Consumer Crypto

any ideas why the crowdfund miniapp has gone full on charity focused vs. builder focused?

as someone currently fundraising through my own miniapp, i felt that using crowdfund could subtly shift my message from “create and the community will back you” to “ask for money and you’ll get it,” undermining the whole concept.

director of product @seedclub. we built @crowdfund. i design & dev social, crypto, and ai software. i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

i agree! it wouldn’t *not* be a good fit, but there were way more pros to building one myself:

- instant access to the $ / full control
- it’s my third vibecoded miniapp, and this one was a chance to learn how to handle transactions
- dev rewards! we finished #16 yesterday, and i’m putting the money straight back into the project

finally, conceptually: i want to use the “less platform, more playground” tag to signal that fc is a space for creating things and building community around ideas. making my own app felt like the most efficient way to push that message to the max.

i think your project would fit great on @crowdfund

how could we fix this impression you have of crowdfund?
