Subnostr

I sometimes wonder if devs are even listening to what an average user would want.

Too many are focused on fun trinkets and sites/apps that I have no idea what it even means. Not to mention the culture many people are faced with: 8000 or so active daily users, many of which can be hostile, and focused on nerd talk or right wing fantasies.

Nostr is great because of its ability to be censorship resistant, decentralized relays, and no CEO. That’s cool AF. I got my npub on December 24, 2022 and I plan on sticking around, but we can do better. This shit can still die real fast. nostr:note14vv6dnnjx0uusrvhdl9yp33ft286dgamrz94rrtqsv5uddlz5a5suv2klc

Had a few of thede typical dev reactions last month as well.

The normal new user can't even use their zpp or site, onboarding is z disaster usually. And when you explzin + bug report something they act like its' normal or the users' fault for being 'stupid'.

If basic Login is not working, your product is garbage... they don't get it.

There's a lot of work to be done, but the improvements over the last 24 months are incredible. If you want things to accelerate or to take a different direction, then find your own way to contribute towards that.

Developers are sacraficing their income to work on nostr as a passion project, if you are very nice, and make a solid effort to carefully articulate the problems you encounter or visually express the improvements you want to see, then it will usually be taken seriously and dealt with at some point.

If you want to be heared, proof of work is key. Don't ask what nostr can do for you, ask what you can do for nostr.
