Nostr Web Client

And how it thinks it becomes a “major player”:

There are a few things that would help Nostr to become a major player in the social media landscape. These include:

* **Increased user adoption:** Nostr needs to attract more users in order to become a major player. This can be done through marketing and outreach efforts, as well as by making the platform more user-friendly and appealing.

* **Improved features and functionality:** Nostr needs to offer features and functionality that are comparable to or better than those of existing social media platforms. This could include things like better search, more customization options, and more ways to connect with others.

* **A strong community:** Nostr needs to build a strong community of users who are passionate about the platform. This community can help to promote Nostr and attract new users.

* **Trust and credibility:** Nostr needs to establish itself as a trustworthy and credible platform. This can be done by being transparent about its privacy practices and by taking steps to protect user data.

If Nostr can achieve these things, it has the potential to become a major player in the social media landscape. It is a unique and innovative project that could help to change the way we use social media.

Correct @jack. But how do you achieve this???

1. Make the platform more "user friendly." Simplify & diversify user onramping by making it easier to join and/or enabling users to open an account by:

a) NSEC for those wanting privacy and anonimity completely and/or who are digitally savy.

b) Allow option to join the platform using just their name, access to IP address and/or Digital # verification , ie. It is "their" choice, whatever method user is comfortable with. Do NOT be restrictive.

2. Develop SYSTEMS model so users can access & chose what they want quickly and efficiently.

a) Relay

b) Hashtag

c) Topic

d) Following, etc. etc etc.

3. Incorporate & Develop ORGANIZATION model to appeal to user's interests and/or narrow down their search depending on their interest:

a) Politics

b) News

c) World Events

d) Daily Trends

e) Gossip

f) Sports

g) Entertainment

h) Health, food, art, etc, etc

Bottom Line: You need to achieve and develop this platform in such a way, in order to RETAIN the users once they join.

I think the appeal of Nostr is its quick development vs. Bluesky who is trying to play it too safe with the AT protocol, invitee only approach, developing at a snail's pace, while unable to seize the momentum. Whereas Nostr is seizing the momentum. And while not perfect yet, it will outperform Bluesky. No such thing as playing safe and/ or bad press when you want to seize momentum. In fact the opposite, bad press draws attention and promotes more influx and awareness of the platform.

Now just Diversify! Diversify! Diversify! and seize the momentum Nostr has already created.

Just some thoughts.
