#Nostr is incredible. I use one client for “tweet-style” notes, a different client to upload media, yet another client to occasionally compose formatted long form content, one lightning wallet to receive zaps, a few other lightning wallets to send zaps, and it all just works.


Yup! That's my experience too.
Obviously the way everything should work


What do you use for media?


A mix of satellite.earth, nostr.build, and Primal.


What have you been using for longforms?


Habla.news has been my favorite so far.


Which one to upload media?


Satellite.earth, nostr.build, and Primal. Depends on what I’m uploading.

:blobyes:


So for the best nostr experience, we should be telling people they’ll need several different apps on their already cluttered phones? https://image.nostr.build/889e64d7200e434ed915738c6c25b88f0873f1d82198bd2894e823988a770bb7.jpg


💯 it’s a beautiful thing 🔥


That sounds very disjointed and cumbersome.
I see the issue too and hope more clients integrate more feature to avoid this.


*rose tints off*
Disjointed inflexibility.

Jokes aside though - “we’re early” and it will get better.


In the big picture it is good UX, far better than the existing situation where every app and website has a separate account system you have to use and manage passwords for. People have and will always use multiple applications for various purposes. Nostr is a bit clunky so that needs to be worked out, but having one profile between multiple apps and all of your content and media viewable and accessible seamlessly across multiple apps is like nothing I’ve ever experienced online.


#Nostr should be studied as an OS.


I’m not sure the average human cares about that, though. They already use Facebook login for everything. Explaining the benefits of decentralization to them is pointless. Having one login for multiple apps doesn’t feel new, won’t attract new users, and might also be hindering retention.

Having a handful apps that can all do all of it and are competing with each other is far superior to the current approach of dozens of niche apps which all do only one or two things well.

Nostr needs to stop throwing shit at the wall and instead gather all the shit that stuck together into something far more polished and feature-rich than what we have now.


:partyblob:


Tor like web app browser using Nostr, with a wallet, social media...


Right? A browser as a portal to Nostr with apps as plugins, or I guess as you suggest also web apps.


One of the issues is with how the lightning network works. If they add support for another cryptocurrency only one wallet would be needed.


Satellite.earth is so good. That’s what I’m using for desktop nostr’in.


Onward 🫡


i have Primal running on an android phone. web based on a linux laptop, even the ios app runs on Mac OS no problem.


What is the formatted long content?


What is the formatted long content client called?


There are a few but I prefer Habla.news. Yakihonne is another good one.
