Confession: I have no idea why Nostr clients have a username as well as a regular name

As an iOS user, I like different things about each client. I want them all to combine. - Damus has the custom database for efficient device-first functionality. - Primal has the caching service for speed. - Nos Social has the user-first design that (for example) respects delete requests - Nostur pioneered the on-device custom feeds and algorithms More on-device compute utilization with cache only for supplementing superfluous things like follower counts. More respect for user intentions with things like delete requests, edit requests, etc.

Is python-nostr still being developed? Or is it basically feature complete and “finished”?

Everyone should check out the new Circles app built on Matrix protocol. https://circles.futo.org It is definitely inspiration for something that could be done on Nostr. I’d like to see more emphasis on private convos and more intimate connections. Products built for family for example. Maybe that just isn’t what Nostr is for. In which case, maybe Matrix is better.
