How to develop a Nostr client in 10 simple steps:

1. Visit the Nostr GitHub repository and get familiar with the protocol.

2. Write down all the NIPs on pieces of paper, put them into a hat, and draw 13 random ones. Use ONLY these to build your client.

3. Prepare for marathon code sprint by drinking 2.5L of GM.

4. Publish code, then use a stable client to write a post asking for help from real devs.

5. Buy 3 large rolls of duct tape to perform fixes for version 0.0000001.

6. Post memes to collect enough zaps so you can buy another 2.5L of GM.

7. Embark on a dev quest with two close allies. To reach version 0.000001, you must slay Pubki, the Nightshade Troll, and reach the town of Aldenmorrow. You are armed with a bluetooth keyboard, a faulty relay, and an ostrich feather.

8. Call Jack Dorsey.

9. Appear on 250-300 podcasts to and reach 1 million repetitions of the word 'decentralization'.

10. Launch version 1.0 and wonder how to increase your userbase from 3 to 10.
