 Then you're doing something wrong, because what you're saying doesn't correspond to reality. I could list enough projects now that are tinkered with on a daily basis, and the best part is that it's based on a single protocol that stands up to censorship. But if you prefer closed sources and don't want transparency, you can use the broken social media and have your opinion censored. 

That being said, it's not even about social media as many people think, because this is just a presentation of what's possible. 

It's about this protocol being open to all, and if you know that, you really shouldn't complain about it, but start contributing and addressing the issues you have with it, because it's an OPEN PROTOCOL ;)

 List them.  Genuine challenge.  Preferably off the top of your head.  We used to have nostreport do that, but they dont any more.

 Nice list.  But how many are still "tinkered with on a daily basis". 
 I don't know, but we now have the largest, steadily-growing, dev team and we're building Big Things on our own stack.

We're starting to deliver. Should only speed up, from here. The others had a huge head start, is all. 
 We did have to pool our efforts, to compete, tho. Hard to compete as a Lone Wolf, anymore. Need to form teams. 
 💯 small few can change the world

 Are you sure it's growing.  Was better 6-12months ago, imho. 
 I meant, our team is growing, at @GitCitadel . Just added another scientist, yesterday, to work on our models.

 Congrats.  You may not realize it, but nostr actually would not exist without the git use case.  I've also been working on it for 4 years, but in my case relays are not a storage system, they relay git events from one repo to another.  Hopefully our ideas can find an intersection. 
 If you get your events compatible with the "Git Stuff" NIP, we can read them.

@Michael J found another one. 
 I see a different intersection.  My Git NIP predates NIP-34 and I've been iterating on it 4-5 years until it's exactly what I want.  However I can use git with ngit becasue its compatible with git.  Just like I use it with radicle.  In this case the common territory is git and nostr.  Rather than a bespoke NIP.  One thing that i need is the equivalent of "github pages" and radicle has implemented that, as have I.  If I used ngit too, that would be the first thing that I would look at. 
 Let me correct this.  Having looked through the details, the two are compatible.  Fortunately we managed to converge on the same idea due to good luck. 
 Ah, I see, it's influenced on my NIP-17 already

 Also, 6-12 months ago, it was still a bunch of scriptkiddie stuff. We're now working on stuff like distributed file systems, browsers, source control, IDEs, encryption libraries, publishing, machine learning, data modeling, and operating systems.
And we're trying to produce professional quality.

It's a totally different landscape, now. 
 nah.  It's still script kiddie stuff.  Just fewer of them. 
 The grownups have arrived. It's a new era. 
 Let's hope so! 
 😂 We're literally a bunch of professionals.  
 How does it compare to : https://radicle.xyz/ 
 Do you have a dev chat?
