Nostr Web Client

One of the things Nostr needs (nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m and nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6) are right about this) is better #marketing. It's going to take months or years of repeating the message over and over, to drill it far enough into people's heads, that they turn to us in an emergency (when user inertia lifts).

I try, but I have little reach outside of Nostr because I'm more of a quality assurance specialist and we also don't have enough of those. I can't do both, for the entire protocol.

Do we have any sales and marketing reps in here?

What problem are we solving here? No one agrees on this.

Being a Twitter alt doesn’t solve a problem, there are plenty of those.

Certain people ( nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m) think we should downplay the censorship/ freedom angle. Correct me if I’m wrong, going off memory here.

I am continually told “it doesn’t work well,” by those who are on here, interested, and who have npubs (and even, occasionally, thousands of followers).

We are also marketing a non-company (and thank G-D for that)

Nostr.band shows daily / monthly users on a consistent uptick across 2-6 mos. It’s not ready for an explosion—yet. I think nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 has said this, too.

What I *think* we are marketing is the fact that this just doesn’t suck like socials we are used to. And what I have learned from the past two years of covering social media platform news is people believe they are entitled to social media—for free—for self expression and connecting with other humans.

Atm “sucks less” and “meet more humans” is a position. 🤙

I think the answer to the opening question will end up being resolved at the client level.

And maybe Nostr becomes something we don’t lead with as much

At least that’s what I’m starting to think…

The true nostr experience is client-agnostic though… which leads into the interoperability.

As much as that interoperability is what turned on the light for me (and so many) it’s a tough sell for people still too inclined toward username/password/account/platform.

So if we market a client > nostr, then it becomes experiential. Showing how chronological feeds and lack of algorithm change the experience, for example.

We are making “social media” fun again. We make it social again here. And then here’s a slick client that does that in the palm of your hand.
