nostr has more to figure out than most as it is starting from a deeper foundation, and is evolving organically and competitively rather than by design.

So we should expect it to take longer to form and longer to iterate to become something broadly compelling.

nostr has no technology limitations and is not short of talented developers, what is missing at the moment is diversity of business models.

nostr has maybe a dozen Twitter clones. Why? Why build the 13th Twitter clone?

There was nostrgram for a while, but really another brand clone. Why?

Stop cloning web2, what’s the point?

It already exists.

“Hey I built Twitter but better, because of [complicated reasons]”… is not compelling.

nostr needs to think a little more profoundly about what the tech actually is, and then lean into that and follow where that truth leads to… it does not lead to Twitter clones!

Discovery does not mean aggregation! Stop and think more deeply. Empower exploration instead of sterilising it, the internet made a bad turn, we can now go back and turn the other way.

Nostr is a permissionless standard for sharing things safely. Safe torrents are now possible, yet people are using nostr to churn out another social feed UI?

Notes are not limited to blobs of text.

Middleman relays are nice, but edge relays are the end game. I can already see that coming over the hill with nostrdb.

Patience and persistence are the only things that nostr needs to have protected whilst it incubates in public.
