I’m very excited about nostr because of the things we have not built yet, but are definitely coming because once you see them it’s hard not to try to make it happen.

What I’m most excited about:

1. Multi-media apps on nostr. One I cannot stop thinking about is Zapstr (but re-focused on music only, with a simplified interface). Ok, this one already sort of exists, but the potential is huge IMO and has not even been touched.
2. Adult industry clients. Even if you disagree with them, I think there’s so much potential in zap-to-unlock content, and clients designed specifically for that media consumption experience.
3. Non-adult media consumption - apps that allow you to scroll and consume content quickly. We have an app like that already (forget the name) which has a ton of potential if fully refined.
4. “Deck” clients - https://snort.social/deck these will need a lot of work to make them feel snappy fast, but once there I think we can do so much in terms of the content that can be added into various columns. Lume is also heading in the right direction IMO.
5. Simple music players that can be integrated into any client. I cannot stop thinking about a global jukebox or zap-to-play.
6. Easy multi-account switching. Some clients already have this but it’s not as fast as it could be. I think having multiple personas may help content creation on Nostr. I would like to push clients to make npub switching as easy as possible.
7. Nostr widgets - any cool use case such as ecash designed into great looking widgets that are easily carried over into clients.
8. Better notifications - automated stream alerts, automated nests reminders
9. AI tool integrations such as automated nests transcripts, stream transcripts.
10. Video uploading (think YouTube). I think this could grow nostr tremendously when we can link people to content shared on a nostr video client instead of YouTube
11. Better Long-form content consumption within social clients. I think at least a few clients have the designs already but it hasn’t been developed much.
12. Better sharing mechanisms, built in sharing buttons, anything to get the word out to other platforms.
13. Highlighted media (text, audio) within clients that can support that. Highlights from articles, from friends, bookmarked / shareable highlights page (think your personal book shelf but for highlights, and you can share it with anyone).
14. Zap-splitting tracks, playlists.
15. Real time sat streaming while playing music or podcasts
16. Better communities. Reddit is cool, but I think we can do much better. I feel that this space has so much potential that we are just not exploring yet.
17. Niche use cases nobody is thinking about like Stargazr (lyrics interpretation client).
18. Traditional app integrations with nostr apps. This is a big one that I haven not heard anyone talk about yet. What makes Slack powerful is not that it works as a chat app - but the integrations they’ve built in over time. Nostr can do the same if we forgo the “nostr only” mentality and start integrating with other apps. This also gives us a marketing channel within those vendor integration pages, announcements / tweets.
19. SEO - don’t see anyone thinking about SEO or so it seems. HUGE area of opportunity that requires some thinking and applying.

I’m probably forgetting a lot of things and not anticipating other awesome ideas. There’s so much to build! We may not have a million active users, but the possibilities for new types of interactions are endless. No other protocol or app can match it.
