This PR adds a page where we showcase companies and projects building using the Bitcoin Development Kit.

The outline for this is taken from lightningdevkit/lightningdevkit.org#203.

I spoke with Lava and they'd love to be part of this.

What's the status of this? Would be great to get it launched. It is nice having an easily shareable showcase for LDK https://lightningdevkit.org/case-studies/

[thunderbiscuit]

Awesome to hear from Lava!

The current status is that I've been using a template that Haley provided me (the one she used for LDK) and started filling it out. My latest round of contacts were Lipa, Galoy, Seba, and Pocket Bitcoin. I have not heard back yet (it's been about2 weeks now) but I think I will reach out on official emails instead of informal Twitter/Discord messages (if you're not friends on Discord I think messages sometimes get lost; same for reaching out to Twitter handles).

[thunderbiscuit]

I'm changing my mind on this PR. I initially wanted to have all orgs before merging, but now that we have a good start with 8 projects, why not merge this now and we'll add to it in the following weeks as the rest of the answers come in? I also think it might be easier to get responses once we have a working example with an already very strong group of projects on the page already.

How does that sound? I'm worried of just waiting for perfection when we have a great page already. @notmandatory @moneyball any opinion on this?

FYI even if you agree @notmandatory don't merge just yet I need to clean up the logos to make them all the same size.

[moneyball]

Agree but perhaps do one more round of outreach to those who have yet to respond and provide a deadline (eg 1 week). Also if some are unresponsive let me know and I can try too.

(for LDK we got 100% participation pre-launch)

[realeinherjar]

As discussed in W38 Language Bindings Dev Call, we need a tracking issue with the ones that we haven't got feedback on the showcase permission.

ACK a2053e0.

[thunderbiscuit]

I received a recommendation to tag developers directly here instead of writing emails as devs check their GitHub accounts more than their emails 🤣.

Some projects we'd love to include on the page (please let us know if someone else on your team is a better contact!):

Galoy: @bodymindarts
Bitmask: @cryptoquick
Pocket Bitcoin: @vesparny
Bull Bitcoin: @BullishNode
Foundation Devices: @icota
Lipa: @gcomte @danielgranhao
Stackmate: @i5hi

If you'd be so kind as to give us the thumbs up to be added on the page, we'll pull your logo from your website and the tagline for your project! (feel free to provide us with a custom tagline as well). I'll leave this PR open for another week; if you can get back to us within that timeframe that'd be perfect, otherwise it's not a problem! We can add you in on later PRs to the website.

Note: you can see what the page looks like on this preview.

[thunderbiscuit]

Will reach out to Lexe

Twitter announcement: link

[moneyball]

@thunderbiscuit you can also reach out via Twitter/X, Discord, etc.

[icota]

@thunderbiscuit we'd love to be included!

You can fetch the logo from the stores eg. https://apps.apple.com/hr/app/envoy-by-foundation/id1584811818 and the best tagline we could come up with is:

Envoy By Foundation
A Bitcoin wallet with powerful account management and privacy features. Use alongside your Passport hardware wallet to take true ownership of your Bitcoin.

Thanks!

[thunderbiscuit]

Envoy by Foundation Devices is added!

Re: reaching out through Discord/Twitter, yep that's exactly what I did for the first round. I think the low response rate might have been because on Discord and Twitter, DMs go to special side places if the person reaching out is not a friend (Discord) or if you don't follow them (Twitter). I suspect some of these messages never got seen at all and just got lost in the sauce. I'll reach out over email next after this round!

[notmandatory]

ACK b8b2d1c

Looks great!

[BullishNode]

Bull Bitcoin:
"A self-custodial Bitcoin Wallet and Exchange app that lets users buy, sell, spend and get paid with Bitcoin. Bitcoins are automatically sent from the exchange to the user's wallet."

Thanks @thunderbiscuit

[cryptoquick]

Hi, I'd be happy to have you add BitMask as well.

Here are our logos:
