I need a few strangers to break my Mini App 💛
I’ve just shipped a small web-based app called Pay It Sideways, and I’ve reached the dangerous stage where I know exactly how it works… which means I’m now completely useless at judging whether it actually makes sense. 😂 The idea is simple: Someone sends you a private message of kindness, with the option of attaching a small amount of NIM (Nimiq cryptocurrency). You don’t need a crypto wallet to receive or read the message. If there’s NIM attached, you can choose to keep it or pass the kindness onwards. Try it here: https://pay-it-sideways.grand-sugar.workers.dev/first-kindness I need a handful of people who have never used it before to test the real journey on their phone. No 14-day testing. No review or rating. No crypto knowledge needed. Just - open it, use it naturally without me telling you what to press, keep or pass on any NIM you receive -it’s genuinely yours. Then tell me where you got confused, hesitated, or something broke Bonus points if you’re willing to screen-record your first attempt, because seeing where someone gets stuck is incredibly useful. If you try it, please let me know how you got on — especially if something confused you or didn’t work. That’s exactly what I need to find. And I’m very happy to return the favour and test something you’ve shipped too. 💛

@Gavin Stevens you're right, it wasn't clear. Ordinary kindness notes can be opened without an app, but accepting one of these funded 5,000 NIM gifts specifically requires the free Nimiq Pay app. I buried that distinction beneath the button, which is poor UX. I’m changing the wording and the button flow now. Thank you for catching it.

@Gavin Stevens That’s completely fair feedback, Gavin. The installation step is unquestionably a hurdle for somebody outside the Nimiq ecosystem. In this case Nimiq Pay isn’t an arbitrary wallet choice: Pay It Sideways was built specifically for the Nimiq Pay Mini Apps competition, and Nimiq Pay provides the secure wallet connection and transaction approvals the app uses. I deliberately avoided holding users’ funds or private keys on my server. Ordinary words-only messages can still be created and received in a browser without installing anything; only receiving or moving the gifted NIM requires Nimiq Pay. Longer term, broader browser-wallet support could be worth exploring. For this version, the useful lesson is that I must make the Nimiq Pay requirement completely clear before somebody presses the button, which your test helped expose. Thank you.
Happy Friday!
Forty-five pounds and a whole pants size down. Lesson learned: never give up on a goal. Not really roastable; I'm just excited hahaha.
Happy Friday!
