Nostr Report turned one today! Exactly one year ago we started the Nostr Report with one goal in mind—To be the human algorithm that brings the best news and updates to the users of Nostr. We set out to capture the many changes and developments rapidly occurring on this new censorship-resistant protocol. The protocol was changing daily, with new features such as zaps, communities, and more being added and standardized in new NIPs. New apps, relays, and “other stuff” projects were also emerging at a rapid pace. We saw influential people like Ed Snowden joining, conferences and meetups being planned, and yet there were no algorithms to help capture and share all of this. That’s where we set out to make a difference.

Since then, we have produced a variety of content to make sure you don’t miss anything important. This includes over 350 daily reports which served to keep everyone up to date with the daily pulse on Nostr. We have appeared weekly on nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 📻 in more than 40 episodes to deliver a roundup of each week’s Nostr news. We’ve written articles and welcomed guest writers to publish blogs on various relevant topics. We started a weekly tech newsletter to take a deeper look into Nostr’s tech developments. Our on-the-ground reporter nostr:npub1y67n93njx27lzmg9ua37ce7csvq4awvl6ynfqffzfssvdn7mq9vqlhq62h covered some incredible events, such as the first Nostr “Unconference” at Nostrica, as well as BTC Prague, Baltic Honeybadger, and Nostrasia. 

And now we’re working on new formats and methods of keeping you informed about what’s happening on Nostr. As we reflect on an amazing 1st year, we have taken your feedback and suggestions to make some changes to the Nostr Report, which we announced last week and are in the process of developing. While the Daily Report was initially an effective tool, it became clear based on declining engagement, and your helpful feedback, that it was not the best content format moving forward. In addition to new content, we are also exploring new ways to sustain our efforts. We have learned a lot from operating solely on a V4V basis this past year, both in its potential and its current limitations. Our commitment to V4V continues, along with developing additional ways to support the time and efforts of our team members and contributors.

Thank you for an amazing first year! We can’t wait to see what the next 12 months have in store for all of us.

Stay Classy, Nostr.
