Hey Nostr. Next week i will be starting my PoDcAsTiNg ToUr proselytizing Nostr on whatever podcast that will have me. Right now i have 4 appearences scheduled, hopefully more will come. There is not much rhyme or reason to what sort of shows these are, other than they appearently they want to talk about Nostr.
As mouth of Sauron, i mean Ostrich, there is 1 thing i am still stuck on, and that is the 'call to action' part.
Inevitably the question will come what people can or should do. Now to be clear, i am there to talk about Nostr, not a particular app, or even usecase. I want to give context, explain etc. Generally i think we are still in the innovator/early addopter stage, and those type of people frankly don't need many pointers other than a general pointer to the thing itself. I think it is overall useless to send people to app X,Y,Z, with half assed instructions, only for them to give up after 5 minutes.
So, how would you approach this? Broadly the #introductions seems to work, i guess...
Just spitballing here, but perhaps "we" (if you read this that means you, yes you in particular, no not that other guy, you) could come with a feature poor bare bones "my first Nostr app" that focusses on two things:
1: provide immediate social environment, so perhaps the #introductions is the default feed or something like that.
2: is geared towards explaining all the things, and showcasing all kinds of Nostr apps that are out there. So a tab with explainer videos and documentaries, a tab with explainer articles etc.
And i gues the point is more or less the combination of those two things, a social environment that welcomes noobs and helps them allong. Where the whole premis of the app is that you 'graduate' away from it. At which stage you download a 'regular' Nostr app whilst already bare-minimum bootstrapped and with enough understanding to find your own way. (Maybe even deliberately build in all these pitfalls where the app tries to trick you into leaking your nsec, confronting you with the consequences, forcing you to start overπ)
Something like that would make my work a lot easier because then i dont have to either pick teams/sides recommending a particular app, nor pre-explain a bunch of basic steps to ensure they even can get started.
Anyway...
Ceterum censeo NIP-03 omnibus esse utendum
