🌶 take: we need more nostr "other stuff" developers teaming up and joining efforts in a single project (á la Snort + Iris) instead of flying solo. We have very talented devs that get a lot done by themselves but I think working together can have compounding effects. Better to have a polished app that works flawlessly instead of multiple similar apps with their own bugs and shortcomings.


not a hot take tbh, have shared the same view for a long long time


What other stuff do you think is underdeveloped? Personally I think it's the file stuff. Probably based on something like blossom but with NextCloud like features. With a encrypted by default portalble file system tied to your nostr identity a lot of apps become possible.


You and me should join forces, nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg 🤫


you were right then, you are right now. the tendency is not to join efforts hence the 🌶 take but perhaps many people share this opinion.


not about being right either 💜 just want the best for nostr

some arguments were made, that it is a lot of fun for a singular dev to explore, test and launch things without having to have those discussions and all that


This has been one of Nostr’s major flaws since the beginning.


It depends 🤔 that doesn’t fit for everyone - some devs value the freedom of working alone. You’d have to closely work together, I.e. you need to get along on a personal level as well. Also, everyone needs to be aligned with goals and vision of the project. If it works - it may be very successful and more fun.


I’ve been saying this for a long time. 💯


Yes, please.


I personally think that audio (nests, corny chat) and video (streaming, short/long videos) need our attention, glad to see people working on them. I'd also love to see efforts for creating gated (by payment or invitation) communities for learning, chatting about certain topics, and enabling more monetization models for creators.


:Heart:


Agree, I was subnoting you. I feel like Highlighter + Habla are converging and we should form a team 🤝


Nostr .create focusing on just highlighted the other stuff for content creators. I've been saying this for a while, imho nostr is a content creators business in a box. It's just not obvious because the only thing people apparently see when the first come to nostr is "oh cool, a twitter clone"


Good point and of course is not for everyone, only for those projects that share a similar vision. Habla and Highlighter come to mind.


💯 I share your opinion, let's make it happen!


i suggested this at #nostrasia and got a lot of pushback 😅


Kidding but couldn’t resist 😛

It'd be dope if some of the nostr developers could mentor baby web developers in creating some of these tools via learning communities or something like that


I’m fully focused on the latter: creator tools


not sure if I agreed at the time but I now think you were right! devs are stubborn sometimes 😅


teaming is good approach to like pooling or collective brainpower  but individual ideas also is important in certain times.


::Heart::


Agree, there needs to be a shared vision and values for it to work but I think many projects have that


One app has delayed post. Love that with no info button. One seems to fail to post to multiple relays for me, but warns me with feedback. Another makes posts with images more prominent. Another makes long notes more visible. Some treat zaps and reactions differently. One allows many reactions one just single reaction.

It would be nice if these were combined. Or if the libraries to accomplish some of these services were made available to implement like from some open source library so that people could assemble the client they like. Like a #NostrInnerSource community of devs or something.


hahahaha

oh man, I was thinking I had a very original idea 😅

and yeah, agreed 🤝


I'm up for putting time into such a project. Let's talk!


Are you using NoStrudel yet? the only client living the NIP standard giving you access to almost anything nostr.


have you tried coracle? 🥸


Yes, with limited success on Android

#BTC #Zap⚡#Nostr #FreeJulianAssange


Me? Yes of course and I like the market on there but I don't know any other app than noStrudel who gives you access to notes, communities, streams, blogs, music, emotes, badges etc etc - all in one.


Absolutely! Collaborative efforts can lead to incredible results. DeepOnion is all about teamwork and believe that pooling talents and resources can create something truly exceptional. 🧅


I agree, very hard to find the right partner though, someone who not only wants to work on the same thing with you, but also has the same vision.


I'd be willing to take off my developer hat and put back on my product management hat, to help find and coordinate projects with high level goals in common.


Agree. Lean teams with the right shared ethos, and vision can go further.

I am seeking to help devs more, and take on one or a few #otherstuff projects as a product contributor.

My aim is to help devs by organizing whats broken, what should be built first, and how to make the project sustainable by generating sats flow.


These are rare and very valuable skills for nostr imo, any serious project needs someone like you. In my experience nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac is very good at it (and design) but we devs are too stubborn and anarchic sometimes 😅

This is something in my mind as well for a long time now and shared with nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w yesterday We could create a co-op and look how we can go further with each others help..


This is also true for individual components btw. I design 99% of what I do to fit within one design system (https://www.figma.com/file/1bvslVfr7akG1C6Qo8dgWK?type=design). So from my perspective it looks very silly if Highlighter, Yondar, Nostrocket, Satlantis, etc... all build out their own less polished and less feature-rich version of an extremely similar Group Chat UI (to name the perfect example).


🎯 this, hopefully we can bring that design system to ndk component libraries and all the ecosystem benefits. I was developing my own but I think it's better if I contribute to ndk-svelte-components instead.
