As an outsider to Nostr development, this is something I’m puzzled by. According to the GitHub page, “[NIPs] should be implemented in at least two clients and one relay — when applicable” before they’re accepted. Yet it seems as though Vitor is the first to implement NIP-94?

Actually, https://filestr.vercel.app/ implemented NIP-94 before Amethyst.

Thank you for the correction. Still, isn’t the order supposed to be implementation in two clients, then acceptance?
Theoretically, yes.
But it doesn't always work like that.
Sometimes a single implementation pushes a NIP acceptance (i.e. Zaps or Repost in Damus), sometimes implementation waits till a NIP merge, even months later!! (I.e. NIP-42 Auth).
Hm. I think the recent unpleasantness could have been avoided if everyone had seen Vitor’s implementation before NIP-94 was accepted. Will would have objected, and there wouldn’t have been consensus to merge the NIP.
Sometimes implementation is important, yes.
But communication is always more important.
