Been wondering. Seen the question asked, why are most clients basically the same; the answer seems simple enough: the primitives used to build nostr are focused on one thing, essentially.

Which gets me wondering - beyond social, is nostr actually any much good for anything?

I've been building Chronicle, but though it doesn't use any typical nostr social elements, it is still a "social" app, albeit one that's focused on giving families the ability to share stories and memories.

Zap cooking is a great tool, and implements the social side of nostr nicely. Npub.pro is useful for sharing content outside of the nostr ecosystem. There's games and the obvious social element. There's marketplaces.

All are essentially social media type tools.

What is there, beyond social, that nostr would or could be useful for?

Nostr is an identity system. You shouldnโ€™t have one identity, you should have many. One for social, one for politics, one for gaming, one for your local sports club, one for your neighbourhood watch etc etc People got so stuck on the idea that you can take your identity to any app that they miss...

its is a good question. what is the point of the internet? it was supposedly going to allow free exchange of ideas and connectivity to break down barriers. so in that sense it was intended to be a social network really. what I find difficult on nostr is to find groups to connect with like-minded ...

> beyond social, is nostr actually any much good for anything? Stay in the very broad lane of "#social" and I think it'll be fine. It may even be that it is already beyond the event horizon of complexity that means even its founder is shedding liability for the extraordinary experiment.
