Thank you for this. I didnāt really understand the ābuilding in publicā aspect. The greater the excitement, the greater the impatience, I think. ššš«

Yeah honestly it makes me sad to see people assume that just because ZBD doesnāt have something now, it never will have it in the future. We only released social this early because we figured weād give our users exactly what they want. Not everyone gets it and thatās ok i guess.
Itās just that our whole team wants to deliver something wonderful to people and that has to be done thoughtfully, not in haste šš«”
Appreciate you as an OG!!!
I donāt think that assumption is out there. I think itās more a Veruca Salt mentality and the fact that people are used to final product being delivered in its end state. āEarly adopterā still meant using a final product for most folks.
Nostr and the apps that interact with it are so new, so proto, so Wild West that the city slickers that come out (me included) expect there to be more infrastructure and amenities.
Thank you to all at ZBD for your efforts and patience with us users. š«”š«š

I've been on Nostr for 9 months now. I've seen Nostr grow at breakneck speeds. Most users across Nostr assume that no client is feature complete. Most of us assume that client's features are going to be missing, broken, and improving on a daily basis.
The questions came about with ZBD because it's the first Nostr client to be closed source and manage Nostr private keys for users. That's different than anything we've seen before. Because of this, we're cautious and asking questions because we want wants best for the entire protocol and all apps across the ecosystem.
For me on a personal level, I recommend apps to people on a daily basis. I get public and private questions about Nostr clients. I can't recommend something to someone if I haven't used the client or if I don't know it's insides and outsides. If I was given access to ZBD, I'd do what I always do, I'd create a burner account and play around. But since I can't, I'm asking here in public to get some answers. š¤š»
Anyone who has been here 9 months is in an entirely different class than me and (Iām guessing) quite a few of those of us onboarded via ZBD. š«”
The easier it is to come into the Nostrverse (and ZBD made it easy and fun and rewarding), the more āusersā there will be who have different assumptions than the coders and builders who came before.
(Continued in next comment because I maxed out my character count ā¦ )
For example, @samsamskies replied with 3 ways to zap at a note level from a Nostr client. 1 way involved GitHub, which as a non-coder I avoid. The other 2 were websites. Both had terms I have no idea what to do with.
Iām sure youād could easily use any of the 3. I assume he thought I could too. Coders are amazing folksā¦ who sometimes assume a level of technical proficiency some of us just donāt have.
I think ZBD is trying to help their user āusersā and itās a different path.
ZBD has a character limit? Definitely try other clients and expand your horizons. I've never seen that on any other Nostr app. I wonder why ZBD made that decision?
I put in a request for a larger limit so I could post my microfiction as text. I didnāt know other clients donāt have limits.
I use Damus for things ZBD is still working on, but I can only look, not like/zap/post because I donāt have my nsec yet.
Been thinking about creating another account, but not sure I want to keep up with two. I know Iām in a small garden; that mostly works for me right now.
