we also already have streaming which could easily be integrated to a nostr tiktok copycat client.
tiktok live has became such a success for the company. we already have it, and better. nostr:note1gkm32xj6lr5r8890alp4vytmq86qqq3ad7g0gd99553s3jcfn9vqqj7kn4
Media hosting would be the killer feature. nostr:npub138s5hey76qrnm2pmv7p8nnffhfddsm8sqzm285dyc0wy4f8a6qkqtzx624 and nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 are moving towards being easy ways to do this. The question is how to pay for it without gross monetization, or we literally are just a TikTok clone.
Not bragging or anything, but we got nostrtok.com..
boom
Id love to see nostr move away from “nostr” or “str” in the name.
What are we really saying when we have status quo app names in our app names? “Hey, we’re just copying you 🤭 “
Besides, it limits our thinking capacity in doing only what they’ve done instead of out-innovating them.
Just my 2 sats ✌️
yeah i remember when nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 brought that up a while ago, i think either way idc, especially if they already bought the domain!
Yeah, and it doesn't guarantee / add to success either.
Amethyst, damus, primal. The most used client doesn't contain the word "str" in it
Tokstr is so tempting tho ...
yeah i’m with you. that’s why i mentioned how complicated it would be.
i was just thinking about what would onboard more users, and i think that’s the only thing i know of (other than a youtube) that would bring in people.
Exactly, hosting multimedia files has a high cost in the medium term and connecting to new clients and servers today is impractical because there is no standard (Damus still does not connect to nostrcheck for example).
I believe that in the next few weeks we will make a lot of progress in this aspect and I am confident that we will finally have a NIP that will allow hundreds of alternatives to flourish, for profit and non-profit.
Then nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9 will be able to create zaptok.com 😊
link?
Storing and displaying video really aren't the things that need to be solved for a tiktok like platform. That's enough for a youtube clone, but that's not what tiktok is. Tiktok is the AR video recorder/editor and the carefully manipulated algorithm. Being able to record yourself, manipulate your look and voice, record yourself over the audio of another persons video, dueting their video. Constantly creating new "challenges" or small random generator games like with the spinny things over your head to tell you what disney princess you are.
Even instagram and youtube's copycat formated videos are almost always made using tiktok.
And then the manipulated algorithm. I don't know how that would work on Nostr. That's just evil genius shit right there. It's kind of anti-nostr in every way.
oh yeah, that’s the first thing i thought of when making the note.
it’s a challenge but maybe there’s a way it could work.
