Nostr

nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 is right. Nostr still needs a lot of work. We're not done building nostr's social features yet. There's a lot of work to be done with UI/UX, content discovery, user discovery, and everything that's a quality of life enhancement.

I keep saying we'll get there and I believe we will, but we do need more designers on nostr and contributing to nostr's clients to make this happen in some sort of timely fashion. Maybe it boils down to funding? Maybe client developers that are getting grants from OpenSats should start looking into additional funding for hiring designers?

man i wish i knew how to code and design, shout-out to all the incredible people who take so much time to make nostr better for us.

We all build in our own ways, Roya.🫂

I know basic HTML CSS and Javascript , and I mean basic , is that any good?

Derek Ross 2y ago

Well, if you upgrade that a little bit, you'd be essentially a react developer. You're probably in my boat. I know enough to do basic stuff that you mentioned and get by there, but not enough to do anything overly useful. We need to upgrade our skills and build on what we already know.

Nostriches helping Nostriches. Good to foster a climate of mentoring and helping each other upgrade skills. Seen a lot more black-box services which are usually the first sign that funding is not there. So people start down path of traditional revenue streams. V4V is great but won't break even at this point.

Why don’t they get their hand dirty like anyone else? Cause they are designers?

Gotta orange pill those UX’ers who get seduced by Big Tech. They’re graduating from human factors programs and making bank designing Elon’s car doors.

Looking from the outside, I think that traditionally it's been harder for a designer to get onboarded on the open source project than it is for a dev.

Good path might be in making it, and the understanding of the problems we're trying to solve more accessible.

CitizenPleb 2y ago

Good point. That makes sense.

Agree. There are a lot of us with good ideas, talents and work ethic that are grinding hard to get web5/FOSS/bitcoin/nostr adoption and development as far as we can with day jobs.

Being able to work on this stuff full time is the goal. If there are whales out there... or bountys, now is the time. This is the most important thing any of us might work on in our lifetime. 💯
