If you've:

1. Been here a while

2. Deleted your Twitter account, say, > 6 months ago

3. Feel like nostr is stagnant or dying

I recommend the following:

1. Visit X.

2. Scroll any thread for 30 seconds are more. Pick one at random.

3. Close X.

4. Take 5 deep, cleansing breaths.

5. Open your nostr client of choice.

6. Smile and rejoice.

I can appreciate Nostr's value and also understand that user growth is stagnant and/or on a decline. App development is off the charts though. I'm working hard to bring the two together. More ideas. More apps. More freedom. More user choices.

I don't think more apps is the solution to the most pressing challenges. Better UX and QA are.

But I do think that more experimentation is better. And more Derek is definitely better. 🫂

I'm hoping more apps adds to more experiences and more interoperability. And yes I agree absolutely, we need much better UX and more stable apps. The concept of Nostr is cool and understandable by many, but in practice the apps have to be able to compete on stability and usability or no one is going to use them after the honeymoon phase.

I would recommend focusing on the onboarding process. Various clients and two different long strings of gibberish keys is a lot for a standard user to take in all at once. I know some other people have discussed follow groups and I think that's a great idea.
