Is there a DEV that wants to work on Nostr but doesn’t know what build ?
Ping me, let’s do a client for content discovery.
Even if the curation for the discovery would have to be done manually we need a separate simple place for without waiting for big daddy clients to implement something.
I have extensive graphic design, branding and marketing expertise and minimal coding skills.
#asknostr I will shamelessly repost this daily
This!
Say no to tyrannical censorship from Amethyst and Iris clients with their social credit score censorship!
What? Every client is free to implement whatever they seem fitting. Thats the point of Nostr
Tell me more 😁
I've been considering doing something with nostr. I'd be open to discussing possibilities.
nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz this is why I am asking
nostr:npub12r0yjt8723ey2r035qtklhmdj90f0j6an7xnan8005jl7z5gw80qat9qrx what do you think? 💭
A client for content discovery would be awesome.
I’m shooting from the hip here but what you said about manually doing some content curation could be a good start. It could be as easy as creating a relay and only publishing the hand picked notes to that relay. Maybe not I’m just thinking out loud while I type!
If you have a dev fren just tell them to start building and learning how to interact with relays over web sockets.
I’m down to jump on a call and brainstorm
Let me know when!
Cool ! I’m gonna give it a week or two to see if I can get someone to commit to coding and do basic wireframe. and than will ask you for a call. 🤗
I'm not a developer but I wonder what's missing? What clients are you using and what are you looking for?
The outlines are in the comments already. I regularly try all new clients. Mostly using primal on mobile but leaning more towards yakihonne lately
Content discovery is crucial but I have found the deeper issue is relay discovery. It's easy to think of it this way- you must know where content is located in order to search for it. I think the ecosystem as a whole is still levelling up in this regard. Basically all clients are still perfecting the relay discovery aspects. Some devs can focus on interesting methods of content discovery, but those are mostly "big daddy clients" like you said.
For small clients, it's more of a nightmare. Jumble.social is a good example of a new desktop/web client that is doing relay management right. But it's new- so relay discovery and content discovery are both basically non-existent.
I think your skills would be best dedicated to working with someone (like me, actually) who is driven to increase awareness of the development ecosystem around Nostr. There are lots of hurdles for people to learn if they want to build objectively "good" clients.
This is all to say, content discovery is actually kind of difficult right now. But I think clients who put relay management and discovery on the forefront are making the most headway.
Unfortunately I don't believe this is very representative of iOS clients. NoteDeck will likely do it right, but no telling when.
Flotilla for Android is finally breaching new heights for this ecosystem. But, there is not too many examples that I can give. Amethyst and Flotilla are peak Nostr imo. If I had an iPhone I would cry.
You see, I‘m a designer, not a dev. So even though I understand what you just said on the high level I don’t have an idea how to „make a client that does relays right“
Please describe how do you think we should work together.
Can be a DM too
