Oddbean new post about login | logout i’m noticing several projects in nostr going after similar goals who don’t seem to be collaborating. i’m not sure if that’s for perceived competition, a very different approach to the problem spaces, or general lack of communication about project goals. with open source software i would expect more collaboration. if you’re building something in nostr i’m curious why you may not be collaborating with others building similar/relevant stuff.
Work an grow togheter.. #growNostr
Meanwhile, in python there are 18 ways to manage your virtualenvs It’s really not that simple to assume collaboration even between almost identical implementations I don’t think competing tools is bad Also open source is a series of cat herding exercises
It's totally okay for people to work on similar nostr ideas and goals. They may approach it from a different angle, or use different technologies. As long as they know about each other, they will influence each other. If the code is available to look at, they can see how the other dev did something. It isn't necessary for them to be buddies or be in tight communication. Also, people like you (story teller of nostr) can help with that process of discovery by writing and talking about projects so that devs are aware of them.
