I think the trust problem isn't your product — it's the cold start. Nobody wants to be the first one to put real money through an unknown escrow.
Maybe instead of leading with escrow, start with something lighter — like a matchmaking layer that connects people who want to do peer-to-peer crypto swaps. Build the user base around finding counterparties first, keep yourself out of the money flow initially. Once people are already using the platform to find each other, introducing escrow as an optional safety layer becomes a much easier sell.
The worst is when you find a bug, fix it, and then Claude Code starts spiraling — "this isn't right either", "actually let me change this part too", "wait no let me revert that" — just Clauding endlessly and making things worse.
Now I make it break everything into atomic changes. At least it's not a total black box anymore.
I built a terminal collaboration tool and one of the hardest parts of getting my friends to try it is that they have to install a binary and set up tmux before they can even see what it looks like. A browser preview would completely change that.
Do you have plans for WebSocket support in the browser runtime? Would be interesting to see if real-time features (like live chat or presence indicators) could work in the browser version too.
