Context: I’ve been basically living under a rock for the past 5 years, eating and breathing work until I got burned out, so I lost track of what happened to the stuff I like and the world in general.

So I was asking… ChatGPT… for alternatives to zer0net, as the project appears to be dead now, and Nostr, despite not being an apples to apples replacement, got listed as number one.

I found the site to be rather beautiful but if you were to ask me to put my pedantic hat on I could list some points of concern I would have regards the UX for an average Joe.

I’m typing this on Nostur, from macOS, I love the fact that it’s not some electron slop, but to be fair I haven’t tried other clients seriously yet.

I forgot about zeronet.

Feel free to be as pedantic as you like :)

I don't have any mac stuf, but im sure nostr:nprofile1qqsfhc97pejd8z3f488vnfwgaawcw0ptlffk9f94trd9la5mc09ms8s0y9649 will be pleased to hear you like it.

Welcome!

Since we are protocol first and hardly any dev gets paid your experience may be lackluster. I'm sure people can point you in the right directions.

Since this is "Notes" "And Other Stuff". Not all clients will have full protocol implementation. You'll find that most "clients" can read the notes, but when it comes to the "And Other Stuff" it depends sort of on how well this fits into the client's perspective.

The client ecosystem seems very extensive though, do you have any specific rough edges in mind?

I used to work a “fuller stack” job (embedded/IoT + backend + frontend) so I can relate to some issues and who knows, fix something? Took me long enough to contribute back to open sauce.

what "site"? does nostr have a site?
