Would offering complete client customization be a way of attracting the MySpace nostalgic fans to nostr?

This is interesting to me as the great divide between myspace and Facebook in large part revolved around people no longer visiting profiles often, and instead just getting stuff fed to them in a single feed. It would be cool to have some enhanced control over profile though to mark things like..
- favorite X other accounts, with short lavels (e.g. cool dev, great wine maker, zapper)
- top X notes (I wrote or others)
- full color controls for the profile view of background, text, links and, background image with sane defaults
HellllllL mf yaaaa call it MyNostr.
I'm sure that at some point there will be a client which will be close to that. MySpace customs were crazy! 😀
Whhhat, never heard of it. This is crazy 😆
Wow, this is taking me back
Make a skin builder like the old winamp days
Be careful what you wish for.
The developers here can do anything!

I'm not sure about MySpace nostalgic users, but that'd still WordPress/Tumblr users wouldn't it? People who run blogs love feature like that.
We must resurrect the scrolling marquee HTML tag.

I remember finding code for Tumblr themes back in the day.
Yeah I was on Tumblr.
Shut up.
Background unstoppable music please
I can kinda read and chop HTML to make things work, please just let me drag and drop
I kind of had the reverse of that idea. Allow notes to carry some amount of styling that the note author could create.
It would probably be pure chaos in a Twitter-like timeline, but in another style of client, it would allow authors to present some sort of visual style to the readers.
😅
This is actually a very good idea: View quoted note →
Are there people actually nostalgic about myspace out there ?
YES
MyNostr
But only if dark mode is #000000 😉
Yeeeep. Like I was saying, something as straightforward as how Slack does it would make a world of difference in the customization.
And honestly might free devs up to work on more things if they didn’t want to stress too hard over styling additional themes.
I loved it. Nostr myspace basically gives everyone their own website over nostr. A dns killer. It's actually a huge idea. @HoloKat
We gotta get Tom on here
Winamp ⚡ 😄 🤙
I think something similar to creating a webpage on WordPress would be cool, you can drag and drop all the UI elements you want, change their icons and stuff, and then you click submit and it compiles a client for you would be very cool. I'm skeptical of building those features into existing clients would work well, it seems like any program that does that lags like a mofo.
As a separate matter I think having a similar tool to create something like a storefront would be awesome. I can imagine a store where the seller could live stream themselves building the products in the center with a few products arranged along the sides, and then you can live chat the seller asking information about the products.
First question pop up in my mind, what is my space🤣
😂
I think people should be able to set up their own client vibes, relays, etc. If they want to create their own social ecosystem totally separate they can.
Nostr needs a second community to adopt it. Communities can join together later like voltron.
Would love to see nullsoft come back with an Umbrell relay Winamp player.. that would be sweet and finally give me access to my entire library where my VPN let me go.
What do you mean?
No biggie 😂
Yes but why?
Lots of nice clients out there already...
I'd hunt more around the user needs / problems to solve. This seems more on just fun side.
Agreed.
Yes and also fun to support existing Devs with sats.
That would be the ultimate marketing play for nostr. Whilst Elon, zuck etc are fighting over censorship and data hoarding social media platforms good guy Tom from MySpace sweeps in with a "build your own" social media app built on nostr that doesn't do any of the corporate bullshit like threads or twitter and brings the fun back into social media.
Mainstream media would go nuts over the underdog story. Just need to make sure the tools are in place to make sure people can easily onboard.
This would be very cool even if just as an experiment. No doubt it would be chaos though.
Winamp style skins for nostr
Yep! This is the beauty of nostr.
🫂
Yes.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
But only with frameset, table layout and spacer.gif
That should be hanged at Louvre
You decide what kind of hanging
Nostrsites is still criminally underreported on and I don't know why nostrsites.com/rico
BRING THIS SHIT BACK MAKE THIS MAINSTREAM AGAIN
I have that idea for linktr, using nip78 to achieve it 👌
🟩🖖🧱😏 
Been saying this for quite sometime now
I think it's a great idea

What is that?
I put out a zaps enabled version of damus called https://sideus.app for side loading…
but this is my personal custom tweaks build on top of it, just messing with the color, and app icon, and I switched the default reaction
trying to get better at swift in the process
