 you build your own house, and it takes longer than buying a house, and you don't paint it for a good long while and maybe people don't understand the type of person that would live in such a house.

but you're the user of the house. it serves your needs. you can see a lot of people from your windows, and that is fun and exciting.

and then when you have time you can paint it and filigree the edges., or not.

even better, the house that Nostr built has blueprints, that anyone can look at and copy and use, without restriction.

i honestly don't give many fucks about usability beyond this sort of use, as a tool for people that need a Nostr. 

if you don't like the state of the tool, or you so very much want it to be better for your needs, great. build your house.

this isn't particularly aimed at you, but i've recognized, or just recently discovered, a trend where some Nostr folks look to a desired future when we'll have more users, more content, more zaps, better users, better content, better UX, better steaks, more steaks, etc.

today i realized exactly how much the nak cli does. it's not hard to use, it's just typing into a program i already have on my computer.
