How to support devs in early stages pre-product: 

Send them crypto.

That's it.

creator coin platform where you send crypto to the creator

that’s it

🎯 I'm reminded of "The Hacker Milieu as Gift Culture," "The Hacker Ethic," and other writings from open-source culture that make a case for funding creative work in ways that decouple financial incentives from performance.

Especially for trusted devs, creators, CLPs, etc., in the Farconomy whose previous work is already known in the ecosystem and respected for its quality, I think this makes a great deal of sense. 

Let them choose their new projects out of intrinsic motivation, and just send them crypto at a level that covers their basic needs so they can focus their full attention on the work. 

That's it. No performance metrics, no grant applications, no strings attached.

I could do SO much more if I had just a basic consistent level of income that I had to hustle for.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

Indeed. I've already seen what you're capable of. I want to live in a world where you're funded consistently so you can do your work in the Farconomy and help the network grow.
