Unless #nostr developers really start working toward more "professional" software development and testing, commercial closed-source products are going to dominate. Users demand products that work, and work consistently. They don't care about how much work you put into this shiny thing or how exhausted you are. They will use what products work. Those are the rules, it's not up to me or you.

I say this as someone who has not made a dime from nostr, loves open source, and is invested the community.

I couldn't agree more but I've been struggling with e2e testing for an app that interacts with a lightning bot via nostr. Tools like Polar make this easier but it's a lot of moving parts and there's only so much you can do with mocking

Your're right, and I say this because I'm not trained developer myself! But I'm learning because I care that building gets better any my tools get used!

Also what matters is you're trying!

Nostr works, that’s why I’m reading what you wrote. There is not a single closed source place where you could have written that and I’d ever see it. I’m just a user and I’m only on Nostr. Thanks #nostr developers!
