There were technical difficulties, first talk of the day. The workshop was centered on discovery with CI/DevOps engineers on how to automate negative interop checking. As number of nostr apps grows, the complexity and count of interactions grows exponentially.

Negative interoperability is a frustrating experience for the end user: whether its a hardcore nostrich, or a grandma:

“why is my contact list wiped?”

“why cant I follow people?”

“why cant I find this note?”

Positive interoperability is the unique strength of nostr:

“I can just plug in my keys in another app for a new experience”.

“I can sell my art to not just everyone on my app, but everyone on all apps!”

On negative interoperability this is what the github.com/nostrability issue register is today.

I’ve received feedback to track and encourage positive interoperability.
