Hey Newcomers, welcome to Nostr, hope you enjoy your first swim!

Here is a website I am building to help track the different applications across the Nostr ecosystem.

https://whynostr.com/explore

Whether you are a writer, musician, blogger, or just a professional hanger-outer, you can find an application that matches you and your interests.

Select a category from the drop-down menu and see some of the sites that help make Nostr so special!

Also, reach out if you have questions on anything. Cheers!

That's good. 👍👍👍👍

🤜 thanks Esteban!

Lol just realized writer and blogger are basically equal, my brain couldn’t come up with another thing in the moment 😂🤷‍♂️

Nah. I never considered myself a writer in the past, but I was absolutely a blogger 🤙🏻

🤜 for sure, I retract my note (delete requested).

They are different, my brain feels better.

Still ⚡️thru damus!

Very cool, thank you!

One thing that I think that would make a good use for a nostr app is a 3d models database. Something like thingiverse or printables, but with no middleman, and you could zap the content creator directly.

I'm sure that someday we will have it.

#nostr is just beginning.

#grownostr

Love this idea!!

Very cool, thx!

🤜🫂 thanks!!

Can I write/ post it on here instead of specific things?

Yes, you can definitely write directly on the app you using!

The apps I am collecting in this explore page, well most of them at least, have direct compatibility with Nostr so for some content such as long form blogging, you can log into them via your Nostr credentials and then it all Interoperates easily and cohesively.

Thanks for explaining

nostr:npub10fu0hlkx3s4n4dsgfu0cpqephga4afr4qtzpz9vsyqf7vj88v2yqdp8vp4 r u a Nostr dev? Is there any plan to add a feature that delete Note already posted?

I am not a dev, just a super fan of technology and the devs who are actually building all of these amazing tools in the Nostr ecosystem.

They inspired me to curate a list of sites and begin building whynostr.com in order to help #grownostr in the way I could.

Here is an application to delete events, but because of the way Nostr events are broadcasted to many relays across network, it may be hard to permanently delete a note from every relay everywhere.

To use the site below you need to have a browser extension installed (see photo below for list). These browser extensions are a tool that help you log in to different sites with your Nostr credentials while still helping to keep them safe. (Note: keep your nsec key private, think of it like a password and do not paste or type it into websites.)

I like Alby on desktop and Nostore on iOS.

Thank you for your carefully explaination. I started use Nostr Today, really love it.

Happy to help!! Glad you are enjoying it, it is a ton of fun, and ever evolving!

Also, some clients support delete. I think coracle.social does off the top of my head, maybe snort.social too?

Nostr is fun since it is an open protocol, each application/client that you use to access the network may be a little different, or way different with support feature support.

And you can choose which clients/apps/features suit you best.

Thanks. Good vibe here.

🫂🤜

Simple and clear 🚀

How do I add https://zapddit.com under social?

Thank you!

Here is the repository: https://github.com/zatzby/whynostr

You can raise issue or pull request there, others can too!

I will add https://zapddit.com though asap today! Thank you!

Thanks a lot 🙏

🤜🫂

Just added zapddit to social section on site.

Thanks for heads up!

🙏

Is it possible to bookmark or save posts here? Frustrating on Twitter to search bookmarks. This an example of a post I'd like to save and revisit when I get home.

Yes, you should be able to add a bookmark.

What client are you using?

If Damus click on three dots at top right of note, and click add bookmark.

Thanks! I'm on Amethyst so imagine it's somewhere along those lines

Yes, should be in there somewhere. Amethyst has lots of features and gets good praise by other users so you should be good there!

Can you add a ‘newly added’ to the drop-down, that just shows the latest 20 or so apps you’ve added?

I’d like to check back in and see if anything interesting has been created since last time.

I will investigate, I like that idea.

I am not sure how to implement that automatically, but I could have a recently added tab and then rotate out stuff once it's been a certain period of time. With that type of setup though it would be aribirtrary for users visiting and the recently added actually syncing up with their last visit,

Will look into it!!

Oh yeah I wouldn’t worry about syncing up with last visit as long as it’s in order, with newest on top.

I’d be happy scanning down the list until I get to some that are familiar.
