nostr has its issues. but for those who figure it out, it’s the most powerful network that exists today. challenge is helping more people figure it out.

likely most of that won’t come from social use cases, but rather the microapps that @nostrich​ originally envisioned and folks like @nostrich​ are focused on building.

the power of this thing is the ecosystem part. it’s permission-less, meaning anyone can build whatever they want, and it has a permission-less global payment system readily available through bitcoin. but neither will sell people on joining it.

if the apps built on top of nostr do valuable things, like https://highlighter.com does, then every nostr app and use case benefits, including the social clients.

this is going to be a long road, but one that fundamentally changes the way people experience the internet. if it doesn’t succeed itself, it will certainly inspire the thing that does.

Grasping and understanding the little documentation there was for Nostr development felt like the early days of the Internet but once you get it, you get it. Afterward, this made it really easy to spin up my trivia for sats apps I built #[4]​ #[5]

So what about bluesky? Is atprotocol a dead end if nostr is the most powerful network that exists today? And what about twitter/Musk? Where do you stand on all these exactly? I know nobody here criticises you because they want your money. But I'm curious, do you ever want to be accountable to y...

Agree. Future best use for Nostr protocol is utility. Not a focus on building social network.

Remember geocities.com? HTML broadened the developer base…this massively helped the internet to grow. I don’t know if there can be an equivalent for nostr apps, but having everyone and their brother able to build something fast is a massive advantage.

Well said! My number one worry about Nostr is related to privacy issues. https://www.psacramento.com/how-developers-can-mitigate-the-risks-of-user-data-being-exposed-on-nostr/

nostr is not only a replacement of twitter, but also a replacement of pinterest, pinboard, and raindrop: https://pinstr.app/ #[3]​ note194n247lecqgcskk5rmmfgrapt4jx7ppq64xec0eca3s4ta3hwkrsex7pxa
