Nostr Web Client

The quality of almost all Nostr products is so bad, that it feels malicious at worst, incompetent at best. I don't even know how it's even POSSIBLE, to produce software this bad. They must go to "How to build confusing software that doesn't work" lessons, or something.

Now, you know, why users run away.

Stop asking this question, like you don't know this.

It's obvious. The software is generally really crappy software, and that has nothing to do with the protocol and everything to do with the programmers.

Nobody gives a damn and it shows. Your contempt for your users is obvious and they're like "Right back atcha, buddy."

Everyone is grossly discounting the reputational risk of "releasing too soon".

Even an alpha release should work well. Being alpha just means it contains some new feature, not that everything else breaks down.

If your stuff doesn't work, properly and reliably, then it is a mere prototype, and not a release. If you only ever release prototypes, then why do you expect anyone to use it? Prototypes are to be looked at, and discussed, not used.

That release coulda been a screenshot.

Like, do y'all even understand what a "release" is? It's a software increment that has been "approved for wider use". It's called a release because someone or something was holding it back and "released it".

Who approved your last release? You did? For real? That's interesting.

Okay, you approved it according to what definition or checklist? Oh, you didn't have one? Then it's just a prototype.

I know, right? When did releasing prototypes become something we do? Literally defeats the whole purpose of it being a prototype.
