So far so good.
Keep calm and trust the developers๐
Sweet love.
Topics and sports.
Report on sports and teams that are sponsored or open to #bitcoin.
More exclusive company promotions on Nostr.
Platform
Non-bitcoin topic and non-bitcoiners
Kindness
Fleets, Feeds, and Fiat
Better creator tools, Algos, and Bitcoin/LN as rails for USD like tokens.
Amethyst has Stories, but they don't disappear like Fleets. I actually liked Fleets ๐ฑ
Use cases!
Clients need: 1 tap zaps + swipe to hide/follow
Relays need: the ability to accept and relay offline notes like from sms or data packets over radio
Ecosystem needs: more people talking about things other than Bitcoin & nostr
Protocol needs: idk; it seems like alien tech. Better just leave it alone.
Agree. All great points. Work hard.
Ability to discover
Maybe unpopular opinion but it needs less emphasis on zaps & more on discovering & creating various communities of users.
Zaps seem cool but really difficult to sustain for non-pleb new users๐คท
1. User-controlled filtering. If you visit the "public timeline" when you're using popular zero-price relays, there's a lot more spam (and porn) than there is actual content. But also, I've come across some really racist & sexist posters.
The ability to quickly and easily filter out most of that would be an amazing improvement.
2. Desktop clients (not using Electron or similar browser-based stuff). Not "grab Rust and Cargo and then type in this incantation" stuff either. Something available in repos like Chocolatey or Debian/Ubuntu would be preferred, but even download on GitHub/sourceforge and unzip to run would be okay.
3. Less hostile to those who are not Bitcoin-only. Some of the people I interact with outside of Nostr are Ethereum users and some are non-crypto folks who fell for "boiling the oceans" propaganda.
4. The mobile clients Damus and Amethyst seem to be polished up fairly well now. They could still use some work before they're ready for the world.
5. More bridges to other decentralized networks. Even if it doesn't seem like it, we're not really fighting one another. We're fighting the big centralized networks, the smaller centralized networks whose architectures don't prevent any of the issues the big networks have, and the public's tendency to believe that the only way to be seen and connected is to use Facebook/Twitter/Instagram etc. If using Nostr means you're also connected to users of $DECENTRALIZED_NETWORK, then we're all pulling together to pry people out of centralized corporate network prisons.
Mostr (bridge to the Fediverse) is a good start, but given the size of the networks, there should be multiple such bridges.
6. Others have noted that easier discovery is needed. I agree.
