None of these apps qualify as Nostr "clients" to me. I am using this term with a (more or less) strict meaning, not to say they are bad or somehow not "legit". Not all things have to be Nostr clients, in fact most apps in the world should definitely not be Nostr clients. And at the same time most apps in the world would benefit from Nostr logins or some other form of light Nostr integration, which seems to be the case of all these apps that were "kicked" (well, relaytools is different, it is a relay provider service, so not really a customer-facing "app" in any sense).
I have used Hivetalk many times and I think it is very good and I'm glad it exists. Same for Relaytools. I'm also glad that Wavlake has whatever the Nostr integration they have (I've not used it myself).
nostrapps.com is not a list of "good apps", it's a list of "good Nostr clients", the criteria for that is not super well-defined, but basically the app has to strive for interoperability with other apps, it has to have a reasonable spec -- preferably a NIP -- that allows others to build independent apps that will interface (view, create, interact) with those core elements, using Nostr relays and events for coordination.

wtf are you talking about?
Your site should be renamed NostrClients.com and not nostrapps.com, you are contradicting yourself
what do you think about my meme
View quoted note βNostr.band is not a Nostr client
Npub.pro is also not really a Nostr client (CMS that pulls from Nostr)
Nos2x is a Nostr signing extension not a client
Amber is a remote signer not a client
Zapplepay is an external service
Nostrame is not either
my dear fren... y u no add Anonostr.com π
You left Yondar in the list ffs... it has zero users and even less development
I'm a simple pleb and use both hivetalk and cornychat regularly, signed in with my nostr npub and can post live notes FROM cornychat. Can you explain to someone that doesn't "dev" how that makes it NOT a nostr client?
People should make their own Nostr apps list. Let there be dozens. And then a Nostr apps list aggregator that is a list of Nostr app lists, that, since it uses the list kind, gets listed on the lists. List-ception is how we win.
fiatjaf is (not) the CEO of nostr.
GFY
What specific qualifications does Nests meet that Corny Chat does not?

I use 3 Nostr apps regularly. Amethyst, Corny Chat, and Hivetalk. But only one of those is a Nostr app? I don't see the logic there at all.

client is just one of many kinds of apps
a server is an app
a system service is an app
the GUI is an app
the computer is an app
it means something that does something
change it to "nostrclients.com" then
I would look at it the same way like a browser, an email application or ssh are also not "TCP clients", while strictly speaking they do use that protocol under the hood.
Or a real-world analogy: we do not define cars, bikes or motors like "road vehicles" even though they mostly use a road.
Hivetalk, Wavlake should be on the list imo. They may not have a full Nostr integration, but they serve a very good use-use where Nostr is offering a solution. And most people would not care but Iβm sure they will use it just because the apps works and the developers behind have the right intentions.

So instead of road vehicles lets call them vehicles.
He has an good conceptual understanding Hopefully based on a sort of a hierarchy which motivated him to do this in first place, so "I'd hear him out"
Fuck you fiatjaf !! π
Actually, all apps that allow for intercommunication should use public/private keypair signing, so yes, basically all apps will be nostr apps.
I'm sorry. Your little project is bigger than you now. Maybe time to take a more hands off approach.
Unless you prefer to be like Vitalik instead of Satoshi.
@fiatjaf you've created something amazing. Thank you, from myself and everyone else here.
I think you and the community should think about governance. I don't have the answers, I don't know how to do it correctly, but I know that people smarter than me could have ideas. As more people come into this space, without governance, there's going to be trouble. Consider other FOSS projects, other decentralized projects, and how they do it.
Just a thought. π€
If nostr.band isn't a nostr client then primal isn't too. Npub.pro is 100% nostr client - it talks to outbox relays of site authors and has 0 dependency on a particular server/relay.
