nostr has more to figure out than most as it is starting from a deeper foundation, and is evolving organically and competitively rather than by design.
So we should expect it to take longer to form and longer to iterate to become something broadly compelling.
nostr has no technology limitations and is not short of talented developers, what is missing at the moment is diversity of business models.
nostr has maybe a dozen Twitter clones. Why? Why build the 13th Twitter clone?
There was nostrgram for a while, but really another brand clone. Why?
Stop cloning web2, what’s the point?
It already exists.
“Hey I built Twitter but better, because of [complicated reasons]”… is not compelling.
nostr needs to think a little more profoundly about what the tech actually is, and then lean into that and follow where that truth leads to… it does not lead to Twitter clones!
Discovery does not mean aggregation! Stop and think more deeply. Empower exploration instead of sterilising it, the internet made a bad turn, we can now go back and turn the other way.
Nostr is a permissionless standard for sharing things safely. Safe torrents are now possible, yet people are using nostr to churn out another social feed UI?
Notes are not limited to blobs of text.
Middleman relays are nice, but edge relays are the end game. I can already see that coming over the hill with nostrdb.
Patience and persistence are the only things that nostr needs to have protected whilst it incubates in public.
how is nostr making torrents safer?
It isn’t yet, that’s my point. Nobody is doing it.
But you can sign packets. So any modified stuff would be very easy to detect / prevent.
uncensorable torrent site, adding comments back to piratebay would be big
why build the 13th twitter clone? because none do it rite
Someone should legitimately clone Tweetbot or one of the good twitter apps and make it work with nostr.
Copy what works instead of half assing your own solution.
copying what works should always be the starting point, its why nostr works because @fiatjaf ignored things that didnt work like p2p
there is new things that will work really well however and thats combining other things that work like chat and forum reddit and twitter on the same data set, something nostr was born to do
amethyst wont let me like your note?? @Vitor Pamplona
omg lol it liked lots but didnt show it kek
fucking agree Sick of the twitter shit
imo, the most interesting possibilities for nostr come in the form of non-social media apps. We need more creative ideas than "like <xyz> but more decentralized". The average person doesn't give a shit about centralization.
"the internet made a bad turn, we can now go back and turn the other way."
