Nostr Web Client

Guys the TikTok ban is a lesson for Nostr. We missed a huge opportunity. We need to develop faster, we need to reach out to companies so they integrate Nostr, we need to fund advertising, there is a lot we could be doing that we aren’t.

We should have had a TikTok clone by last summer. I will do what I can, I am learning to code, but I am far behind, so I won’t be able to do much any time soon. We missed a huge opportunity, we could have gained hundreds of thousands, if not millions of users if we had an app ready for that niche.

I disagree. It’s an information problem, not a UX problem. Info travels unfairly, and most TikTok users that will have been banned, simply have no idea Nostr even exists

Admittedly it’s a chicken and egg problem in a sense

if you could reach 50mil people with a single post on Nostr, then the reach would entice people, but that doesn’t happen overnight

With that reach UX would improve

But Nostr is still figuring out what it is. How it works. Why it works. It works, sure, but aside from the pure hustle from some avid early adopters, there’s been next to no investment into it vs legacy

Hopefully this changes!

Ridiculous that a US judge can have so much influence on how people use the internet… great marketing for Nostr

It wasn’t just the Court, 80% of the legislative branch supported the ban, and Biden signed it into law. The whole government worked together to ban the app that realistically had supermajority support among the public.

I definitely think Nostr needs a little more time, the timing just wasn’t ideal for Nostr to fill the hole that TikTok left. Nostr clearly isn’t going away, it will just keep growing until it’s big enough for normies
