Fair enough. And maybe DARE was onto something with the whole gateway drug thing.

Same. It doesn't pass every purity test. But they never seem to move the ball forward in any meaningful way.

I've seen people complain about the wallet tech and some other things. I'm not personally offended by anything in particular. It works quite well for me. And I'm all for "pure" tech if it works. Most of it doesn't yet, or not very well. Which I think drives many users away.

There are various purity tests in this space. I think it's good that we have those options, but not every app needs to be that way. Not every user is the same.

Looking forward to iOS drop bro And congrats on getting a grant, you deserve it 💯

Keep at it!

I'm new to nostr and interested to know why some users left. I'll check out wisp too

Let me know when the ISO version is released so I can suggest it to those people. Also the android version is not compatible with my budget Nokia phone, I get that issue a lot, not just nostr apps but many other things, so I kinda expect it, but just mentioning it incase it might be addressed.

I've been meaning to ask for a while about what Wisp really is. Haven't had the bandwith. Tell me about it and the best pathway to experience and test it out.

Is there a way to change background color to white?

Folks leave Nostr all the time. The reasons vary, I'm sure. For many, it could be the the UX. There are a lot of things Nostr clients generally expect of their users that are completely foreign to them, and there's not much for up-front explanation or guidance. For others it could be that they just couldn't find the their tribe here. There's a bunch of Bitcoiners, devs, and freedom-tech enthusiasts, but if you are burnt out on those topics, or just looking for something else in general, you have to do some digging to find it. For still others, it may be that Nostr is a very interesting experiment, but they could never convince enough of their established social circle to move here, so they went back to where their people are, even if it is objectively the worse option. A smaller number left because they think that Nostr has failed in its goal of being censorship resistant, because relay owners can limit who can post to their relay, clients can automatically hide content from spammers, and users can limit who has access to their attention using tools like Web-of-Trust. Some others have left because they think Nostr is too censorship resistant, since it can't completely prevent objectionable or illegal content from being posted. We had a CSAM spammer a while back who really made Nostr an unpleasant place for those who didn't have their relay configuration set up well, and I am sure that caused some folks to flee for "safety." And there are probably a whole lot of other reasons I didn't think of or didn't mention. That said, Nostr is still the only truly decentralized and censorship resistant social protocol out there. It is also incredibly flexible and easy to build on, as exemplified by the wide variety of apps using Nostr under the hood. We have your expected Twitter-clones, long-form clients, music apps, fitness trackers, divine, and even a VPN that uses Nostr on the back-end. And all of it using a digital identity that can log into every single new Nostr app, without any centralized account authority. Nothing else comes close to what Nostr has achieved.

No shade, you do you, man. 👍

Haters gonna hate!

wen wisp ios? I still have this junk. But excited to try it out

Those who are always there also like it

Thank you @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻

Same. I asked the other day but no reply yet…he’s probably busy building 👷‍♂️ That being said, even an PWA or website access would be stellar

Can you explain this a bit more? Like what is wisp fixing for those who left NOSTR 🤷‍♂️ (I seem to be out of the loop) And isn’t wisp a NOSTR client anyways?! (With much needed added functions)?

It is a beautiful client, however without bunker support I think it will be a tough sell. I mean literally the very first thing pounded into your head is do not put your nsec into a client. I appreciate the problematic nature of working with external sources for your internal source code, however this seems like it's an area that is extremely problematic in general. That said as long as I can use my bunker, I will continue to use Wisp, it's just super clean and super fast. I hope the change makes things easier for you, but i also really hope that some standardized buker protocol comes about that will make working with external providers easier.

That all makes sense. Discovering content without an algorithm serving it up is interesting and refreshing. I can sense how it can feel like an echo chamber at times. But I’m here for it

I didn't know I had to turn it on 🤦

How did I not know this?

Sexy right

It's like normie eye candy, besides the APK link. 😅

That's not a complaint by the way. More people need to know what an APK is . 😁

Its hard to promote using nostr without referring to nostr. Imagine trying to tell everyone in the 1990s that they need to get hip to this new thing called HTTP rather or SMTP rather than a website or email service.
