Nostr Needs More Builders, Not Just Users
There’s a strange pattern in every protocol’s early days. First the curious arrive. Then the speculators. Then the sheep. But Nostr is different. It wasn’t built for the sheep — it was built by rebels for rebels. And now that we’re here, we can’t just consume. We must build.
Nostr is raw and beautiful. But it’s still too fragmented. Too many apps are built in silos, with no shared libraries, no open design principles, no collective documentation efforts. Most clients reinvent the wheel. That’s a waste of energy.
We don’t need a thousand different clients doing the same thing. We need tooling, infrastructure, and frameworks that others can build upon. We need developer bridges — not more walls.
If you can code, contribute.
If you can design, make it beautiful.
If you can write, document.
If you can test, break stuff and report it.
If you can organize, bring people together.
If you can dream, propose something wild.
This isn’t a playground. It’s a battlefield for sovereignty. Let’s stop waiting for perfection and start building the future — one repo, one pull request, one protocol extension at a time.
Build for the network. Build for each other.
