I was initially confused by the idea of microapps, because all examples I heard were about social media use case - "edit profile", "edit contact list", "edit relays" etc.

But think about this: we can have nostr events for _any_ data type. Which means _any_ app could be a Nostr app.

Why would you want to make all apps work over Nostr? Because Nostr is the infrastructure for an app ecosystem, much better than the dominant ones like Android/iOS.

- You have an open "cloud database" with a standard API

- You have authenticity and tamper-proof of all events (documents, files, records)

- You have well defined data types (event kinds)

- You have a decentralized monetization (LN)

- You have web of trust as a potential solution to app safety issues

- You have shared open network effect for the benefit of any new app

None of the existing app platforms offers anything like this.

Nostr as Twitter alternative is fun. Nostr as iOS alternative is crazy fun!

Tell a random app dev that Nostr is a Twitter replacement, and they'll probably yawn. Tell them it's a new app platform, and they'll start paying attention.

We win the devs - Nostr wins. Right?
