Hahaha, I can just hear the 4 year old's voice #whyeverything
That's already how I use them.
I've got lists of farmers, musicians, devs, etc... and use these as filters depending on the use case.
No real point in creating a list if it's not to categorize Npubs under an umbrella that useful to you.
Also, why even use question marks. 😂
Why ask users to compute how much they trust Alice for curating content about gardening carrots in the tropics and every other specific thing.
Why not instead pay DVM's with access to all this public Nostr data to do it.
Follows = Npubs you want to see more of = not spam
Profile lists = You categorizing Npubs in certain categories = filter per category
For what use case are these not enough? #WoT
We don't need users to go and input how much they trust Alice for X and Bob for Y.
So far I've not come across one WoT problem that cannot be solved by just using:
A. Follow lists
B. Computation done by competing DVM's #WoT
Yup 💯 I was a technology teacher for refugees for a year, as my first job, and that's exactly what all the other childless teachers would talk about all day.
Magicking things up is and always will be just combining existing stuff in cool ways.
In this case: Instagram meets Hypernotes.
It's the bell curve meme.
You either don't overthink it or you reeeaaally overthink it to the point where you know it's the most selfish thing you'll ever do.
Using the pity people have for the immigrants' family bonds to destroy their own is especially sad.
Yup exactly, that UI is great and is very much like a simple one page website builder.
I don't care about the people that will go to Instagram anyway.
I care about Nostr being awesome for me and the early adopting creators on here.
Onboarding normies is a byproduct of that.
Stories as mini-html pages is 🔥, I need it and will make it happen,
I tried this before and it's hard to make it clear enough that they are separate posts. Chat bubbles really are great for this.
Just dropping the username and keeping Pfp's works tho.
Having them come up to me and ask questions about Time.
At least we'll have grandchildren to hate us 🥰
Start small, get good, scale up
I'm slowly realizing that very few here now what Instagram stories are 🤦.
It's a way to share pictures, videos, quotes, ... It has a super easy tool built in to put text, buttons, polls, etc on that background. They typically have an expiration date (but don't have to) You can make just one or "chain" multiple in a sort of story Users swipe through the stories of the people they follow, they can comment, like and quote them in their own stories.
Anyway, I see great potential in a html meets Nostr version of all that, as an awesome tool for creators.
