Hello! A short update from the team.
We have now made the hard decision to shut down Supernovas app for now, while we are planning on what to do next.
The reason for this is simple: The DAO does not currently make any money on the node, or have any meaningful way to monetize the transactions happening on the node even if we wanted to, given the low number of active users. We have a better chance of surviving by using the money we have left to develop something new instead of keeping the app running.
This has zero impact on any of your data, as all NFT’s, NFT content, profiles, posts et cetera are stored on-chain, which means all the users of Supernovas can access the same data using any other Deso app.
Thank you for your understanding!
What is the monthly opex to keep the website live?
I love what you have created. Glad you're not giving up 👍 #WAGMI
Thanks for the update, I'm sure the community will appreciate it.
Are you still planning to/thinking of open sourcing the code?
Very sad. Good luck with your new project. Thank you for being there.
Quite the conundrum. Which came first, the chicken or the egg - users or the killer app. Possible lessons to be learned here that maybe the killer app won’t be able to bring users if there aren’t already a solid number of users to begin with. I don’t know the answer, but this obviously represents an example to be considered.
Your team did a phenomenal job with Supernovas. Hopefully this is just temporary downtime.
