 37signals recommend: — You need to focus on finishing WIP projects first. You can’t add new stuff unless the previous stuff is finished. — Being 90% done could mean that you're still only halfway through the project. — Don't work on two things at once. It's a huge mental burden. — You need to focus on hard issues first and don't start with easy ones and wait until the end for the hard ones. — Giving lots of time to a project is a curse, not a blessing.

This season on the Rework podcast (by Basecamp) they are discussing many "chapters" from Shape Up. In this episode they discuss Writing a Pitch. Few insights: — Writing a Pitch is not the same as shaping. Writing a Pitch is just formalizing the shaping discussion. — Try to find a balance between writing a detailed spec and having just one line. — The goal is to give teams of two (designer + engineer) a sense of autonomy, purpose, and mastery. — Most of the design decisions are made during the cycle since, according to them, that's the most effective way. — The pitch should focus on Rabbit Holes to identify risks and things that could take forever. — When you feel that the whole Pitch is one big Rabbit Hole, treat it as a science project with the goal of getting information.
