Nostr New Year Predictions 2023 and 2024

Last year, I predicted that we'd see popular #Bitcoin node OS platforms launch #Nostr relays and clients in 2023. BOOM! Called it! This actually happened in the first half of the year. Every single one of these platforms added support for multiple Nostr clients and relays, allowing Nostriches to be truly sovereign over their social graph.

Do you run any of these applications on these platforms?

Looking ahead at 2024, I believe we'll see the following with Nostr:

1) Algorithms: From personalized feeds powered by a curated algorithm store to seamless trending and user discovery on all platforms, advanced algorithms will be instrumental in shaping the user experience.

2) Onboarding and Discovery: As Nostr's technical infrastructure stabilizes, the client focus will shift towards streamlined user onboarding and engagement strategies. This will include the implementation of well-defined onboarding flows and user retention programs across all popular clients.

3) Mainstream Success: A breakthrough moment for Nostr's 'Other Stuff' ecosystem is imminent! We'll see a strong contender emerge as a mainstream user favorite. This could be any of the established client applications such as Zap.stream, Flare.pub, Flockstr.com, or Yondar.me, or even a yet-to-be-unveiled application built upon Nostr. Who's building it?

4) Active Users: We'll hit 1M monthly active users. As clients become fine tuned and more robust, the user experience will retain user activity, allowing us to reach new highs, thanks to the success of Nostr's mainstream "Other Stuff" client mentioned above.

Though challenging, these goals are fully within reach through our community's commitment to developing robust applications, engaging content creators, and fostering new communities within the Nostr ecosystem. Keep building, Nostriches. None of us are bullshit enough.

Happy New Year 2024!

Happy New Years Nostr.

What a spectacular day to welcome in the new year. Let’s take this time to renew the struggle to build a better common humanity, ending war, occupations, oppression, and borders which divide us. Humans evolved intelligence so that we survive better together, in community. The solutions come from doing the messy work of dismantling old institutions and building new better ones to replace them.

Happy New Year! 🎆 2024

Both of my elderly grandmothers are in the hospital. The 97 year old has the flu. The 87 year old has COVID. Both were really bad yesterday, but better today. Fluids and oxygen have done wonders. These ladies have had immense impact on my life, always being there for me and spoiling me, even as an adult. I deeply worry about them and hope they make speedy recoveries. I'm sure they'll be fine. I'm not ready to have them leave my life yet.

I have a date 🥹 with a possibly kind, wonderful man 🙏🏽🫂💜

Or he’s an ass 🥲…

But it’s a start in the right direction ☺️ plus I kinda miss dating. Has been a long break.

Hiya Connie, hope you’re feeling better today 🫂

Good morning Nostriches! 💜🧡🫂

Well it’s the last day of 2023 in the future and soon we’ll be entering a brand new year!

The day is looking nice after a massive storm yesterday which has left many without power.

Counting down the hours about 17 more left 🎉🥂
