Well then if you want to do that, look at Mosaic for ideas too. "I did it my way" 🎶.

If other active developers went and built something like a Nostr 2.0 that wasn't Mosaic, but they at least looked at Mosaic, took what they liked, and had good reasons for not taking the rest, I'd probably be happy to dump Mosaic and go with their thing. But I'm unaware of any other next-gen project in the works. And most of these hard problems are not happening in nostr. I talked to a number of devs about future ideas. The Rostra guy is totally jaded and uninterested. Nuh wants to build on a crypographic filesystem (with pkarr of course).

I'm spending a lot of time in the fiat mines, but I'm still progressing Mosaic stuff. The spec and code are open, and the spec leads, so nobody can think I tried to jump start others. Truth is however that I'm the only person working on it, nobody else who has shown any interest has shown interest in helping to build it. So far at least.

I'm a few months out from having something to demo.

Hey Mike I'm very interested in Mosaic/next-gen nostr and would be happy to help out as much as I can. I'm still getting up to speed on nostr but I'm trying to build a client that has flexible Reddit and Discord style groups with modifiable private/public status that don't use relay-based groups. I was studying the problem of how to build this around NIP-EE and came across your work on NIP-A0 for better multi-device support.

It sounds like the nice UX problems I'm running into with nostr are similar to what led you to start working on Mosaic and it looks awesome so far!
