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.
