The use case for this app is mostly people who are searching for answers to specific questions. So I think they will be motivated to pay if they are desperate enough for the answer.
But I agree, there is too much friction with the payment right now. I'm working on integrating WebLN/Alby, so it will be a one-click payment.
It's not the payment that is the friction, it's the requirement to pay before seeing the answer

I think there is a use case for that, but you're potentially sacrificing the casual use case, which might be necessary to build up a userbase.
People on stack overflow already spend a lot of effort answering questions for little tangible personal gain already, why? Seems like that open model with tipping for upvotes like SN would be great by itself/maybe all you need to do.

I personally believe that the answerer should be able to decide their price, not ask for tips. Make it a true fair market.

Fair enough, IMO that's a bit sterile and transactional compared to SN where the incentives balance out to make it a bit more fun and community-fostering. I'll definitely be checking back for updates though, good luck!
