And soon, very soon this idea of an open and permissionless protocol where everyone can participate will transition into an era where everyone can build too. That's very transformative.
There are many reasons to build on Nostr, but to me the main one is the fact that we don't have a central codebase anywhere.

Amethyst, Primal, Coracle, NoStrudel, and Damus and many other apps before and after us are all built from scratch.
No vendor lock in. No centralized dependencies. No core choke point to kill it all together.
True decentralization is hard. But it is worth every penny.
