Some problems I see with nostr that I know how to solve but takes forever without more devs:
- data portability for media like we have for notes (blossom and Merkle trees) being supported by a relay with full text search
- automated porn filtering
- paid relays with subscription tiers
- missing notes when users aren’t on the same relays (notes fail to load)
- natural language feed algorithms
- relay syncing based on social graph rather than blinding syncing with all relays
The team is working on all these currently. It’s a heavy and slow burden to carry though. But with these solved, I think the chances for nostr rise greatly. It’ll barely even be nostr anymore honestly, beyond the JSONs — it’s something much better.
BlueSky took years for the “moment” of necessity to come. Same case for nostr, but we must be ready with these things done when that moment happens.
