Who’s spearheading the nostr UX development?
Are there any grants focusing on this?
Are we already at the point from a technical perspective or is all what we’re talking about coming naturally and this is just sooo early?

Uncomfortable Nostr Reality check:
I've tried to Nostr-pill all my YouTube friends (some of them have incredible amounts of subs), but none of them care about the censorship resistance or decentralization. Even though they know Nostr exists, they have no incentive yet to come here. Their audience would follow them anywhere, but they need the tools to create community communications.
It's a sad reality, but it all comes down to usability, UX, and ultimately the easiness of paying and signing up for the community. None of these can afford to have a sign-up problem or issues with someone being interested in joining the community/their platform. It needs to work flawlessly and feel and look professional. Some of them charge $3-5k a year just to get access to this closed space, and people are willing to pay for this.
Another big pain point is community management. All of these YouTubers create these platforms to help their audience have a safe place to communicate with each other and build their own tribe.
Nostr is capable of facilitating all of this - we're just not there yet. We need to somehow invest so much more into UX and design.
All of this will come when the time is due. So, knowing that all of this is possible and that ultimately, Nostr will be powering most of these via the social graph, is what makes me extremely bullish. But also, let's not get ahead of ourselves and expect them to come already.
The UX and features are not there yet for these people. I am more than happy to help anybody trying to make this a reality. I want nothing more than having these people join Nostr. But I also totally understand their pain points. So, if you're a dev or a company working on this, please feel free to reach out - I can tell you all the issues they told me. Or just tell me how to best do this; maybe I can jump on a podcast so the issues are open-sourced for the whole community to hear.

YouTubers don’t build their communities on YouTube they build an audience which they then concert to communities on sites like skool, discord etc.
There they build different incentives to people to join - masterminds - workshops whatever. This is where the value for their viewers lie and why they are okay with paying so much. The ytber provides free value on yt and then really juicy value lies in the communities.
Ad revs aren’t even the big driver of all of this.
I opened Instagram and got a BIG NOTIFICATION that @jb55 posted on Threads that “#nostr is the real decentralized and censorship resistant social media”
Love to see the legacy platforms joining the nostr marketing team 😂

Creating is extremely hard. Criticizing is extremely easy.
What worked best for me was learning to disconnect the work from my personality. It hurts when you identify too much with what you create. But if you can see it from a distance, you might even thank the person criticizing—it helps you make something better next time.
I also remind myself: imagine if your best work was already behind you? The beauty of creating is knowing the best is always yet to come. Detach from ego, embrace feedback, and let every creation push you closer to that future masterpiece. nostr:note1y7pahcvdn4u2k2kh5yeyd49x0t6jc25pxe4dqxp9wuvewwahed7qukpa23
Love seeing all the different reasons people are using #nostr.
Nostr isn’t just about free speech—it goes way beyond that. That’s what’s so exciting.
It's about freedom in every sense. Freedom to speak, build, create — total freedom 🤝 nostr:note1l2gmkcekha7m5te4qx0yt6ttyc06060phxq7mfagmwa4429yel2qhc5d4x
My favourite hacks to make the body more metabolically efficient:
- Lifting weights
- Walk after every meal
- Eliminate snacking entirely
- Sunlight in eyes upon waking up
- Base quality of foods in bioavailability (steaks)
- no screens before sleeping (or blue light blockers)
- And of course gotta stack those sats and post nostr notes 🫡
