One issue with nostr FOSS development is that there are many lone wolf devs (I'm guilty of this too) and not enough multidisciplinary teams. Single devs are incredibly creative and productive but the team efforts (Damus, Primal) will ship the best products in the long run.

It's often a very big leap for an individual to open up a project to more contributors and a community. They have to change how they do things, how they spend their time, negotiate the best way to do things, etc. Not everyone wants to do that (or has time & energy to). But as you said, it's amazing when projects turn into something bigger and/or better. We need a good mix. Nostr is probably too much on the lone wolf side at the moment (including me with Nosta).
You are right, but onboarding contributors (dev, designers, marketers) raises the quality of the work significantly and keeps you on track. Big fan of Nosta btw, I shill it every chance I get.
Awesome, thank you.
We're on the same page that having contributors & a community is amazing. My point was more about why it often doesn't happen. I've been trying to think of ways recently to help with that process, mostly because I think that a healthy and diverse ecosystem of community-led open-source bitcoin project is necessary for bitcoin to keep its unique properties.
