While Nostr has no CEO, you all have jokingly called me one for years. It's a funny meme and a nice gag as there is no CEO of a protocol. But I understand why you say it, and it comes from a position of love and appreciation. It means my work is visible and appreciated, and I don't take that lightly. Thank you all for your love and support over the years. 🫂💜🤙🏻 So here's what I'm thinking. I'm going on a cruise and will be mostly away from the Nostr. For the next #TwoWeeks while I'm away, I want to use that time to turn the "Two Weeks" meme into reality! It's time to SHIP! Both for ME and for YOU! The challenge: Build something that grows Nostr. Reply to this note with what you've built by August 27th. That gives me a nice stack of apps to review, test, and demo when I'm back on land. Three categories: 🏗️ Community Building Build something that brings Nostr users together or helps newcomers find their footing. Meetup tools, onboarding flows, community directories, event organizers, education resources. Make it easier to be a Nostrich. If it were me, I'd do something with Concord and "Private Nostr". I would think small. Tools for small communities. 💰 Sustainable Revenue Build something on Nostr that makes money. Real revenue, not vibes and micro payments. Lightning native commerce, subscriptions, marketplaces, creator monetization tools, paid content, SaaS on Nostr. Show that the economics work. If it were me, I'd probably build something that indie musicians need. Bonus for fiat rails. 📈 User Growth Build something that makes people want to join Nostr. Killer features, more bridge tools, AI tools that use Buzz's AI specs, or that one app that makes your friends go "wait, what app is that?" Be the purple pill. If it were me, I'd probably build on Concord and build a private stories app. People love disappearing stories and if they're private and encrypted, all the better. Rules: • It has to be new (not something you already shipped). • It has to use Nostr (obviously). • It has to be open source. • Reply to this note with your submission so they're all in one place. • Apps, tools, bots, integrations, NIP implementations, all fair game here! Prizes 🏆 100,000 sats from me, split across the best builds in each category. Plus, every sat zapped to this announcement note goes into the prize pool too. So if you think the bounty should be bigger, zap this post and make it bigger. 💜⚡ Winners announced after I'm back on land (August 27th). I'll review, demo, and zap the standout builds live. Perhaps I'll even do all of this on a live stream to make it more fun? 👀 Two weeks. No CEO (well, we've never had one). No rules (well, a few). Just building and vibing the future of social communication. Show me what this community can do. Reply with your build by August 27th. I'll be back and ready to test everything out! I love you all and I'll see you in #TwoWeeks
