Here’s a preview of “artstr” - working name.. I have other screens, but sharing what I linked together. 1. Focus on media (media-first) 2. Make it about the people, not nostr the tech, blossoms or payments (though everything will be powered by those things). 3. Discover new art and artists (promote new artists) 4. Home gallery - requires skin in the game to have you stuff shown here - maybe a nostr address qualifier with revocation for abuse. 5. You can upload anything you like, but gallery views will prioritize original art not generated stuff. People might sneak in too, but risk revocation of nostr address (a qualifier to be in the gallery). 6. Tagging of uploaded media as “Original” or “Generated”. You must select one or the other. If tagged as Original, automatic barring from being used for AI training. This will be spelled out in terms of use. Violators can be held liable by the artist. 7. Generated art will not be subject to the above rule. 8. Emphasize sharing and bookmarking. This needs to work well, and we probably can’t use njump for this. Eventually users might be able to create collections and share their entire collections (maybe somehow zap split, not sure). 9. Zaps not visible unless the person adds a lightning address. Taking Signal’s approach here - focus on the purpose of the client, payments are secondary. Selling art, collaborations, zap splits are all great ideas but too much for V1, or even V2, could be something for down the road. I will review all of the other feedback that you guys left for me yesterday and categorize / design if applicable and doable. I welcome further feedback / push back / criticisms, anything you want to throw at me. #nostrdesign https://cdn.satellite.earth/10b08acebc54e719e5a6c0ddcaaf0023d17207cd90617bc7f0dfd97daf8228c2.mov

This looks really interesting, and your ‘aims’ list is a great set of base points… a very useful approach There’s nothing like this, that might properly allow and platform personal portfolio collections of artists’ content offers within this social space… although the need is clearly more than strong It’s not difficult to see how, for many of us, this could help to add a further sense and visibility to posting original visual content here… in ways that would in turn then foster further content creation and engagement I suspect it would get picked up and populated, and start to work, pretty quickly…

I can’t tell if this is serious or not. Artstr is a random name I picked because we end all nostr apps with str. Art + str The app was inspired by a note here on nostr that talked about artists leaving some platform and going to another. I do not work for open sats nor speak to anyone at open sats about anything nostr related. Open sats does not tell me what to work on nor give me any ideas. I do everything out of my free will. That’s how grants work. See my previous posts about ideas being plentiful. Ideas are nothing. Even this design is nothing if not developed. Even if developed, it’s nothing without marketing effort, monetization and a million other things you have to do to build a business. All of this said, this is all open source … nobody stops you from forking anything. Artstr doesn’t exist so there’s nothing to fork. You could go ahead and build it right now. Hell, use this design, I don’t care. 🤷‍♂️

Hey Nela, I understand why you may think that and why so upset, but my impression is that it was a mere *coincidence* that @Karnage came up with a similar idea also called Artsr. Artsr is a very GENERIC name! It would be like someone interested in books wanting to create Bookstr. Also, I don’t @Karnage is somone who would intentionally steal another person’s idea. Hope you feel better and see this message. Take care! 🫂💜 🌸
