How can i help?

Start small.

An instagram like micro app. Pull in posts from typical photography hastags. Have a dedicated #nostrphotography hastags for all posts from the app.

Looking gorgeous.

Limit text.

Photography contests.

Surface high quality content.

The usual like, comment, zap, block, follow, NSFW filters etc

All this might already exist 😂😂

+1 for blossom integration for distributed storage for the blobs (photos)

Forgive me, I am a bit of a knobhead with these sort of things. I sort of get the photography specific relay which , correct me if wrong, would relay only photography related stuff? So nostriches that connect have more photo content without having to get that through curating their feed on an individual basis. The other ideas seem to me to lay somewhat ‘outside’ of the nostr specific space , like the website and the app, of which there are so many already.

Here are some thoughts...

I'm not sure a relay dedicated to photography would help much. Relay selection is not flexible enough in most clients. It might make sense to have a dedicated relay in combination with an app (or it could use a new KIND for photos are it's own thing on existing relays).

A marketplace for photographers could go into two directions:

- A public stock photography site that sells images (see istockphoto.com)

- A private client gallery where photographers sell photos from photoshoots/weddings, etc. (e.g. https://pixieset.com/ and hundreds more).

For both usecases there are already a plethora of options.

There are a lot of photography communities already - it would be very hard to build a community on a new platform. Ideally we would have a generic nostr based forum software that could be customized to the usecase (e.g. like www.discourse.org, phpBB, ...). Someone should built that first :)

The Instagram type app is something that comes up every so often. The need for a photo focus app let me to build slidestr.net. The thing is, I'm not sure a generic social photo app will gain much traction today.

It worked in the past with Google+ (a lot of photographers joined there), Instagram (fixed square format + filters), 500px / flickr, ... but it needs some clear advantage

over the existing solutions for people to switch.

Today most photography is done on mobile phones, i.e. I think people expect to use a (native) mobile app. All the PWA / web app stuff is to cumbersome for people.

A combination of the community and the app idea, could be a place for photography challenges (e.g. like https://52frames.com/albums/2024/week-42-on-the-ground/challenge ) where people post their work for daily/weekly/monthly challenges or projects regarding a specific topic. This would be a kind of learning community with image galleries.

Super idea!

It could be a good way to get more photographer from legacy social media!

Good luck and keep building!

Love the sound of this mate. I’m not super tech savvy when it comes to setting up relays and stuff but would definitely get behind it, been thinking about how Nostr can support photography communities ✌🏽

Looking to obtain some additional brain power.
