Really, I didn't think Mr Ross was that type of guy. He seems really outgoing. I wonder why he didn't want to go on nostr. I thought he would of jumped at the chance.
Just got reminded today how far we have come as the Nostr dev community.
Early on when nostr:npub1gt9gms5hr3l6548zxgn7xvcvcmzxyzgdsrrelrdwxwmj0exz7jaqdjlxjt was the earliest proper paid relay, nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s was making Damus in beta, I contributed the LNbits backend to nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m's Nostream, Astral was the best Nostr app at the time, nostr:npub13ch6rllnruy5z2qm57836yw5zx4ytju4jl569jys6jhtp9furupsccdsaw's media hosting service was early, the userbase was still small, and I was struggling to convince nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 to get on Nostr... I could go on and on.
And now we have a lot of different types of apps, reliable relays, much more content, better usability. And it only keeps getting better.

the nostr user experience was really bad in july 2022 when semisol first showed it to me. i didn't even attempt to understand it. i looked at the UI (or lack thereof) and immediately dismissed it. i came back 5 months later and never left after i finally understood it.
