Nostr Web Client

Please no. The last thing Nostr needs is more dev work tied to Bitcoin meetups, podcasts and stuff for Maxis. That already makes up about 90% of Nostr.

I’d much rather see indie tech enthusiasts building ephemeral software for a handful of other devs than anything that drags Nostr deeper into the BTC Twitter hole. Personally, I value FOSS devs who create software for actual human beings (and who are willing to fix bugs and maintain their projects instead of abandoning them for the next experiment once the hard brownfield reality sets in). We cant have everything of course, and proper product vision is hard. But Nostr needs to start bringing in people from outside the BTC Zeitgeist.

Bitcoin meetups have use cases that apply to a multitude of other groups. Store fronts, forums, media, private comms, calendars, polls, streaming, fundraising, elections, recomendations, etc.

Maybe its just my meetup, but we have lots of needs that arent twitter related that nostr could solve but hasnt.

Fair enough, valid point. I think we need to find more users (and devs) at non-BTC meetups as well. I can help with that; I run a few myself. And now, thanks to Fiatjaf and the great work by nostr:nprofile1qqsvyv8d6dx2tjp33069j2kq2mx7xage6w2upyzvxl4pcegt3t22wyspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qfqwaehxw309ashqmrpvdjkjmn5dpjhxatw9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mf00fytsp, nostr:nprofile1qqsymsh9wrz5lmurz0arqn6jjaqyfmtvz2z3qpfxqz5msnvr0wqjd7gprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wghxcctwvshs2mpw4w, and others, I can even onboard them to a relay like spatianostra, where there’s at least a chance of attracting people who aren’t necessarily Maxis.

Thank you for seeing the purpose of spatianostra, Anthony! (and for mentioning us)... I really hope it helps to show that Nostr isn't a one-topic place, nor full of crazy people & bots, or whatever the naysayers rag about. There is some really cool stuff shared here by really great people, and I'm glad we have a way to elevate some of that now.
