devs want to see a README first :D


ah super interesting, universal doc centric view

thanks for sharing!


true


interesting, didn't know about the booking experiment

but as i was trying to explain, they missed the point and just created frustration for users

didn't want my article to sound like bullshit, that's why i built a poc to try and explain that it's not about having chatbots, but having entire components in a chronological order of the interactions with a website

in your case the booking details would be easily accessible just by scrolling up for instance


i apparently failed at getting my message across... c'est la vie !


I hope I was not too harsh in my comment. There are a lot of disparate threads in the article. If you wanted to get one point across, what would that be?

Web3 isn't an easy concept to understand because it has 'web' in the name, yet it can't be accessed via the clearweb, only via browser extensions, or mirror sites.

The NFT site "hicetnunc" went down recently, with little to no explanation and people on Twitter recommended going to one of several of its mirrors, all with a different address. Would a regular user go to "amazon.win" if "amazon.com" was down?

There's so much about Web3 that feels shady or prone to malfunctioning at any time, with no communication. I hope you can understand that that aspect of it simply does not reconcile with the 'monetize-first' attitude of its proponents.


my article is not really about web3, just using the analogy to touch on "layer 2" and introduce the idea of querying your interactions with a website _over time_ : hence the "temporal web"


this is great! just tried it, very smooth process to get the "getting started" repl ready. well done :)


Thank you!


totally understand the hassle of figuring out how to pay taxes etc.

we definitely want to champion this idea of having fiat and crypto side by side, and how to do it properly.

going all crypto might be too brutal and we think the hybrid approach makes more sense: work for a company that pays you in fiat (for bills and legacy stuff ;)) and crypto.

life is an experiment ;p


we're also considering leveraging other crypto products for salaries https://sablier.app/


thanks a lot - yes we think that having fiat and crypto side by side can be interesting :)


hey thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

agreed, payroll is hard - we actually mean only the payment part of payroll right now. we'll experiment on ourselves first by paying salaries in fiat+crypto to get a better idea of all the implications.

paying vendors is simpler indeed, and it's even better with crypto because you pay low fees (and not based on the amount you're sending)

we're totally aligned with what you're saying about the "secret sauce" - we actually released a feature called "direct transfers" that aims at doing that (except that it's not with a card atm) https://medium.com/multis/introducing-direct-transfers-a-new...

we need to go deeper in this "corporate bureaucry friendliness" though and have more levels (right now only owners/guests)

cool to see that you get what we're trying to do :)


Oh, here's a random idea that might integrate with your business model.

Some companies like to offer profit sharing. You could support that by allowing the company to issue a token of some kind to employees on a regular basis as part of their pay check or manually as a bonus.

Either the ownership of their tokens could make them eligible for proportionate distribution of profit share payouts (during the holidays, or whatever) or the token itself could hold the value and the employee could convert it to another crypto when they want to cash out.


interesting! that would be some sort of continuous employee stock-option plans


Basically, but I would consider checking with your legal council on the exact terminology that you use to make life easier :-)
