The problem is that there are many nostr developers that should just work for others that understand how to create a good product, instead of trying to create their own clients. Today what we see is many ugly, bug and missing nostr clients.

GFY I still use w3 or lynx sometimes.
"Ugly" - what's that for argument?
I use FVM2 as Desktop environment.
It's over the top highly configurable, users are really productive by using it.
You sound like Microsoft when Linux hit the planet.
"Too ugly" wtf
Not everybody wants to be distracted by nice candy-like buttons or use a client that mimics centraliced social media apps.
Maybe there are users out there, that prefer the look&feel of plan9?
Also, as a Bitcoiner, I want my clients streamlined with minimal attack surface.
No fancy shit, just a marketplace that works and is safe, preferably without bells and whistles.
So you want Nostr to be used by few people, like is today.
I don't care. Linux was also used by few people.
We already have twitter clones, we have Instagram clones and so on.
Read what Jack wrote -- we now need marketplaces and other stuff to free people from gouvernment and corporate enslavement.
You don't care but many people care.
Why are the many people not on nostr then?
Damus and Amethyst f.e. are good enough to attract people.
They are not here, because they don't want to loose their followers, their bubble is still on X.
Independent Bitcoiners ARE here, now lets do anonymous web3 with BTC commerce.
This are real usecases, because they are unique like silkroad was.
The succes will draw people here.
The only other thing bringing people to NOSTR is censorship.
So we can "hope" there will be lots of censorship to bring people here -- or we build usecases UNIQUE to nostr, successfull business posdibilities.
Remember ebay when it was cool?
Damus and Amethyst are far away of being good clients.
