Good morning β˜€οΈ

It's a tale as old as the 1980s, when the client-server model was invented.

If you include dumb terminals and mainframes, you can go back to the late 60’s early 70’s

That would be dumb terminals and mainframes. C'mon Mike. 😩

Yeh, that’s a client and a server.

We move in cycles between centralised and decentralised computing every 10 - 15 years.

It’s a very tech-heavy term that means something very different to most people. A β€œclient” for most people is a customer. An β€œapp” is what we should be calling it if we want to decrease friction for new users.

Absolutely, which is why I more often than not say app because people outside of tech circles don't understand the terminology. I also mention that we shouldn't say relays either. People understand network and server. Relay is a bad and confusing name.

You start to understand it after you have been immersed in it for awhile. But in beginning, I was so freaking confused.

Right

I've been telling people client -> Nostr is like web browser -> internet. Seems to work.

ITS FUNNY BC ITS TRUE πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

APPS IS STRICTLY A MORE RELATABLE TERM FOR MOST PEOPLE.

LEAN INTO IT HARD.

vs. client? I think so.

ah just saw the meme.. yep

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg is an app, nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 is a client. There is a discernible and important difference.

We can have both.
