Awesome writeup. Especially the technical stack part.

I think there's so much emphasis on Courses, crypto, NFT's drop shipping, etc, that many people forget its businesses like this that are stable and last a super long time for small creators.

One point that stood out is that the author kept saying "it's a lot of work". And that's fine. Somehow we have been trained by society to want a lot without working a lot -- perhaps just refined human nature in the west.

There's something to be said for curating information with an opinion into a niche that people actually want. Refreshing and congratulations.

I agree. It's a shame the creator economy shifted so hard into Crypto. You can build a very "creator first" stack without any Web 3.0 technologies. I guess one thing missing that NFT and the like purports to provide is a "stake" in the creator that can grow in value over time. That's clearly not what Craig was looking for by creating this venture.
