We used to have a feature request list on our old site, where folks could upvote & downvote specific ideas & requests. It didn't get much usage after a while, but maybe we could bring something like that back. Otherwise, just reaching out to us work - we usually keep pretty good tabs on feature requests in Linear.

Also, FWIW, we're leaning toward a slightly different approach than Zora, one a little less centered on the hyper-financialization of everything ("support" instead of "buy", "trade" instead of "sell", no market cap). Still think it'll be hard to get this right from a product & marketing view, but excited to try!

Appreciate the note! Any other reasons? Part of why we're interested in exploring coins is bc the infinite mint model hasn't really generated much in the way of earnings for individual writers. If we really want to expand the economy around creative work, we may need to find a better model.

@nyewarburton argues that blockchain must evolve beyond finance and hype to serve everyday people with intuitive, useful applications—because no one cares about crypto itself, only what it enables. "Crypto’s biggest challenge isn’t regulatory hurdles or technical limitations — it’s relevance." https://paragraph.com/@nyewarburton.eth/making-crypto-not-suck

@boona writers about his early experiments with tokenized podcast episodes and celebrates the growing clarity and potential of onchain media to empower creators through direct monetization and community alignment. "Creators can now unlock new ways of not only monetizing their craft, but building tighter and more aligned communities." https://paragraph.com/@boona/early-to-onchain-media

@nor envisions a future where capital flows toward ideas rather than companies, enabling a more decentralized, efficient, and incentive-aligned system for funding innovation. "What will change is that the constituent elements of a company will become unbundled, and it will be possible for investors to upregulate individual ideas, markets, approaches, and desirable outcomes with the expectation of profit." https://paragraph.com/@ngi/capital

@sterlacci argues that crypto should embrace its irrational, meme-driven roots rather than conform to traditional financial metrics, as true value often emerges from culture and belief — not fundamentals. "It’s ok to reject fundamentals, because there is something at play that is much more important." https://paragraph.com/@slow-tokens/crypto-needs-less-fundamentals-not-more,-return-to-magic-internet-money

@jaredhecht.eth reflects on the power of deliberate, coordinated action — both in companies and in building AI — arguing that moving carefully and intentionally is ultimately the fastest path to meaningful progress. "AI is non-deterministic. Nobody really knows what’s going to come out of it when we put something into it." https://jared.xyz/slow-is-smooth,-smooth-is-fast

@yekim.eth argues that crypto’s biggest challenge isn’t a lack of consumer products, but a flawed playbook overly reliant on speculation and token-based incentives instead of building long-term, behavior-driven engagement. "Speculation can be a growth accelerant, but it can’t be the foundation." https://paragraph.com/@pit/behavior-greater-token

You're thinking just a better way to organize and cross-link the combined archives? Would love to hear any other details.

Appreciate the feedback. For title search, if all we need to do is find exact matches, I think that's pretty straightforward. It gets a little harder the more imprecise the search is, which is where it can turn into a fairly frustrating experience. Thanks again for the note though, very helpful for us.
