pinata

When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on:

1. Playing in a validated market. 
2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. 

We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

So by building in a competitive space, you have more obvious distribution channel. Just have to find a way to differentiate.

Playing in a validated market is a cheat code. I’ve often built in invalidated markets and to compensate for that I’ve tried the mom test approach to product and problem validation. However, you still run into a distribution issue if the market isn’t already demanding the thing you have.

Launch a clanker and offer a "lite" hosting for token holders, too? 😙

Yeah! We've talked about this and I think we will do it. But we want to be thoughtful about the presentation, just like we are with how we use Blockchain and IPFS. I'm a big proponent of making technology invisible and that's something I think the crypto space still struggles with. 

That said, a feature we have coming up will require wallet logins. If you want to take ownership of your site's contract, you'll need a wallet 🙂

Any plans to add wallet logins? Would make it easy for safe wallets (DAO for example) to host their website. perhaps even with ens integrated

Focusing on validated markets and leveraging Pinata for IPFS is a strong strategy. Heavy competition is challenging but your unique advantages will likely stand out as you grow. Excited to see how orbiter.host evolves!
