Nostr Web Client

I'm glad it's not just me. I feel like the statement has merit. I don't think I hate it as much as he seems to, but I do think there's a lot of holes in our thought around how this thing works.

The concept of owning your own data or identity is also very interesting because all you own is your private key. Your data is really kind of everybody's.

I love nostr. I love the experiment. I love the community. I don't want something like Twitter. I love seeing new tech built on it like #getsafebox.

But it really is sort of digital ham radio.

Main issue is people are wanting it to be something it’s not. IMO the biggest value proposition is actually that you can build your reputation/network, take it to multiple applications, and have it be useful. This reputation can be pseudonymous, but it’s actually a lot more useful (and valuable) if you’re just you.

Exactly. Nostr’s value prop for individuals, what Eric said, is the same for app developers as well.

The fact that data on Nostr is managed by the user, available to all apps, and owned by none IS ACTUALLY the brilliant thing that makes Nostr such a sovereignty respecting protocol BOTH for end user and the apps that they use.
