Pretty slick but UX still confusing AF
Yes, the ux is terrible. I'm only a backend engineer, I don't know how to build a beautiful GUI. But you know what's cool about building it the way I did? Reliability. If the buyer has a path to the seller, the contract is guaranteed to work. If he doesn't, the contract never happens. I decided to build something ugly and reliable and hire someone to fix the ui later if/when we get funding rather than build something pretty that only works sometimes. It's a trade-off but I'm confident that I made the right choice, because it's easier to make ugly software pretty than it is to make broken software work.

Yes trust me I know exactly what you mean. I deal with a software that is in this very state! But what you built is amazing. Imagine using eBay and selecting ln as a payment!

Thanks! Yes, the process is not very consumer friendly right now - what is important though is that it works. Once we launch, the UX and UI will be a lot more user friendly and allow the average person to use this with ease. We are still in beta and wanted to validate the idea before we further develop this.
