Nostr is the open ecosystem alternative to the super app.

This is an important idea from @nostrich​ and there’s a lot to unpack here

@nostrich

Existing apps/super-apps are run by full stack orgs that have many layers of services bundled together. We often discuss the UI and the database layers, but these orgs have also have policy, customer service, algorithmic discovery, advertising sales and operations, eng infrastructure, accounting/finance, HR teams, etc.

The beauty/magic of nostr is not just that it separates UI from datastore. Those are obviously important. But in separating those the full-stack orgs also get unbundled. The unbundling allows for OSS or layer-specific companies to be built providing solutions which fill consumer/business needs better than any single centralized provider has organizational bandwidth to handle.

Huge net benefit accrues to the consumer who has the freedom to choose which tools serve their needs best!

Agree. We have seen Nostr client apps and micro apps so far. How do you see the integration happening between them?
