Hello everyone,
I'm the creator of ZapRead.com, which is something I want to build for the world. My ambition is to make a global publishing platform which removes the need for publishers. I think of it as what happens when you mix Bitcoin, economics, social media, and publishing.
My background is in Physics, and I have a day job, so I work on ZapRead mostly in the evenings after the kids are in bed! It's a lot of work, and that's why I made the website open source. I invite the world to help contribute.
I have always enjoyed programming (even though that's not my normal job). I am also really excited about Bitcoin. I discovered bitcoin in 2010 and have been studying it ever since then. I remember mining my first bitcoins using my laptop at night. How I wish I didn't sell those! I think the best I can do for Bitcoin now is to build something which helps people obtain their first Bitcoin (I built a bitcoin faucet (https://www.coinpanic.com/Lightning/CommunityJar), and of course people can earn their first Bitcoins on ZapRead by posting quality content or discussion.
Go LN! go BTC!
Really interesting website you have built and i like the ambition you put forward.
I have been lurking around the site few times but finally decided to register and check out how it is to interact here.
Let's see where this social experiment can take us, I'm in.
Welcome! I'm working hard to build this plane as we fly it. Please let me know if you find any missing features you would like to see, or discover any bugs!
Here is my first found "bug":

How do you prefer the bugs to be reported?
On ZR or via Github?
Thanks!
Either is best. GitHub is the "master" list of bugs/feature requests - so if you post here, I'll copy it over to GitHub. If you have a GitHub account, it would be most convenient for me if you just opened a new issue there.
Thanks for reporting the bug!
