Oddbean new post about login | logout The thing that most interests me about nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyfehcpn building a Nostr client (as a thought experiment, I'm not saying he is) is that it's unlikely to be a toy like so many are. There's some great work going on for sure, but most of it feels like someone's toy that's okay to break and be in a constant state of beta or worse. I often find myself craving a mature client that just works and doesn't shove something new in my face every week that I have to figure out and adjust to just in time for it to happen again. I'm excited about Damus coming to Android (I have no idea if it's closer to my ideal client or not). I don't need "feature" after feature packed on top when the basic things still have bugs. Everyone has different values. I just don't value what the major clients seem to be aiming for (I can't really tell what that is yet, and maybe that's good for them). Jack has proven already that he can build a reliable and familiar UX. I can't think of a more qualified person in the Nostr space right now. His experience and wisdom has to be overwhelming. Peace.
You are right. Some ways nostr folks can help: -provide concise feedback on github to devs on what is wrong, and what you expect to happen -become a dev supporter, so that they can sustain their path to improving on VC funded BigCo user experience -contribute code if you are a dev! In general nostr dev access is unparalleled. To help with your expectation, keep in mind BigCos have paved a lot of the way on UI, UX at a price tag of billions, whereas most nostr app devs are unfunded, part-time lone wolf devs. Looking forward to Jack leading Twitter for the third time, and converting to a nostr app and relay.
