I am not convinced we are “in a race” against people building existing solutions. they are racing to the same demise as previous platforms. Some of us are building slowly and methodically to avoid the issues of the past. Ignore high time preference shortcut takers, let’s do it right.

Doing it right is not just for “pro” users, it’s for everyone, and it will have a better experience.

Agree! I am building something (#nostr #safebox) that is not even part of the current digital wallet ‘race’. Everyone else is building something that has to work on a phone while I am building something that can exist independently on the network.

It's not a race but rather how the models work, decentralized vs centralized. Centralization has really good moderation, algorithm, and advertisement curating, the downside, is that moderation comes at the cost of potential censorship, the algorithms/ads collect a lot of data. Vs. Decentralized, ...

The ‘race’ would be attacking the center, which is futile imo. You don’t attack entrenched network effects head on, it is pointless; Nostr loses on most of all metrics which got those platforms in that position in the first place, at least for now. What sets Nostr apart is the openness and in...

I think it’s likely nostr, ATproto, and matrix converge in the next 2 years

IMO the "race" is just for better relay management controls. What that looks like is client-dependent. But I don't think we've seen much "pro level" relay management systems. Amethyst is off to a good start, and some web clients offer.. "decent" at best.. Curious what Notedeck can do to bridge "bas...

Well said! Don’t get caught up in their game. Quality > speed

If the car randomly dies every x miles, then it doesn't matter that it has rain-sensing wipers. 😉 Quality, and professional output, matter more than many want to admit.

go slow, fix things.

The argument I've heard for why nostr wasn't implemented to use binary encoding and instead adopts json is the opposite of this.

Keep at it Will. The work you are doing on things behind the scenes like nostrdb are more important than social media.
