Nostr Web Client

I don't dislike the idea of algorithms, I just never found one that really worked. Not even the YouTube algo works for me.

Follow-based feeds work. But it gets old quick. The secret is finding new communities to belong. Not necessarily in a NIP-29/Discord way. But communities nevertheless.

When you build a follow list, you are essentially assembling a community for yourself. You mark the people you want to engage with. Nostr is still a single community.

Maybe Clients need more of that "Follow list building magic". Or maybe communities will be formed around apps, like Olas is doing right now. Maybe we need different nsecs for different communities...

Maybe the whole point of Nostr identities is to build, discard it and start again.

Maybe multiple identities is the natural state of life. And Nostr is just the vehicle to make them digital...

Different follow lists for different purposes is like having different keypairs but without the friction of having to change between them. On Amethyst it would be 2 presses instead of 5 possibly. Instead of Follows and global you'd have your custom feed you have named for yourself. For me it would be "Nostr devs only" and "Nostr devs + bitcoin people". I've tried to solve the information flood problem by having two keypairs with little success.

I realise now I can do exactly this with kind `30000` on listr.lol

I can't believe it took this long for me to figure this out

My initial hope was that something like listr.lol would become the standard and I wouldn't need to code on Amethyst. But I think I still need to do it :(

Yeah I'd really like to add people to my kind 30000 follow sets directly from Amethyst

list management has to be integrated into the main client so it's effortless
