 Hi, I’m interested in developing a network with nostr

#introductions 
 I literally joined a few minutes ago and I would like to use nostr in my own “social network” concept/app that I’m working on. I was going to use xmtp.net for messages relay, but it seems to be closed source and the nodes are pretty centralized, and a friend mentioned nostr. The app I’m developing attempts to create a new contacts-experience that lets you find a contact and then see what social networks they are on. It puts privacy and decentralization as higher values so nostr seems to be aligned with my vision ideologically and technically. I’d like to use if for among others, contacts exchange, messaging, and game play. I’m here to find out more about its capabilities. This is my first interaction on nostr. Nice to nostr with you @jack  ;) ps. Nice podcast with Morrison. Thanks for the link :)
