In general I think devs on Nostr are cooler than devs of Nostr. Independent projects are more real than anything on here. The success of a Nostr project is determined by its users rather than its code, wheras other software development projects can be successful even without a single other user.

What non-nostr devs on nostr / projects are you thinking of? 🤔
Well most of them probably don't post about their projects or get a lot of attention, so who even knows which users are non-Nostr devs? I'm just saying that any such developer is cooler than the ones who need the attention by default.
