Brazilians typing 'kkk' (with no upper limit on the number of 'k's) are not referring to Ku Klux Klan, guys

The beautiful thing about Nostr is that even when clients compete with each other, as long as each one brings in new users, everyone wins. And if someone is doing a better job than you in a certain area, you can focus more on the features that set you apart. Peter Thiel says competition is for losers. Naval talks about escaping competition through authenticity. I tend to agree with both.

My vision for Ghostr is ambitious—very ambitious. Right now, the first version is just a clunky, amateur TikTok clone, but that’s a start. If I have the time and the health to see it through, Ghostr will evolve into a space that explores certain forms of social interaction—ones that have existed for as long as humans have but are becoming increasingly rare. As our lives and consciousness move deeper into cyberspace, and even our physical spaces are constantly recorded, something is being lost. I love the internet. It has slashed the cost of information distribution by orders of magnitude. But in a hyperconnected world with an unforgiving memory—where everything is recorded—society begins to expect you to act inhumanly.

They say that if you are not extremely ashamed of your first app version you didn't ship fast enough. Fair enough: here is the v. 0.0.1 of Ghostr:

Infinite video scroll. No login. No logo. Not available in stores yet. Few.

Time to build Ghostr for Android (our TikTok-like app on Nostr). I'm not proud of this version yet. Many many things to do, but it was honest work. Never shipped a mobile app before, so I learned a ton. It is already the best video consumer app for Nostr imo. It loads stuff fast. Data plan killer, as a you would expect for TikTok-like app. Working on profiles & search next, but also fixing bugs. https://image.nostr.build/d2476f3b40b223a54ba94436bfa435b2e20d47ebd294b5946322e3391a41c8e1.jpg.

Good clients are extremely hard to build. Shoutout to all Nostr developers.
