honestly, the '20-'21 mirror team was cracked. Write race as onboarding, crowdfunding through posts, introducing splits, etc. product development wise there was so much creativity. someone from the team should write up a one pager as to why things didn't work out in terms of scaling & team. they had a huge first mover advantage. what went wrong? this is not me trying to throw shade or anything - everyone on the og mirror team is so freaking smart. I'm curious as to what learnings there were from '23-'24...when did things start loosing steam?

The crypto-native economic tools integrated into publishing are what made Mirror novel. After the market turned post-2021, they stopped having PMF. We focused on simplifying the product with an emphasis on publishing after that, with Writing NFTs and embeds as the simpler economic suite, which was used by crypto-natives, a market that wasn't growing much. There was also an unbundling of tools like Editions, which Zora won by focusing solely on that. (You needed to first set up a blog to create an NFT on Mirror.) Thanks for the kind words 😊
