Not going to take a screenshot because I don't want to doxx my phone number, but can't progress beyond the "Enter Phone Number" screen (japan number) (and agree with @downshift.eth on the landing page)

Oh I see, do you think that will be an adoption problem as long as phone numbers are required?

i’m very curious about their go to market strategy…classic chicken-egg cold start problem where you have a two sided market with no participants at the beginning. very tough

It’s something I’ve been concerned about. Right now they’re leveraging the existing Kin community to spread the word and engage but once the Code app is polished they need a marketing push towards developers and hopefully find a big partner

Micro transactions vs subscriptions for articles is probably the biggest use case the community brings up. 25 cents for an article could really add up for anyone with a decent following

yes! it's like a micro-gumroad...and an eventual goal of my own product, @microsub we're working on tip to read and tip to mint right now a lot of people who would pay $0.07 to read one post might not want to subscribe to you for $7 per month...or rather...why not split that $7 amongst 100 creators? (this is how microsub works currently)

Wow there’s so many developers recognizing this needs to happen! Everyone has subscriptions and the frustration that comes with them. I think there’s plenty of room for competition, it looks like you’ve got some good ideas too. I like the idea of splitting amongst multiple creators
