i get why people end up at “higher is an open source cc0 brand so it can be applied to everything/is for everyone” but that line of thought is an extremely efficient way to kill anything with an early spark of interestingness

grow slow
grow narrow

architect

nishantpai.eth

0xwall.app
gm.bot
focus.app

yeah this framing maintains more of the interestingness

it could be applied to everyone, but it is not for everyone 
it could be applied to everything, but it is not for everything

yeah but the constraining factor is not who can use it (anyone), but who knows about it (few)

the current audience is directly related to this, and if you dont manage to appeal to them there is no chance of growth

i’m on the other side of the fence here. i think calling it a cc0 brand is already too narrow

higher is a meme that’s available for anyone to use however they want. a headless brand is one way, putting green hats on people is another. but it all leads back to higher as a meme.

honestly dont know, i just think its a mistake to assume 'broadness' being a desirable trait

my favorite part of higher so far is the awesome design language and visuals -- that feels pointy, unique, and somehow cohesive in tone despite multiple artists going their own ways with it

i think the athletics angle can mesh w that too but its not where i wouldve ended up myself

disc: havnt been following closely enough since may-ish to feel like a have a good grasp

what do you think are the areas we should focus on so far?
