Nostr Web Client

Nostr is still very broken and lots of the various parts didn't live up to its potential... yet. But that doesn't mean that it has failed. It means that there's still work to be done, nothing more.

Can it be frustrating at times? Sure. Could things be better? Undoubtedly. Is it a shame that many promising projects are only half finished and/or abandoned? Of course.

Nostr’s promise, in part, is that it truly is for the people, by the people. And people are messy. And what nostr is trying to model is messy too. But it's beautiful, and alive, and promising, and WAY better than it used to be. Warts and all.

I love this place more and more each day, and I have no intention of leaving. And with the stuff that's on the horizon this little corner of the (new and improved) internet is bound to get better still.

It's amazing that it exists and that stuff mostly works, imperfect as it may be. Makes me grateful. Thank you all 🙏🧡

I always say: embrace the chaos. And honestly, what a time to be alive stumbling upon something so special and unique, with no clue where it will lead. That’s the beauty of it. Nostr isn’t just about code it’s about working hand in hand with developers, testing, giving feedback, and shaping the experience together.

This week, for example, I went back and forth with nostr:nprofile1qqs96w4cwmpqdgm66wcffcstlsu5rhel5gdpttyw5akkjxz8x7ykdxspz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7y23t6t on PubPay tweaking things to make it more user-friendly and creating an easy, fun way for people to get onboarded. Couldn’t ask for more. 💜

If you're seeing this, you might be asking yourself, what the hell is nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qpqqf9pur8yz8e8w78ap6255fx9x6xrakm2jgmqyv063l9365p7sdcs7adyk5? Well, like most things in NOSTR, we're still trying to figure it out ourselves. Right, nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7vf5xqhxvdm69e5k7tcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcqyzxd958cxy8hqz0ffagzxxrsw4kt8xax3um4qczyjy8z7u2g9vtcsd8x2yl ? 😂

PubPay is an attempt of making zaps act more like public payments, with payment requests and one tap socially provable payments. A sort of Venmo meets Splitwise, if you will, but on NOSTR! It can be used for purchases, splitting payments, requesting donations, and many other uses cases we're still to find out.

nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqqst32wlsgvqsnjfpkygxs4f6jyt0nc0kg935xdevwlv668dd26uh0gt6xm6g has been helping by testing and providing valuable feedback with PubPay LIVE. Simply put, LIVE is an interface that tracks zaps and displays them by amount in a leaderboard. Optimized to be displayed on big screens, LIVE is often used by artists and other creators to track tips while incentivizing the audience to be part of the show. A perfect example of how NOSTR enables positive feedback loop incentives, knows as Value-for-Value.

If you're interested to find out more, read this short article I wrote about it, or try it out at pubpay.me/live 🫂 All feedback is welcomed!
