Nostr Web Client

I’m saying Nostr doesn’t have the qualities we’re actually dreaming of when it comes to communication we can’t censor. This isn’t the bitcoin to crypto.. somehow the alt coin came first. And so maybe usability is simply better at this point. I haven’t seen a single post on Damus that someone couldn’t have posted on Twitter (aside from porn spam which I’m sure we all love). I think Twitter and lighting would just be better. Again, maybe I’m just a hater

But check out https://habla.news/ for example. I think it’ll highlight one of the most powerful things here.

Damus (and other clients) are using the nostr protocol for twitter-like functions, but habla uses it for articles. And there’s other clients too (imagine something like instagram).

Across all these services you can use the same key, the same account. And all the data exists simultaneously across all the relays you publish to.

Agree. There's so much that can be build on an open protocol. Like how interesting was TCP/IP in the first couple years? How about Unix?

It doesn't matter if it's perfectly analogous to a cryptocurrency. But to go that route, one could argue there wasn't a lot of innovation in #Bitcoin or #Ethereum for a couple years; just bug fixes and "so, uh, hay guys".

I don’t think you can compare TCP/IP to Nostr, or bitcoin. They’re just completely different things
