Nostr Web Client

I think we see the development priorities that reflect our community here on #Nostr. The foundation of this community are folks from #Bitcoin Twitter who got tired of dealing with not owning their identity, social graph, or content, and dealing with shadow-banning and being slaves to the algorithm there.

As a result of this, we see that most clients are some permutation of a Twitter-clone. We really have very little selection when it comes to clients outside of that format of content. Long-form would be the closest 2nd, probably, with Habla, Highlighter, YakiHonne, Blogstack and now Primal supporting that content type, and only a few of them focusing entirely on it.

Video content we have what? Flare.pub? Anything else out there that supports kinds 34235 or 34236, let alone focuses specifically on 34236 the way TicTok does? I can't think of anything, which seems to indicate that it's not something our community has really been pushing for.

As Nostr grows so will the community that builds it. I joined Nostr a year ago and months later nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr and I start working on #nextblock. Because I pushed for it.

We think we're building a great social media experience that anyone would enjoy and the benefits of Nostr will be the bonus feature.

The painpoints of Twitter you listed are the same on any legacy social media. And Bitcoiners have been divided from the rest of society because of legacy social media blocking information. We should be working to bring different experiences for the masses. To free us all.

Oh, I completely agree! We should be building ALL THE THINGS on Nostr, and I am stoked to try out NextBl9ck when it is ready. I was just giving my take on why the Nostr community doesn't seem to care much about what is happening with TicTok.

Oh gotcha! Yes completely understand. Everyone deserves to build the app that they would want to use. Also I have so much admiration for everyone who worked on nostr the first four years. So inspiring to start such a revolution.

Thank you for getting excited for NextBlock!
