Who wants to be mediocre? Perhaps some people are comfortable. Maybe their ego has them believing they’re winning. In your bubble, sure. In the real world, not so much. 

I read posts of others offering suggestions and tips. For example, @MaxDeMarco  wrote a great post recently about user experience. I hope it doesn’t fall on deaf ears. He also offered to help. I hope someone reaches out to him and join forces. Nostr doesn’t have an official team so you have to make your own. I’m shocked that more people aren’t joining forces. Some people might say “we are.” But it’s clear you need more people on the team bringing other perspectives, solutions, and recommendations. If Nostr was truly poppin’ right now, it would have more users and the users would stay. 

Recall, I lurked for a while before making my first post on this account. Have some improvements been made? Yes. But is it enough? 

I’ve personally offered suggestions and sometimes it feels like my advice falls on deaf ears. Perhaps I should *limit* my ideas, tips, suggestions, and recommendations for the public until I see the ones I’ve offered being implemented. Why keep giving suggestions if I don’t see them being implemented? Maybe people don’t see the value in it. Who knows? 

I want to see more collaboration. Max mentioned a community idea and I agree. That applies to Nostr as well. Link up with others. Reach out to them. Slide in their DMs or contact them in some other form. We go further together. 

 The GitCitadel team is a group who has joined forces to make some more reliable software for nostr and to make nostr do some additional things.  All of the members have other jobs, so aren't full time, but they are doing great work.  They also will listen to your suggestions.  They are good people doing good work out of love for people and freedom.
