Nostr Web Client

Why did I vibe code Zappix?

Because I've been saying since the TikTok ban threats that Nostr needs a viable TikTok alternative. I also think we need a viable Instagram alternative. Every single day more people get banned from these two platforms and start looking elsewhere. 😩

Where are they looking? BlueSky alternatives! That honestly upsets me. I feel like Nostr is missing out on mass user migrations again and again. We might be the better protocol, but it doesn't matter if we don't have the tools to showcase it.

The masses don't want web apps though. They don't care about PWAs. They want native applications. I can't vibe code that... Yet. 👀

We have some current solutions, but they're all alpha at best. I have incredible high hopes for Olas from nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mf0dv4ph5. I have incredible high hopes for Freeflow from nostr:nprofile1qqsx8lnrrrw9skpulctgzruxm5y7rzlaw64tcf9qpqww9pt0xvzsfmgpr9mhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5q3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmq82esgy. These guys are talented developers that have deep understandings of Nostr and application development. Maybe they need more time, resources, or fires. 🔥

Therefore, it's my hope that nostr:nprofile1qqsxjvepw89pg6y44hlxse3mez0rvh80t7uh54rcp2axl65t40aj6sgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc9xsxm6 is able to stir up interest in these media formats and get more people using them and talking about them. Its my hope that new interests spark and help drive the narratives for native apps. That's what the masses want.

Apparently nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47spzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46q6ekpnp is on the path already with Nostr Vine. I love that we're on the same wavelength here. I can't wait to see it when it's ready.

Keep building. Keep vibing.

Derek, if you can get a shorts feature built into Primal that would be off the hook. If I could just filter my post by vertical videos. Bro that would be epic.

I hope one app like Primal makes it happen. Imagine one app that you could click one button and it would turn your feed from Twitter which is everything you post, then being able to click a button and your feed switches from X to TikTok, vertical videos only. Then you click another bottom and your feed transforms from TikTok to Youtube. Horizontal videos only. Then add a playlist feature.

It would combine every social media platform into one and it would be unstoppable.

We also need a live stream feature with pop out chats, and the same user experience as YouTube for live streaming. live view counter, it would be sick to to have an option to put zap chats on the screen so everytime someone zaps you it would show their comments on your screen.

I could go on for hours. Hope yall code something bad ace, I can’t wait to see what yall got cooking

I would say that Instagram vs YouTube wouldn’t be worth it.

I’d say

# Twitter

# TikTok

# YouTube

# Live Streaming.

#6 Ingram but I don’t really see a need when the TikTok feature would almost be identical. Also having TikTok style thumbnails that show you a preview would be massive
