i truly believe we need a viable TikTok and Instagram competitor. people want to leave those platforms. they hate the censorship and the banning, but no viable alternatives exist. Bluesky is building them and they're gaining traction though. we're going to miss out again. we need to empower creators and give them the tools to on-board their community. sadly, i don't think we're ready in this area, yet. many of our apps need more polish.

we keep building alternatives, which i think is incredibly important, but i also think we need something that's truly unique or at least offers a truly unique spin on an existing use case. if i knew what this less obvious app would be, i would vibe code it ASAP.

i've vibe coded two nostr apps and i love this capability. im calling it advanced prototyping. i can build anything as an advanced prototype or proof of concept and then a more talented developer can work on the project or take my idea and run with it. it's amazing.

my apps are https://zappix.app and https://yakbak.app

zappix is an image sharing application. i plan to add flix or short videos.

yakbak is a voice messages application. (the audio won't load until you login with nostr. this is a new bug.) both are very new and buggy, but as a proof of concept, they're pretty great.
