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?
quotingYou’ve hit the nail on the head. The core issue isn’t just the technology itself but how it’s presented to users. Many creators and their audiences expect platforms to be intuitive and seamless, with a strong focus on UX. Nostr has the potential to deliver this, but it’s clear there’s still work to do in making it user-friendly and attractive enough to draw in larger communities.

The challenge of getting creators to adopt Nostr doesn’t lie in the principles of decentralization or censorship resistance — most creators understand the importance of these. It’s about the tools, the ease of use, and the professional polish that Nostr currently lacks. Until Nostr provides an experience that rivals the closed platforms these creators are accustomed to (especially when those platforms generate significant revenue), it will be difficult to convince them to make the jump.
I agree that investing in UX and community tools is crucial. If Nostr can match or exceed the functionality and ease of use found on other platforms, the value proposition of decentralization and censorship resistance will become much more compelling. In the meantime, I’d love to collaborate on any efforts to address these pain points, whether it’s contributing to design ideas, providing feedback, or helping to spread awareness through content like podcasts.
The potential is there, and I’m excited for the future, but we must be patient and practical in how we get there. Let’s keep building!
