Nostr Web Client

That's interesting to know that nostr was built by bitcoiners, and that explains the prevalence of it. It makes me hopeful that as nostr grows, it would bring in more diversity and hopefully not just attract more of the same.

Yeah #[6] was the original creator of nostr and was building on bitcoin & lightning network beforehand, same with #[7] and many other devs you see building nostr. Here’s a short article that kind of explains it https://fortune.com/crypto/2023/02/21/bitcoiners-flocking-to-nostr-social-network-jack-dorsey-edward-snowden/amp/

And as fiatjaf says in the article, the bitcoin integration is more of an add on feature than an integral part of the protocol.

I joined in December and can tell you that the conversation topics are becoming more diverse week by week as more and more people join

Thanks- just finished reading the article. That's good to know.

I'm still getting oriented with everything, so the more time I spend on here the more I'll get a sense of things.
