There is value in here though, that's why I come back but I'm strongly wishing for higher signal, lower noise, healthier interfaces.
Less screen, more information density, more consideration of the context (i.e. what is my mood, what am I looking for, how much time I got,...) and new ways of discovering content.
LLMs and VUIs will somehow help us improve the situation.

Picking up a friend from a gym. Just a regular average gym.
Man, what a shithole. Artificial lighting, smell of synthetic materials, bad music and full of autistic people.
Gyms are so overrated.
Working out and playing sports outdoors is the way.
Creatively use the weight of your body for training. Expose yourself to the elements. Feel the sun, the wind, the rain. Touch grass. Play.

Leaving @nprofile…prv3
After almost 8 months from the conception of the idea, to meeting @nprofile…6rpa in Riga, brainstorming the product, and putting a lot of effort to launch... it's time to go.
While Pip was always the brains behind the algos, crawler and a #golang wizard, my involvement still required energy that was being taken away from other places.
So I'm back to focusing 110% on @nprofile…tdq0.
I'm very proud of what we built (including my baby npub.world). Vertex really works, it's well-designed, fast, reliable, interoperable and will be elemental in an open protocol where separating signal vs noise is a must.
All the best moving forward my friend @nprofile…6rpa 🫂! For those who don't know him, one of the best developers in nostr, hands down.

Google maintains the pub.dev main Dart package registry.
Over the past few weeks its API has been intemittently failing.
This means any "pub get" command also fails, which is a bottleneck in any workflow.
I am focused on end-user app/package marketplaces but language-specific package managers also are ripe to be nostrified.

Ok, I see, and agree with openness and interoperability. What i'm saying is we need applications to translate those attributes into benefits users perceive and relate to.

Appealing to people who empathize with the nostr idealistic vision (or appreciate it as a system with network effect) means getting stuck in the early adopter phase forever. You can't expect growth from there.
Nostr means nothing without applications built on it, and people use applications when they find them useful, it solves a problem for them. It's only apps that bring people. I give a lot of credit to SaaS platforms that grow because they solve a problem, though they might be fixing some inherently fiat problem and/or creating new ones along the way.
If 0.01% of the population cares about censorship resistance, that is the adoption ceiling.
As for communities, I mean a forum. The most basic community building block. To give an example of problems; you can't view reddit content when signed out or with a VPN. X is also limited. Discord same. Creating accounts is a pain many people agree on. Nostr can help fix that.
Nostr has a lot more interesting value props than censorship resistance that applications can leverage to alleviate people's actual, real problems. Applications should focus on those.
Re: Zapstore, thank you for your words! Appreciate it and I promise you it will get so much better still.

2025-03-25 14:55:46

- reply

This is a bit exaggerated, but if I had to find a reason it is: lack of great tools for communities.
Nostr today has only one real great UX and value prop: a Twitter replacement.
We need multiple forms of onramps not just one. Onramping new people also means solving their problems, not our imaginary ones.
Not saying communities is easy or wasn't attempted by smart devs but it's reality.

Agree that some compute needs to be done server side, the advantage of doing it locally is privacy. Maybe you don't want to advertise which books/articles you're reading, or doing it 100% offline.
And while some DVMs may offer past computations for free I would not take it for granted.

I once thought about building something like it.
I would make it native apps, personal notes is very private and the browser is too general.
Nostr could be an extra optional layer to share thoughts, gather bookmarks etc. Maybe as a separate internet-connected tool, as i personally don't give internet access to note taking apps.

Thanks. By architectures you mean specs? Seems like we'll have several coexisting then.
Moderating by content seems like insanity. Users should still be able to mute.
I would use WoT (Personalized Pagerank of the admins) and also kick out users who misbehave (could be whitelisting as I do rn). Whether at relay or event level, not sure. I am definitely tempted to give it a shot - make up a kind and let's go.
Lastly, I saw the groups on Coracle, and I dislike the "item is content" UX (I know its the spec not you.)
There should be a required plain text title to summarize. This is how Reddit/forums work. This is how stacker.news works and why so many people love these sites.

How come 3 years into nostr we don't even have a single shitty Reddit/forum clone?
I never got to understand the low level stuff of "communities" but guys - aren't we overthinking and overengineering this?
I mean Reddit. Forum. Stack overflow. Hacker news. Stacker.news.
A basic title and a markdown body upon opening it. Replies/zaps to those items. We have WoT tools, we have blacklists on relays. What else is possibly needed?
NOT chat or Discord. NOT a feed where main content is listed (what i see on Amethyst/satellite). Totally different UX.
