Which is kind of where nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft 's highlighter.com comes into play, but that would involve jumping to a different client for that post.
Discussion
we need to make jumping through apps seamless or superapps win and nostr is fucked
I think we need to redefine our conception of what is “an app”. Maybe Nostr is the super app and micro-apps/app-fragments can be orchestrated within a single iOS/Android “app” experience.
discussed this with #[8] a bit on a podcast… will publish it tomorrow
Interoperable and seamless nostr app ecosystem would be better than any monolithic super app. We’ve got interoperability (for the most part), but discovery and seamless app launching would make the interoperability more valuable to users.
Oh yeah, I’m not suggesting a monolithic super app. Nostr the protocol is the replacement of the super app concept and it’s open/public-domain and doesn’t specify a specific “app” implementation.
iOS/Android apps can be built to allow people to login/orchestrate various experiences, but those experiences themselves should be composeable/portable across “app” experiences, imo.
When the web browser emerged it was like an orchestrating app for experiences on the web. None of the web experiences natively ran on Windows or MacOS, but they ran natively in the browser. Browsers had to be written in native Windows or MacOS to bridge to the web/protocol experiences.
nostr:npub1ch8a4xxsru2jkdynmx27a4xdknv72k5h8yjld702y3mf5k3puauqmszh48, someone is calling for the Keistr vision here: https://i.imgur.com/1YTUHA7.mp4
is that a video? isn’t playing for me
Seems to me there must be a way – along with that event kind discovery NIP – to make it easy to deep link into each others apps.
Imagine dynamic link creation when rendering notes to generate zapster:note1... or hightlighter:naddr1... or listr:npub1... type links.
Might require users to specify their preferred apps in their metadata but it's not impossible... 🤔
There is https://nostrapp.link/ by nostr.band which acts as web based app switcher. Even works with listr.lol already. It's a first step in that direction.
How can we make it easier for websites to add “sign in with nostr” buttons? I haven’t been able to implement NIP-07 logins. Seems like a good starting point
#[8] is on route here, but there’s a lot of work ahead for all of us.
Theres a place in the space for superapps though. Just in terms of user experience, would you rather have 6 apps taking space on your device or 1 that handles it all? Even if the six are done better for their niches, the one will enjoy a larger userbase.
6 will likely take less space than 1 if they are built by minimalist developers.
Yeah, 100% six apps and it’s not even close.
1 app is fiat/legacy thinking
Funny how thinking has become such a popular thing, special case when it comes down to the fact.
🤩
Well…maybe. I do think folks will chase experience. And perhaps will “onboard” with an app that is trying to do “too many” thing on the Nostr protocol.
When I speak Spanish I am still thinking in English. I takes a bit to internalize the differences between a platform and a protocol.
And yes I am indicting myself as well.
Broo yes this is the solution, galaxy brain idea there. Who needs threads if you can slice and dice long-form content and show conversations inline?
If only Pablo hosted a proxy himself and not relied on some free CORS proxy that is always down!
