Many many ideas here… I highlighted three here https://njump.me/naddr1qqnrzttev4shyttvv96x2u3dwa58jttwdaehgu3dwd6xjmrv94ex2um0deshgetnqgsqvcu68pkfcyq5y9mz9n9u7sys33835rpnuglc6mtg7j4lv40c7ugrqsqqqa28jd47qz 1 nEcho, a micro app for optimizing your reach via Nostr (NIP-65) 2 Nostrides.cc platform where you can share Nostr activity events (NIP-113) 3 A child-friendly video web app with parent-curated content (NIP-71)
Ok using npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg for almost 24 hours but I'm already getting a lot of quirks. Seeing a lot of double notes and notifications. For example: https://shares.sebastix.dev/VNgpUorE.png I also regurarly get the message that an event could not be published after I signed it. And about all the trending / recommendations lists in the client, it feels too centralized as I still see the same names / content as one year ago. This volume of repetition is quite annoying. It's too distracting, it's not relevant and often not contextual too. So meehhh it still does not feel good enough for me. But I know I'm a power user so that's why noStrudel fits me better.
Some of my learned lessons of my voluntary job at the Nostr booth at npub13e6qu4kdjsyysrfl5an558rawvqg0rx2xuat9ca706spcdqjzhuqq6md43 . - Don't count too much on the organisation taking care of nice place with a booth. After the BTC Prague conference their idea was to setup a similar booth. As the Amsterdam conference was getting closer, this setup was already downgraded in certains ways. At the end we just had to deal with a table in the corner of the expo hall besides other companies. This doesn't make sense. There is a community area as well at the Bitcoin Amsterdam conference and to me it's still a big question mark why a grassroots project isn't placed there. So for next year it would be a very nice to have to bring our own booth to the conference. - So many people who don't know Nostr assume you're a company (because we were standing in the area with all the other companies). - Some people assumed Nostr is an NFT. - Some people assumed Nostr uses some blockchain technology. - The concept of there is no single point of truth or a consensus mechanism is sometimes quite hard to understand for some. - Search often doesn't work in clients we used to explain / onboard people. I guess many clients are running a background process indexing content. That content is not avaible immediately when you just downloaded a client. - Using a NFC card with your npub is really use to share it with someone else and start following (thx npub1fldgkyxjm92mr7zlrejmhd3ymlzx2awhpxpwserzl5v2w7a7a93q0n7wu7 and npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw showing this). There is a huge market opportunity here selling Nostr NFC powered merchandise. - At average it takes around 10-20 minutes to talk with just someone explaining all different Nostr stuff. - Many people already understand why we need Nostr and their questions were in general about how to do certain stuff as they already have a Nostr keypair. - Explaining my own story why I use Nostr seems to resonate. In this story / pitch I explain why Nostr is healthy and serving my digital wellbeing in a positive way. - Helping at the booth is one of the best ways to meet new people. - The livestream just worked, the wifi connection was really good! Thumbs up for that to the organisation! - When explaining Nostr, you often just see the click in someones mind when they just see how different the protocol works compared to other (legacy) platforms we're using. - People like stickers, almost our whole stack is gone now. - People really like npub1gwa27rpgum8mr9d30msg8cv7kwj2lhav2nvmdwh3wqnsa5vnudxqlta2sz his art and style. - We need informational flyers which people can take with them to home. - We need rollup banners. Especially when you just have a table availble you can use as a 'booth'. - We need more (free) Nostr merchandise. - When people see a free power outlet, they will ask you if they can use it to charge their phone. - I need to take notes of people's names who I helped onboarding so I can tag them later on. Tagging me was often a challenge for them (it's the same issue with search) when they took the effort to write an note . - Nostr needs to attent to a non-Bitcoin event / conference to gather feedback from other type of audiences. I'm curious what you all have learned from this expierence npub14qpe36rvq0l6m3crplsntmnkzjm04weqflq0veqc8ra5hz4lpvxqqkdffc npub14wxtsrj7g2jugh70pfkzjln43vgn4p7655pgky9j9w9d75u465pqvagcye npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa npub1hw6amg8p24ne08c9gdq8hhpqx0t0pwanpae9z25crn7m9uy7yarse465gr npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 npub1equrmqway3qxw3dkssymusxkwgwrqypfgeqx0lx9pgjam7gnj4ysaqhkj6 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw
