I’m going to learn svelte tomorrow. They put in all that work to make the learning courses. Might as well do it!

Social media should be a place of action. The UX should discourage static identities and encourage dynamic action.
Result: more cohesion, less quibbling, shared values expressed organically cc @Thank God For Nostr Podcast View quoted note →
Social media should focus less on your “brand” (which is static) and more on your actions.
When setting up an account, prompt user:
- what have you done
- what are you doing
- what are you going to do
This tells you so much more than a “bio”
@JeffG question about NDK filters:
Do the filters assume that each tag will only contain 2 values? The tag letter and the value? Or would the NDK filters work with a tag like this:
[“r”, “url”, “title”, “id”]
?
The hard part is incentivizing the maintenance and upkeep of multiple different open networks.
An admin needs to run a nostr node, a simplex node, and some other node? All on different networks with their own costs involved.
Or an admin can just run a nostr node and let it be a generic dumb pipe for everything, incentivized with just one economy instead of 3+ View quoted note →
What is nprofile? I just saw it in the Gossip Github repo. Why would someone want an nprofile instead of just giving an npub?
Similar to Bitcoin, in these early days of Nostr, people will assume that it is safer and more private than it is.
Focusing on user protections and best practices will be key. The majority of users won’t want their posts to be public by default when they find out the hard way the risk that entails.
Once your note is signed, the world has hard proof that it’s yours and you have ZERO control after you send that to a relay.
Compare to Mastodon which is much more focused on users. View quoted note →
Someone just told me that they will join Nostr when the network is big enough that they don’t have to interact with bitcoiners 😂
Farcaster (Nostr on Ethereum) is going to charge $5 per year for users.
To me, that is a fantastic price point. It reminds me of old school Whatsapp. The only question is *how do we get Nostr to work at that price point?*
