Nostr, what are some lesser known or less popular apps or websites that you use, that have some social aspects to them, that you'd like to see rebuilt upon Nostr?
For example: Untappd. This app could be rebuilt on Nostr. Badges, location, comments, DMs, events, etc.
Thanks!
(Yes, I'm going to email and contact all of them. I have a cold email pitch that I wrote yesterday that is just about finalized.)
thingiverse
Hmm. This is a good one. They could add login and profile at least, that would be an easy start.
Facebook 😂

Semi seriously,
Back in the day we hosted friendsreunited:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_Reunited
Which was like:
https://www.classmates.com/
I went to school with one of the two founders and became friends with both of the founders.
I miss the UK site and the US site might benefit from a makeover.
I could make direct, personal contact to the UK founders.
I remember it. Was sold to ITV if I recall and then failed…
Yep, Jason Porter and Steve Pankhurst were attempting to resurrect it by buying back for £1 from DC Thompson.
I put them in touch with Michael Birch who had bought Bebo back for a $1 a year earlier.
(I knew Michael's brother Paul from Adam Street Club in London, where he was the entrepreneur in residence.)
Both the Bebo and Friendsreunuted buybacks failed to spawn anything useful.
Also, semi seriously Facebook.
No, I don't think you should email Mark Zuckerberg.
But think about being self sovereign of your life story content. Photo's video's, messages, blogs, commentaries.
Imagine your lives digital content sitting on your own relay, protected by your own keys and you deciding directly who has access to this.
You may encrypt some stuff, you may share other stuff.
You decide.
Pinterest
Sure. Let's think smaller though.
Oh uhmmm I like the boards aspect of it. The feed is organized like pins on a cork board. Users can organize their feed into personalized sections and have everything laid out on a grid.
It’s the only app that’s social-ly that I use besides Damus.
Have you tried pinstr.app before? It's not exactly like Pinterest, but similar.
No, but I’ll look into it!! Is it IOS compatible?
Every application within nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq5xamn8ghj7dnvv45xs7tywde8g6rpvakkjuekw46nvar4vdhxgan6wumkxatzwpckk6rk0puhjdm2da5k7ce5x4kkkumjx3jkzepwdahxjmmwqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvmckqw0xz should be petitioned to add nostr login. Or devs just need to build it and PR into stuff like nextcloud
There was a website comment NOSTR implementation that I thought might get some traction with challenging all those shitty Wordpress plugins etc.
Untappd would be great, particularly if I (we) could import/transfer what I have there.
https://en.actionbound.com/ it is to make scavenger hunts... you award points for answering correctly and finding the clues. Would be cool if it is for sats.
Wallabag.
A "read it later" looks simple to implement. But i dont know if the lists could be set as public and private.
Never heard of it. Will check it out.
I don't know if they're really lesser known, but PictureMushroom, LeafSnap & AllTrails, would all be so neat with nostr integration. Maybe there's some lesser known versions that would be willing? Also Scout To Hunt... they're very obviously bitcoiners lol
alltrails can get fucked with their subscription
just integrate zaps with OSM or Organic Maps. Add a add hiking trail fxn
Waze
That one would almost certainly need a rewrite since Google owns them, but could you imagine the "zap all the people who's reports were helpful in navigating this drive?" prompt at the end of a drive?
Not sure if this would count as an app or website, but I would love a Nostr equivalent of Outschool or other homeschooling/extended education programs.
I'd like to see a "forum" app - so member with a particular interest post, others respond, and that forum is "searchable" and "browseable" for answers...
We've got a lot of that already in Nostr, but making it easier (somehow)--and perhaps with moderators of some kind...
I was thinking about Strava on nostr the other day.
IMDB.
It will make even more sense when we have actors on nostr.
I know we have #fountain but I will never stop using #podcastadict . It's just too customizable and feature rich and no other podcast app can offer me that. It's not for everyone but someone like me who likes customisation it's perfect.

I'm not expecting complete rebuild but just a tiny feature like posting on Nostr automaticly podcasts we've listened or review.
NewPipe. Perhaps a separate tab from the original comments one.
Just encountered another one, theknot.com
Have you already pushed the send btn 😄
I just stumbled upon one service that needs Nostr for sure. You know these #marketing giveaway where you need to share their giveaway or tasks, on as much socials as you can to get more entry points...

One recent [example](https://gleam.io/JMvCi/creality-cloud-ultimate-giveaway) from #creality
Look at the bottom how many options they have to log in. Nostr is not one of them.
