Nostr is so awesome. Many clients are fucking fantastic already, and it will only get better from here.

Can't wait to have a proliferation of nostr-native wallets, which is bound to come soon too.
We're just scratching the surface still. Other stuff is in the making, key rotation and delegation will come too, and I expect more use-case specific clients like Olas to pop up.
I'm still in love with nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 - so much freaking potential. And I wouldn't be surprised if my dream flow would be a reality in 12 months from now.

^_^ I just built Will's Notedeck from the source code. Is this what freedom looks like?
YAAAAS.
Okay 🙂
I’ve been hearing this mantra repeated for the past two years lol
Are you saying things got worse in the last 24 months?

Appreciate the articulation, but I disagree.

You seem preoccupied with (normie) user adoption. That is not unreasonable but personally think this is not the way it is going to play out.
It makes far more sense to me that Nostr will take the margins first and encircle the center before capturing that center. The super power is in the interoperability throughout the variety of usecases; go for the niches.
I, and my sense is a small but minimal viable size group is already at the point of there being no reason to ever go 'back', and our options/usecases only grows over time.
Retention among normies/masses is terrible, but i expect it to be such.
Realize that Nostr constitutes a whole new paradigm that appearently most devs dont even seem to comprehend (fully) yet. We are, in fact, still early
“We’re early”—this message has been part of the narrative for some Bitcoiners who moved here two years ago. But I challenge you: try onboarding non-Bitcoin normies to the clients and watch how quickly they leave. Then ask them why they left. That will give you a much clearer picture, rather than simply repeating the same mantra that people like Gigi are pushing here.
I just gave you the reason for why we are early; even a lot of developers don't fully grasp things yet.
I also told you i dont care about those non-Bitcoin normies; ofcourse they much rather stick to the environment that has a bazillion $ of funding and decades of development history. Where is the value add for those people, there is not any. At best they feel the current platforms getting shittier, but that is a push, not a pull, and for now same-old-same-old-but-with-bullshitmarketing stuff like bluesky will get those people before we do, and then fail regardless.
We are not building a social media alternative, we are building a whole new web, a whole new compute paradigm, its all new, its all different and it all has to be figured out.
Tiktok blew up in no-time because it is the endstage of a paradigm; the bestest fanciest horsebuggy.
Nostr wont win by competing on those terms.
This is just the beginning

I just posted a note from primal on my laptop and am now replying to your note on Amethyst. Imagine fading this.
It will soon become cool to say "I'm not on any social media platform. Just Nostr protocol." It already is, but it will, too.
You’re making me more bullish than I thought I could be, which one is captivating you most?
I concur
Primal and Amethyst ate definitely pretty good
What’s your top 5?
I tried a client a little less than 2 years ago. Primal right now feels amazing. Happy to have given it another try after all the nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx podcasts.

Still it’s very cheap if you compare it if you subscribe to content creator on X zap here is pretty cheap
I hope Andrew Tate have profile on nostr
