Google Plus! That brings back memories. I actually used it for a while.

I actually did. I can't remember too much about it, but if I recall it was an easy, clean UI. I remember trying this group thing called circles. I was enthusiastic at the beginning, but it never seemed to take off, and none of my family and friends were using it.

I'm not familiar with CryptPad. You gave me something new to explore.

CryptPad is great if you're primarily working with a small-ish group of rough&ready bit coiners. Teams of users that are expecting parity with Google or M$ are going to be disappointed.

I was so hyped about it when they dropped it, but it was a complete boondoggle, from my memory. Circles was a neat idea, but suddenly, I was responsible for maintaining a social network in two locations (FB & G+).
With the dual maintenance hinderence & with the still-fresh memory of dropping Wave, I didn't commit as hard as I could. Plus, as a community manager at the time, I was in the awkward position of trying to encourage the company to devote resources to the new thing, and the complexity of the social circle UX didn't make that push easy.
Circles were neat, and obviously NOSTR should take lots of inspiration from all that wonderful tech from 2008-14

haha.. I guess that is a funny way of saying that you haven't heard a lot of positive recollections from G+
As I recall it now, I guess G+ was the beginning of the end of my appreciation of the "big tech" things that I liked so much. It was around the time that Ross got pinched. It was around the time that Boston happened... I remember watching all that from my office in Beijing... while the US sleeping all the expat observers were blown away by what we watched. Scary.
