Nostr Web Client

I guess this sounded like I was complaining, but I actually like sitting at the nerd table and trying to change other people's lives for the better, even if they never notice or care. I don't expect the people at the other tables to even understand what we are doing. If they understood it, they would also be sitting at our table.

I notice. I care. I like building things and then watching other people use them and have better lives because I built it. That's very satisfying. I never wake up and have no reason to get out of bed. And I can grow old gracefully because my self-esteem was never built upon my appearance.

Also, the nerdy table is the one I find the most fun and having fun is an underrated activity.

You folks are doing great. Keep building, and thank you for your service. We humans aren't very good at appreciating the fine things in life, let alone the fine people building the fine things we do appreciate.

Alexandria and GitCitadel are two of the most ambitious projects on Nostr. The results of your hard work may take a while to reach other users, and I fully understand the culture of not rushing things or burying your project under mountains of technical debt just to ship quickly. I respect that, just as I respect the folks doing R&D and exploratory work to demonstrate Nostr’s potential and keep the protocol alive (Or the necessity of "having something NOW" trumping the need to "write it perfectly" like Utxo did with Haven... I have zero regrets about my own messy code that is actually powering 10% of Haven relays and actually decentralising Nostr a bit and I'm glad that Utxo "rushed it" out the door).

I’m 100% looking forward to seeing a “Nostr-enabled” Internet Archive moving petabytes of data . This might end up being the killer app that puts Nostr on the map. And beyond the “Nostr” passion thing, a decentralised Archive.org is something that humanity genuinely needs, and something I’m really looking forward to.

We're getting ready to release an alpha of our first major milestone. It'll be enough for people to experiment with, including writing publications, which is the major feature we haven't supported until now. I'm stoked to see what people start to do with it.
