Ok, thank you, I see now.
But then, the examples you gave are fully covered by Nostr already (either by existing or potential functionality). Calendars and events where already developed. Mail has been discussed, but, shouldn't be that far from current DMs. Can't you build upon that?
I love Nostr, but I currently don't see a viable path to bootstrapping critical mass. The idea here is to leverage an existing, massive social graph to bypass this issue and I can see integrating Nostr at some point.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm being a Nostr maximalist.
But that explains your point better, in that you want to harvest what's already in place. Still I don't see why that can't be implemented on Nostr, using it's infrastructure, but connecting the dots based on external information. I think that way you will not only get the best of both worlds but also immense community support, which is another factor to consider if you want to harvest existing potential.

I do think we can implement nostr. It's just that it's not relevant for the initial phase which is about achieving user adoption. I think nostr is great for handling identity long-term, but that would require an already popular platform educating users about nostr rather than the other way around.

Ok! I'm no social-networks expert. I wish you the best!
