Nostr Web Client

i’m noticing several projects in nostr going after similar goals who don’t seem to be collaborating. i’m not sure if that’s for perceived competition, a very different approach to the problem spaces, or general lack of communication about project goals.

with open source software i would expect more collaboration. if you’re building something in nostr i’m curious why you may not be collaborating with others building similar/relevant stuff.

Meanwhile, in python there are 18 ways to manage your virtualenvs

It’s really not that simple to assume collaboration even between almost identical implementations

I don’t think competing tools is bad

Also open source is a series of cat herding exercises

oh yeah, when people have different ideas and approaches i think “competing tools” is good/healthy. explore more space to find the best patterns

i just worry/wonder how much “reinventing the wheel” is happening. if it’s intentional, great! if it’s for lack of communication/knowledge sharing i’m wondering if there are ways to improve these kinds of things.

It is unavoidable. Humans are involved.

FWIW, I would never use or develop a software project written in PHP. Ever.

LOL

I may be irrational but that’s because I’m human
