Nostr is for everyone, but Nostriches *love* builders. We love Proof-of-Work. Build your client, build your community, build your content, just build. Everything can flourish here, if you put in the work.

Most of the people I’ve invited to #nostr showed up once and never came back. I realize this is because proof-of-work is at the core of the protocol, and that doesn’t come naturally to the masses. There’s still a world of people who prefer to have their experiences spoon-fed to them by others, and what they would contribute here is questionable anyway. You can’t make others who don’t want to do the work do the work.
I think that as long as the face of nostr is social media clients, it will struggle gaining mass adoption. The job that it does as a social media tool is super valuable and important, but not top of mind for people.
As we build more apps and tools on top of nostr, we’ll have a better chance of new folks sticking around and also getting the opportunity to experience the social side.
To get into the intelligence game requires licensing, buddy.

Loving zap.stream let's take on the streaming market.
nostr is too bit torrent and bitcoin like for masses.
they’ll come when nostr is easy like Spotify, Netflix and twitter..
Where are we at using nostr as auth for apps?

I like this format. I hate that Twitter went to a curated feed model over a “firehose” model

What’s the best way for non-devs to contribute aside from posting or inviting people to the platform?
Ancillary support! Testing new builds, reporting bugs with reproducible details, generally anything that can keep the coders coding.
💯 with Dimi on this.
Filing bug reports is huge!
It’s also easy to do, but there are elements that make them more helpful and useful.
Here is an article I looked over that covers the basics. Most devs on Nostr are super happy to get good, complete bug reports.
