Shipped a relatively bug free Nos to the App Store. Facilitated the pivot to Communities.

Would you be willing to do a quick card sorting exercise with us next week on this topic? We’d love to hear what resonates with you!

You do not need to be a Nos user for this round of research! Anyone new to Nostr or who struggled to onboard is welcome to get in touch!

If you are someone who felt a bit lost when you first encountered Nostr or know people who came and left, the Nos team is interested in speaking with you! Send me a DM or reply to this message!

nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 asked, "What does a Nostr Community Growth Team look like?"

Maybe a coalition of folks from the different teams working on Nostr? Team Damus, Team Primal, Team nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg, etc all joining together virtually to foster growth is what comes to my mind.

I’m on Team #V4V, which includes my podcast, #RadioDetox, nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy, Wavlake, nostr:npub1h8gzew8am6cezuq7cpjgudldra40hgnruqrqlsrqnxnzs5wjtczqztps02, nostr:npub1gr65v2hqq83n3vqfh6m65eej65hxlqwyjp0echc9ghvw5p6pvqpse3mmjc, nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5, & nostr:npub1t6njrhtc9q3f5wdrwfrhpypq3kes5mpdx4u4rw9w2pxjanuxcpkqveagv3.

(Much of the above stems from nostr:npub1jwev660jrdrfeaw2u9sssv3v4jgsxqs32qmd5yhpgzlesg5j0gase4qha6)

I’ve onboarded 4 people to Nostr and I’m observing them having the same experience I had:

You join, kick some tires, and go, “OK, this is cool, but now what?” You don’t “get it” yet or don’t get the interaction you’d hoped for so you bounce for a bit. The learning curve scares you off. Or maybe you just don’t use it often enough because you’re still having to “be everywhere” to promote music or business.

I joined Feb 2023 and didn’t come back til the end of the year.

I just onboarded 2 coworkers who didn’t need my help setting up wallets and who haven’t been very active.

I onboarded a social media client of mine who likes it but doesn’t have the time to be active and who wants to learn more about Bitcoin. (Because, again, we’re very Bitcoin-centric here).

I onboarded nostr:npub10e6utz6xjhjz8juv2kwp8t7dmn0l9juukrzs04pw9s8qtl4dcrts733v0p, who hasn’t been active since. He’s a musician in the UK with a day job, and I keep poking at him to get on here more.

Which leads me to the purpose of #RadioDetox, and that is to tell the V4V story. I’ve so far had 3 music artists plus one music business executive on as guests. An interview with a dev is next.

I’m currently on a journey to talk to a few devs and BTS folks right now to make sure the podcast covers this aspect of the story.

I do plan to get back to talking with people like Chris to see what their impression of Nostr is (so far). Radio Detox is about detoxing off the old systems of the music business, money, and social media.

Guests (so far) like Ainsley, nostr:npub17yemy3hswcelmcdgjsfn4sns4wr4q5ptvj5h08qt4s7fy2qe3hdqsczs99, and nostr:npub1ucgf8qyuxpqrkape9mqc20qmcs9nxe8axy069edfr8hkcl5tlhssueflfw have shown a good use case for V4V using Wavlake and Tunestr.

I’ve talked to nostr:npub1a6c3jcdj23ptzcuflek8a04f4hc2cdkat95pd6n3r8jjrwyzrw0q43lfrr, who runs Tunestr about the use case there and where he sees that headed.

There’s so much potential here and we’re only getting started.

I was talking with Phantom Power about how some of what we talk about on RD can become case studies in this movement.

I agree 💯 that we need a plan or program of some kind to support the creators we onboard. It can’t be just, “Hey come join!” And then we walk away… We also need to ensure these creators gain traction by being active on here and sharing content, which means some community involvement. The #Nostr community as a whole needs to embrace these creators—whether they’re in music, art, photography, etc.

If you want to continue the #GrowNostr conversation, LMK 🔥

If you are one of the people who came to Nostr and struggled to find your way, we at Nos would love to talk to you. We’re exploring some new onboarding concepts and are specifically looking for folks who did not have an easy landing. You can send me a DM or reply to this message and I’ll reach out to you directly!

Ohh what app(s) are you using? This is a bug a bunch of us are trying to track down and resolve. Also what relays did you remove? You can send this info via DM if you prefer. Thanks!

And some govt services are good. Like the fire department and the weather service to name two.

Wtf? We should get NOAA on here. https://wapo.st/3AXVSfb

It was nice to see huge expanses of sky again this weekend.

Important question! The Google answer is a fair point- they have a history of walking away from projects.

Great advice on how to compress video!

I’m glad it’s helpful. I fixed a few typos this morning and will repost in an hour or so.
