Nostr is good at resisting suppression of public messages It’s not really designed to be a great private messenger/DM architecture I know some people were working on better DM stuff on nostr (@hodlbod, others?) Then there are different architectures/ideas like SimpleX, Keet, and maybe KeyChat coming soon. What are the best DM/messaging tools today that fully open source, secure, and private?

Would nostr benefit from nostr-exclusive content? I think a lot about the incentives for traditional creators and nostr doesn’t yet have them. So I suspect we need more homegrown creators/content rather than attempting to attract existing creators with large audiences elsewhere. zaps could be meaningful to creators someday, but they’re not enough yet at today’s scale

When you invest your time or money somewhere you’re making a decision about your taste, preferences, what you support, and what you want to see in the world. I like to support builders and the innovations that people bring to the world by spending my time/money on helping new projects get started or succeed just a little bit faster. But I’m still using my personal judgment/opinion. I can’t recuse myself from the outcomes as generically “just supporting innovation”. I think a lot of the overstuffed ecosystem of startups and venture capital like to hide behind the positive vibes of “supporting innovation” to imagine they’re not responsible for the choices they make. Everyone’s time and money is limited. Spend it on what you want to see in the world.

@Kieran 👋! I tried zap.stream today. first off, thanks for building this. It was exactly what I needed (once I figured it all out 😝) do you have a recommendation for where/how to host videos once they are streamed? are there any common destinations you see other people who use zap.stream publish the VOD videos? 🙏

One of the biggest challenges for professional creators on nostr is that “own your audience” takes a distant second to “grow your audience” in almost all cases how do we improve this? how do we help creators grow their audiences on nostr?

paradoxically: software development is both 1) the most likely human activity to be accelerated by AI 2) the least likely human activity to obsoleted by AI
