It saddens me that we’re not building better clients for future generations.

Didn't you write a blog about this? What was the link again? I saved it somewhere but I can't find it 🤙
I’m interested in this as well
Future generations will figure it out
This is a big part of my project, and a lot of what we cover in the book study episodes of nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qyvhwumn8ghj76r0v3kxymmy9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee0qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyw8wumn8ghj7cmgwf5hxarsd9kxctnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy2hwumn8ghj7cm0wfskxmr99eek7cmfv9kz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshsqgxl78v8swd99cullfn0jccnlydssu6dftxdnnkvw8tclsh25uvk8g2xw7zq . I like your suggestions, but I think we'll have to go much deeper to really fix social media.
In the mentime, this is of course super difficult because we're already tackling decentralization, which is a big enough problem on its own. The good news is, the open protocol makes it very easy to build new clients that implement new, healthier ideas.
Glad to hear it’s on the radar. I don’t claim to have all the answers; I’m sure people have way better ideas and I hope they are being discussed and considered.
I have a vision for my ideal nostr client and maybe it'll resonate with you. I'd like a client that has dedicated, separate feeds for each relay I'm subscribed to. That way, adding a new relay feels like joining a community. I want a feature that Instagram used to have which is it will tell you when you've caught up on your feed. I liked this, I found it helped me timebox my usage of social media. I want it to have no discovery outside of the search. Finding new npubs to follow is more organic and word-of-mouth. It's way less efficient but it's a way to effortlessly restrain yourself from sinking hours into something that really should be a tool.
