No, not that I’m still noticing, the threads navigating feels much more complete and intuitive… followers count still going down as it goes up elsewhere, but so what… most of all, thanks for asking !
I’m holding my breath for your ‘artstr’ design to be realised…
I think we may be at least as defined by what we don’t pay attention to, but unaware of how much…
I tend to like real words…
Of all those that have come to mind so far, that don’t appear to already be a brand, and may still have affordable domain options…

But will keep thinking…
Here’s a preview of “artstr” - working name..
I have other screens, but sharing what I linked together.
1. Focus on media (media-first)
2. Make it about the people, not nostr the tech, blossoms or payments (though everything will be powered by those things).
3. Discover new art and artists (promote new artists)
4. Home gallery - requires skin in the game to have you stuff shown here - maybe a nostr address qualifier with revocation for abuse.
5. You can upload anything you like, but gallery views will prioritize original art not generated stuff. People might sneak in too, but risk revocation of nostr address (a qualifier to be in the gallery).
6. Tagging of uploaded media as “Original” or “Generated”. You must select one or the other. If tagged as Original, automatic barring from being used for AI training. This will be spelled out in terms of use. Violators can be held liable by the artist.
7. Generated art will not be subject to the above rule.
8. Emphasize sharing and bookmarking. This needs to work well, and we probably can’t use njump for this. Eventually users might be able to create collections and share their entire collections (maybe somehow zap split, not sure).
9. Zaps not visible unless the person adds a lightning address. Taking Signal’s approach here - focus on the purpose of the client, payments are secondary.
Selling art, collaborations, zap splits are all great ideas but too much for V1, or even V2, could be something for down the road.
I will review all of the other feedback that you guys left for me yesterday and categorize / design if applicable and doable.
I welcome further feedback / push back / criticisms, anything you want to throw at me.

This looks really interesting, and your ‘aims’ list is a great set of base points… a very useful approach
There’s nothing like this, that might properly allow and platform personal portfolio collections of artists’ content offers within this social space… although the need is clearly more than strong
It’s not difficult to see how, for many of us, this could help to add a further sense and visibility to posting original visual content here… in ways that would in turn then foster further content creation and engagement
I suspect it would get picked up and populated, and start to work, pretty quickly…

I’ve rarely shared much of my physical drawings online, the digital documentation only ever really asserts the image… and the image is usually such a small part of what I’m working through with them as objects
There’s clearly a more immediate sense to the photo and graphic work here, for obvious reasons… rendering in the same way (if not at the same scale or resolution) as I made it, without too much translation
But I do want to find ways to begin to record and share something of this new series of paper works, or at least fragments of them, as and however they develop… So I’ll keep trying
I’m calling and thinking about them as a series of ‘small dilemmas’, which can of course be taken as literally or poetically as anyone might choose or like
To thread them together, I’ll be using the tags #dilemma and #smalldilemmas on related notes… any of my visuals with those tags here will be part of this process, original, and hand drawn…

Looked like they may not really bother this year, but our old roses have finally come out to play !
All the best for the weekend everyone…

And I’m guessing it may not have been the song you would have chosen to be woken by… But I have been there, and there are worse ways to wake up…
Hi Spade, and welcome…
Working through what feels like it could be another ‘small dilemma’ here. I’ve been sharing the room with this one for a few days now, and we may finally be finding a way to get along…
I think my only real starting point for this series of drawings was a lack of both assumption and expectation…
And in all the space and possibilities that left open, it feels like some of these dirty little marked bits of paper are starting to assert a will of their own…

And the prize for “who’s going give me the biggest smile of the day” goes to…
Hello there, and welcome… There’s lots to explore, some of which just doesn’t make any sense… But ask if you have questions, there’s usually someone around with suggestions…
