number of clients, is it increasing or decreasing?
Seems stagnant since noStrudel came on the scene.
are most clients social-media type apps? Or are there clients that do some very different things? If so, what are they doing?
Twitter is still key use case
outside of the internal Nostr ecosystem, do you see more or less apps/websites/software implementing nostr features (identification, NWC, etc)?
Fountain just added, wavlake, and SN
do you see non-bitcoin people using it?
Some but not much
are there more or less devs active in the Nostr community over time?
Can't tell, maybe some more but not noticeable
is it truly a decentralizing force for good? Or do people end up falling back on centralized implementations for efficiency/speed/convenience reasons?
It seems to be decentralized enough relaywise but hasn't been challenged except by spam and bots.
are you confident about Nostr's future? Or will it remain niche?
More confident about some parts like public key distribution and open network model but still unclear why most people would adopt it.
how is Nostr comparing to the other solutions to censorship? In terms of growth/tech/adoption/...?
is funding increasing? Do we see for-profit entities entering the field?
Not much commerce. It seems devs have decent funding. Not much coverage in tech.
are you bullish on Nostr? Will we see a future where the likes of X, etc get defeated? Or will it always be a niche thing?
I think it'll be niche but it can serve an essential role as an outlet valve and venue for exit. Comes in most handy when accounts and sites are taken down.
