i don't know who needs to hear this right now but read and respect the NIPs, don't blindly copy other people's code. all nostr clients need to be interoperable and the spec we agreed upon is on the NIPs. there are mistakes, bugs and leftovers from experimentation in some clients.

agree with u


Agreed, and for anyone trying to do something non-standard, NIP 78 is your friend. You can often experiment there with your own custom namespace, then upgrade user data to a standard version when it exists.

“In some clients…”

I think we’re all guilty. 😂

I'll add to this: stop trying to fix other people's clients on your code. That is the road to protocol bloat and death. Don't trade away the simplicity of Nostr in order to get 0.001% better UX for your users or we will all lose in the end.

If you see that some client is doing something wrong, try talking to them, or bring it up on Nostr, that benefits everybody.


I must confess I haven't looked at anybody else's code yet. I'm too busy for that.


How often are client devs all meeting together to work on Nostr? Do you all meet like one a month on Nostr Nests or anything like that?


Is there a place to meet? I need it


Respec muh authority!

Bro tell that to Damus or Amethyst. Loads of things they do contrary to existing NIPs, then their thing becomes the new standard cause other clients implement it as well to be compatible with the big boys.
