It feels the message is more aimed at the content producers community more than the devs. The tools are being built, what will they be used for?
Discussion
The content is a product of who the audience on the platform is. Content fits the market not the other way around.
What we are missing just now is fullscreen video, screen sharing, speaker/mic sharing, automated content generation, integrated money and the gamification of all these things.
Maybe we are just super early and all this things will be bootstrapped out of current things?
But nostr is mostly being used to build Twitter clones, and whilst this has some value none of Twitters replicas will eat it. It’s a sideways move for 90% of users, one chat UX to another chat UX.
The biggest problem for Twitter type platform is that nobody buys stuff there, so it just has a lot less commerce and a much smaller economy.
People buy stuff in an audiovideo UX, people buy stuff in shared spaces, people buy stuff when it’s easy.
The next big social platform might be built on nostr, or it might not, but it will probably be based on fullscreen video. You don’t see 13 year olds swiping text, it feels like school to them.
They crowd to loud bright things that move fast, there’s a big non-verbal bit rate in UX that we are missing.
If nostr or a monolithic nostr client can hook the generation after TikTok then you will have #btc adoption by default. No way it happens with horizontal migration any time soon, likely to only see it in our lifetimes if it surfs demographics.
There’s now a way to do that.
There wasn’t before.
Maybe video meets AI 🤔
Yes, I think video to LLM and LLM to video a likely core tech of whatever we are all using in latter half of 2020’s (equally I could be wrong!).
We should be thinking about what that means for UX and then how to implement that.
There likely won’t be any more catwalk models or film stars in 5 years. Pretty much the only non-AI mastered content left will be live sports.
As a community we should be able to make directionally good judgements and plan accordingly.
I agree. But, in my point of views content creators (at least some of them) are waiting to see how content distribution will be organized and monetized on Nostr. Custom NIPs need to drafted, discussed and implemented.
Only then devs can tackle clients that are better adapted to serve this needs. This first layer let’s say serves mainly for communication to organize the whole chabang. The twitter like experience is the Trojan horse. I know devs that are waiting for the NIPs and the relays that support them.
The beauty of Nostr is that UX is a separate market, but UX also needs to understand how to monetize its work.
I am in favor of rewarding the entire distributions chain (creators, relays, clients and even plebs), but you need custom NIPs for that.
A note I had dropped on the subject. It might sound messy. But I am in favor of granting the maximum amount of freedom to all players involved in the interest of letting a sane competition run the market and guide us towards new models.

The Nostr application that welcomes the new generation of children should not be a copy of TikTok, but needs innovation at the bottom of the product. There are still many imperfections in the current Nostr protocol, and the capital investment and operation methods required to create a super application are not supported by the current Nostr protocol.
Making up fake protocols to justify the false narrative and thieving doesn’t really make a justified argument, does it?
I’m not advocating anyone copy TikTok, that would eventually lead to the same dead end.
Need to consider what comes after TikTok and build that. Or maybe build the thing after that if it’s going to take 8-10 years.
Agreed. Need to look to the future. Right now Nostr is in its early days and is still being combed out and refined.
