Hello. I haven't been on here for a long time, a very long time. To anyone at Orb that read this, the UX is buttery smooth. Congrats, this is a really pleasant scrolling experience.
A few of us are building something.
It's called JUICE.
@noturhandle.lens and I have started a podcast to get the ball rolling. GOT NO JUICE.
You can listen to the first episode here:

Seems like my Orb app was a little borked and I missed many notifications about stuff happening in the lensphere... sorry, I haven't been ignoring you all....I promise!
Hi all. neume has been selected for the gitcoin open source software funding round this time round. Our goal is to help build out a public goods core to the onchain music stack (as I wrote about at length here danfowler.substack.com/p/mapping-out-the-onchain-music-ecosystem)..)
As I'm sure you guys already know, gitcoin matches funding based on a quadratic formula, so the more donators that can help the better for the match.
If you can help us in this goal then we'd really appreciate any support! The plan is to hopefully use this as a starting point to build out a music & media focussed public good funding stream with gitcoin in the future.
We are currently working to ingest lens contracts and this will build on that as detailed in the grant page. Providing open source infra for any front ends that want cross chain music.
❤️

A slightly more personal post on why it's so important to stay true to your value while building
I just put out a piece trying to explain what's in my head when I think about the "onchain music ecosystem".
Many references to lens, obv.
Hopefully it's useful, please let me know if you have any thoughts!

The future of music...
My current thinking of what we should be aiming for as we build into the next wave of development.
Very likely incomplete and a lot to talk about within each element. Inspiration for the next blog...
This week's blog is on looking at the new "baseline" in crypto music and the features that define it.: engagement, funding , and infrastructure.
And how Public Goods and Venture Funding are symbiotic drivers building towards the next cycle.

I'd been struggling to make time and space to get into the Lens ecosystem alongside twitter, discord, discourse etc. But the Orb app has been a huge help. Loving it as a front end.
Living in a fairly remote cabin in the mountains through the winter is great for the mental space and quiet that it provides... but it does also remind you that no matter how hard you plan to do something (like going down to the nearest town to get food), the wind, sheer cold, or even type of snow fall, can stop everything flat. Three days trying to dig the car out of the snow later and looks like we aren't moving any time soon.
