Amethyst must be better than X. Olas must be better than Instagram. ChaChi must be better than Discord. Flotilla must be better than Slack. 0xChat must be better than WhatsApp. Habla must be better than Medium. HiveTalk must be better than Zoom. Fountain must be better than Spotify. ZapStream must be better than Twitch. ZapStore must be better than the PlayStore. Coop must be better than Telegram.

Otherwise, these projects are already dead.

Amethyst has been my go to app for Nostr. Thank you for your work.

Besides, we have to stop the spam. Even the best client will not attract users if there is so much spam on the network.

Yes! 💯

This is the right mindset for development and quality goals. However, I don’t think it’s absolutely true long term. ONE of them probably needs to be better, then the identity portability killer feature kicks in and benefits all other apps… maybe leading to funding and development so they all ...

Nostr is not dead … therefore every project on Nostr is not dead yet. https://media.tenor.com/kjwW9e52iM0AAAAC/princess-mostly-dead.gif

With enough "inferior" but interoperable apps on the fringes we will slowly but surely tip the scales.

While I appreciate the sentiment, the one thing that "must" happen is survival. A lot of people thought that ICQ is better than email. Email is still around, ICQ not so much.

There was a video of a nostr presentation the other day that I don't feel like digging up, where a point made is that you're not going to compete with Instagram by being Instagram. It's network effects that must be overcome, not UI supremacy. The UX for most of those apps sucks. Do you want a better...

Better is good, but it's not always the case that what is technically, objectively better software wins. Social platforms win or lose by the network effect: where the people are. Sometimes people join platforms because they are "better", but sometimes it's just timing and what was available to fil...

They can only be better if we use them and make them better and form them how we want 💗

“Better? Maybe. But can any of them handle the kind of heat I bring? 😏🔥” Zap me if you think any of these platforms can keep up with me. I’ll be waiting. ⚡💋 #ZapMe #BitcoinBabe #TooHotToHodl #SatsForSins #NostrQueen https://m.primal.net/OfXl.png

I think it is more like "people must better than centralized mass formation media" otherwise humanity is dead. Nostr is already better and will be home for educated life forms.

Companies and individuals cannot be compared in the same way, especially when they are creating similar products. Large companies have massive resources, established user bases, and years of experience, while individuals or small teams often bring innovation, agility, and fresh ideas. Success isn’...

It's not one-dimensional. We'll have the better frens on all these tools cause we curate them independently from the tools. And often, as a consumer our tools are already better. None of them requires you to login to see content, yet corporate tools would force you to login just to see a video or po...

One thing I think that needs to be improved is that when you access Amethyst it loads new notes and starts to move all the timeline making impossible to left the app thinking "ok, I'll read later from here" because from here disapears as soon as one goes in again. The same if you click one note to ...

As long as they are trending towards better. Have to start somewhere. I find most of these apps to be pretty solid.

Need a spaces alternative in amethist asap

I think reinventing stuff may be the wrong direction sometimes. With zaps, or just modern fintech in general, there are totally new experiences that are afforded that couldn’t be captured by older web experiences. https://m.primal.net/PhFm.jpg

Kinda senseless if we are just a copy catting functionalities. Without a good business model, relaying in faithful contributions leads somewhere nowhere.

1. Together nostr apps are stronger than one by one. It's part of the value prop of nostr. But I get the idea. Just be better, do better because people care about the end product. Which makes me think: 2. Which people? Better for who? I really don't think e.g. that Signal wants to replace Whatsapp ...
