I think what every open source bitcoin project needs is a regular review by a fresh pair of eyes.
It's really easy to develop tunnel vision and blame everyone else for not using "your" solution, when the solution is actually not good enough.

Different projects for timelines etc
I am looking for app developer in Bitcoin , Can you help me with that
As I was reading through the hackers era, punk era, the rise of DIY movement which lead to the open source movement, one part that struck me the most is finding your own users. And I think that's kinda important as it is ultimately your project and you have your own target users in mind (you as in any creator, developer).
So say if you want to charge a bomb for it, if you find users willing to pay for it, then so be it. If you want to make an entire anime version of your client and you find users for it, so be it. If you want a cooking focused client and you can configure the relay as such and there are users for it, so be it.
Ultimately, you can build anything you want and if you can convince users to use it, who's to stop you.

Hmm, I had usability or lack there of in mind when I wrote that.
you are right tho, i agree with you. I just took one step back in finding users before facing the user dilemma lol.
But it also got me thinking that maybe Nostr is this big makerspace or hackerspace for any creators to come + build + find own users + grow the business.
And that would mean it would need more creators, more devs, more entrepreneurs + designer + genius like you, more builders idk.
Maybe there are many ways to define Nostr and this is one way.
I'm no genius haha. Basic user testing outside of the hacker types would be a good start, but also just having fresh perspectives.
