Even though it was the keynote to a developer’s conference, if you are in the development or regulatory space, you hopefully recognized the context of “protocols need tangible applications to be considered usable protocols” in why it led off the way it did.

#[0]​ did that for many with #nostr because it was a needed and attractive approach for what should have been done with social media’s timeline-like protocols. Many nostr implementations have to go beyond capability of the protocol. Let it’s capability be shown thru attention to detail, experience, and novelty that indeed elevates what someone should be able to do.

The point of good keynote ensures dev outputs have a tangible impact to certain outcomes. Keystone applications do so because they elevate usage to some outcome better than another. All nostr apps won’t do so, but if the protocol wants to be what it says it is, more apps using it need to step up the attention to user experience, documentation, and novelty.
