I feel like the way #Nostr does apps is superior to how we do it in the #Fediverse.

This isn’t to say that Nostr apps are inherently better. Some Mastodon apps have an incredible amount of polish, and extremely creative features.

Nostr’s standardization on identity and credentials and appended data is really, really good, though. Everything I sign into just works. Whereas, as a Non-Mastodon user with partial MastoAPI support, that isn’t always the case. I often have to cross my fingers and hope it works.

I know, I know, I’m banging on an old drum again. But, I feel like Nostr’s way of doing things is like a sneak peak of what might have been possible with ActivityPub C2S.

We should totally steal these ideas, and turn them into a FEP.

nsec eradicates the most common issue with Fedi sign ups. I still can’t get my head around getting my PeerTube and Masto instances to talk to each other.
