When it comes to the technical side, private DMs and private groups are something we really should get in place. I am excited to see what  @JeffG is working on in that regard.

Key management for organizations and businesses is another piece I would like to see solutions for. NsecBunker is getting there, but is not a default option in any client I am aware of.

Nostr has struggled with discoverability issues as well. Back in late 2022 and early '23, I would just hop into Global and find interesting people to follow there. Not the case anymore on the vast majority of clients. The exception to this is #Coracle, since  @hodlbod's implementation of web-of-trust has allowed the vast majority of spam and unsavory content to be filtered out.

For something to promote about Nostr that can make it something people are running to rather than running from, I think we need more buy-in from developers of apps that are NOT twitter clones, but can include a social aspect to them, and thus can benefit from the built-in network effect of integrating Nostr.

In this regard, I am thrilled with what  @fountain_app is doing to integrate Nostr, and especially the filtered feed that displays only notes with audio content, and it doesn't matter if this content is native to Fountain, or is on Spotify, or any other podcasting protocol, or on  @wavlake. You can just interact with it as you would expect from any podcast app.

I would love to see something similar, but for video content. An app with a feed that only shows you notes that your follows have shared with videos in them, regardless of where those videos are hosted, and you can play them within that app, rather than having to go to YouTube or Rumble, or wherever else they are hosted. This may be a tougher ask, and I think flare.pub was headed in this direction, but I haven't seen much movement there.

We have also seen similar Nostr integration in wallet apps, such as  @OpenSecret,  @Minibits, and  @eNuts ⚡️🌰. It makes their apps instantly more useful than a standard lightning or eCash wallet that you have to add all your contacts manually, if there's any option to add contacts at all.

In short, I don't think the answer is so much about leaning hard into a niche community, the way BlueSky did, as it is about getting a few of the technical things in place that are still missing, and then adding Nostr to ALL THE THINGS. Nostr is a protocol that can underpin an entire ecosystem of other stuff, and that is what has me most bullish on Nostr.
