With Swiper (https://swiperjs.com/) I'm building a presentation with slides to be displayed at the #FOSDEM Nostr booth. Each slide will contain a short text / payoff saying something about Nostr. The goal is that visitors can watch these slides and get a first impression what Nostr is.

WOuld love to hear your thoughts on this!

At this moment, I've included a lot of slides with these contents / texts:

It's a protocol, not a platform

Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

Foster freedom and social cohesion

A libre protocol for communication using WebSockets

Key signed events with data (JSON),

broadcasted between clients and relays

Not a crypto, blockchain or web3 project

A grassroots project

started in november 2019 by Fiatjaf

Easy to implement,

simplicity is key

You are free to build anything,

but also embrace the chaos ;-)

The database for your local-first application

Rich development ecosystem with many libraries and SDKs

It's serving the freedom of choice

Not perfect and it will never be

Worse is better (Richard P. Gabriel 1989)

Stop studying protocols,

just start building

A movement endorsing digital autonomy

Use and build social media for friends,

not for billionaires

The protocol is the API,

the API is on the protocol level

Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden loves it

#freedomtech

A local-first internet identity

The most open network with digital signed and verifiable data
