GM!
I don’t get all this negativity around Nostr
Can you explain it to me!?
GM! I see not much negativity on Nostr, just many simply do not know it exists and are confused by many (often unfinished/abandoned) clients and not much better relays for self-hosting... Nostr IMVHO need a single app, go install-able, pip-able, cargo build-able who is:
- a relay for self hosting
- a WebUI for manage the relay
- a client to post short and long form notes
- a media storage for images/video one might want to attach/show in notes
- a contacts manager, allowing exporting/importing vcards and obviously with Nostr npub integration
- a "mail-on-nostr" client, meaning notes ciphered with the recipient's public key if he/she/it is on Nostr
- a "blog-on-nostr" with a public WebUI that could be served locally/proxyed by NGINX/*
There is almost anything already, only not packaged in a single, easy-to-deploy (especially for those who have zero Nostr knowledge), compact app, also easy for distro packagers. Without such "easy entry barrier for geeks and techies" it's hard to became popular.
