ah right… I am blessed (cursed?) with the knowledge about how all this works at every layer of the stack, and think deeply about how implementations of these protocols lead to different outcomes. I see nostr as the outcome that leads to the most freedom for individuals, perhaps thats why its clearer to me as to why this is the proper solution. education is the key i guess.

It becomes an issue when you want to do more ambitious things. Current clients are memory constrained. Not needing to worry about memory and letting the OS page things in/out for any size db when doing algo queries and other types of local processing is quite nice.
Local first also enables lots of use cases, like using the app offline and having everything resync with negentropy when you’re back online. Also fast local fulltext search for privacy, p2p and local network syncing…
The local algo thing is cool because the wasm algo api can have full query capability assuming the presence of a local db as an api, so local algos will be much faster. Coding everything to an in-process local relay enables lots more use cases and increases reliability in the presence of rogue relays in the outbox model… i need to write this up 😅

nostr will have the best tech and the most devs, people won’t be able to ignore that for long. other clients on other protocols will run into heavy handed moderation issues due to centralization of power, government pressure, and lack of user keys. This is the main risk I see for mastodon, bluesky and big tech, regardless of current user numbers.
As long as people care about freedom and building a sovereign presence in cyberspace, nostr is inevitable.
It’s possible most people don’t actually care about these things, but at least we’ll have the best solution for people who do. Those people are the coolest to hang out with anyways.

its an optimized, memory aligned binary format, with full local query capability, virtual memory mapped so you can page in gigabytes to terabytes of notes, with no synchronization or serialization required in/out, with an early exit json parser on duplicate notes for max performance. but yeah… “simple cache”

Trump enforcing neutrality on section 230 is going to be very interesting, because it would force platforms to not censor people for political reasons, otherwise they could be labeled as non-neutral.
So many centralized platforms depend on 230 to even exist.
There is still the issue of takedown requests from other countries, i wonder how that would interact with a neutrality clause in section 230.
It’s nice that there is some effort in law to reduce censorship, but it’s much cleaner to just enforce it in the design of a protocol itself. Don’t have to worry about the day to day changes in law and corruption.
Maybe nostr becomes even less relevant for the majority of people if our censorship resistance story isn’t as enticing. we should probably lean in hard to note verifiability and app interoperability. These were always the best sells anyways. #note1akx…xe5e

yes there are many things, we had an hour long meeting about it and identified like 5+ pain points that we are going to be working on.
Biggest one is cold-start cache and having no profiles to search for. We're going to look into a profile precache of all of the users on the network. Should be pretty small and should work well until we get much larger.
Another one is the QR code experience, damus QR code scanning is janky and downright broken at times. We were looking into ways to load more profile data through the nprofile, even without and internet connection.
Profile picture and banner optimization, a lot of profile data fails to load on bad connections because things are not optimized across the board.
Onboarding checklist to guide users to set up missing things.
Lots more
