Derek Ross on Nostr: Nostr developers do care and do work hard, putting in a lot of time, effort, and ...
Nostr developers do care and do work hard, putting in a lot of time, effort, and their lives into their applications and projects. For the most part, these applications are being built by small teams of one person or just a couple people in their spare time. It's very different from traditional software applications that we use every day.
Do issues exist with most applications? Yes.
Are developers aware of said issues? Also yes.
Do they have infinite man hours, time, and budgets like large tech companies? No. No, they do not.
Do they still work on improving their applications? Yes. Yes, they do.
Have faith. No developer says hey I want to build a shit application today and piss people off.
The quality of almost all Nostr products is so bad, that it feels malicious at worst, incompetent at best. I don't even know how it's even POSSIBLE, to produce software this bad. They must go to "How to build confusing software that doesn't work" lessons, or something.
Now, you know, why users run away.
Stop asking this question, like you don't know this.
It's obvious. The software is generally really crappy software, and that has nothing to do with the protocol and everything to do with the programmers.
Nobody gives a damn and it shows. Your contempt for your users is obvious and they're like "Right back atcha, buddy."
