Thinking of building a Nostr client. Haven’t been this excited about something in a long time
Discussion
Where do you begin?
How do you differentiate from all the other clients?
Great question. Hard to say right now, but perhaps a new direction like Search, or Long-form content, or tools to migrate from Twitter. What do you wish clients had?
Hey, thanks for asking...🙏👍😁 I still need to learn what I can and can't expect from nostr... So take this with a grain of salt, but here's what I would love to see:
I find the format of most social media too ephemeral to be really conducive to anything more than back and forth banter... i.e., you're only as good as your most recent post, and soon afterwards forgotten.
I would like an environment suited to archival permanence of my writing, and building an authentic following of appreciative readers.
With BTC integrated as is, this could produce ongoing passive income.
I picture a hybrid of this wonderful twitter-like interactive environment, WordPress-like ability to have plug-ins such as integrated storefronts, AND a separate, topically and hierarchically organized repository for our longer form writing, something like my Library on Hive:

Thanks for ideas. I think making bitcoin income for users would be a great future direction of Nostr. And there’s NIP-23 which allows for writing long-form editable Markdown articles. I’ll look into this
This app is in incredible, followed
How easy is it to set up a relay?
What sort of client?
We're in dire need of a marketplace, to create a circular economy.
