there is a problem with nostr

nostr is a protocol

nostr is like smtp to email

just as there are many email clients: outlook, thunderbird, apple mail, gmail, yahoo mail, protonmail...

there are also many nostr clients: amethyst, damus, iris, snort...

client diversity is good

but what is the corresponding word to "email" or "tweet" for nostr?

"notes"?

we need a single technological buzzword to refer to this whole thing that people can use.

no one needs to remember the protocol name nostr (it's a poorly chosen name anyways)

no one client client should become synonymous with the technology itself. (none of the existing clients have a catchy name anyways)

any suggestions?
