Nostr Web Client

These so-called (I'm a bit dubious about the labelling tbh lol) normies won't come and stay here or any new app in any significant numbers as long as the content is self-referential b!tcoinismspam.

That being said I can imagine one scenario in the short term at least that could possibly work. (I'm sure more scenarios are kicking about lol, I'm just into the idea of this one lol). The Communities function. Groups could be set up in those parts, with apps catering to keeping the noise of 'st4ck s4ts and st4y Humb1e' cordoned off, or totally removed. In the same way most people never check the unfiltered Global feed, and have somewhat forgotten it's even there.

Sort of feel nostr may always be fairly niche, which is totally fine. Or maybe there will be an app built on nostr that reaches mass adoption and the users aren't even aware of the word nostr. Suppose that's possible too.

Anyway just typing this out on the #toiletchain 🧻 and having a little think lol;)

ive settled to the realization that it was made for b!tc0iners only and its walled garden to it, ppl just cant mention nostr without the word b!tc0in, very small chance it will get mass adoption and im fine with it

I think that's probably sensible way of seeing it. And I agree. I'm just entertaining the thought of discord/Reddit/other groups who are perhaps looking for a more stable online community platform away from censorship or whatever coming. An app catering towards that discussion/Reddit style, and the twitter -style b!tcoin feed being tucked away or not even seen.

i think this could happen if a normie / nonb1tc0iner dev/s start making a new client (maybe a paid app w/ fiat!) like nostr:npub10fuz7xdgxyfsvgks3fd27wx36ffwx5ku5jckdq7vklvnzu0g7y8swl7gd7

I think btc tipping is fine and desirable, even the mythical normies I meet own some btc and would like that tipped. (They just don't shout about it). But there are scenarios where content creators need cash for costs, relying on it for income, buy equipment (and they don't fancy the extra steps of conversion). I suppose there are plenty of options already for that tho, drop a Kofi link or whatever in a note. But yeah also maybe integrated as another option in a nostr app would be fine for that requirement too. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

oh yes i dont mind zaps/tips, but the thing is ppl here are so anti fiat i dont think they consider paid apps or subscrition based apps that could be alternative income

i definitely would pay 3-5 bucks for a good well designed nostr app/client if its available in the app store, just look how succesful tweetbot was (now ivory in mastod)

My team is looking at nostr to build a slack for devs, startups etc. We have already built a Discord alternative called Catalyze on Dfinity’s Internet Computer chain. Catalyze.one. Some have suggested we port that to Nostr as well. Lastly we built a Reddit for gamers and anime fans on the Sui chain. Gilder.io. Lots to do and happy to discuss what to go after first.

I also might be feeling a bit more hopeful about nostr since the hidden words filter came about lol. Let me enjoy my toilet echo chamber
