Nostr is changing fast, and that's a good thing. I made a "Nostr Wiki" a bit over a year ago (https://nostrwiki.vercel.app), but recently I've realized that a fair amount of the content is already outdated. Stuff has been happening and changing so quickly that a good deal of editing/omission is needed. That's actually a good thing. Means nostr is growing/maturing/evolving. Nothing worse than a project becoming stagnant.
i use primal and it seems fine to me, i don't post though because it just feels pointless, nobody every sees it anyway, unless you're an established person, it's just talking to the void like a lunatic

Gotta grind. Brick by brick.

I can see for myself how quickly everything is changing. At the beginning of the year I used nostr over primal very rarely.
I switched from my old podcast app to fountain.
Now primal is my go-to app every day, I regularly use zapstream for RHR and NoGoodRadio is running in the background right now.
Nostr is taking over my social media, podcast and livestream consumption. Let's see what it claims next.
It would be fucking cool to see a Nostr Messenger!

That looks super cool! Thanks!

Crazy how folks will listen on a whatever podcast app when you can listen on fountain and earn sats. Like listening to a radio station on radio A and earning zero, or listening to the same station on radio B and earning money. I had used the Google podcast app because it was simple and I like simple, somebody suggested fountain to me. As soon as I saw sats being earned, the other was immediately uninstalled.
reply
There are not many sats to earn these days, it feels like. 10 sats every other day on average is basically nothing. But yeah, at least you're not paying for a podcast app.

It's so cool to watch something grow so fast and organically. No center authority. Just a protocol. Sounds familiar...

Yes. When I first joined nostr, it was so bitcoin-centric (still is, love that) in discussion and with zaps (zapathons were so hot then), that I thought nostr was somehow actually part of bitcoin, an L2 or something. The two seemed so correlated, that's exactly why I wrote what's below on the "What is nostr" page.

It's incredible to see. I think we're in nostr season 3.

I noticed this when trying out stemstr. Looks like it has been abandoned.

We're testing the market with things. Some survive and some don't. It's a hard fact of nature but is a good thing and leads to improvement.

Its a shame that it went away so fast. I was just getting round to do some music collaboration.
Didn't get there in time. Maybe someone will pick it up again when the dude who started it comes back to nostr.

If there is development, it means it is better than before. I see more and more changes as time goes by, because many people are interested in using Nostr, hopefully in the future it will be more secure.
reply
It’s very easy to develop for. Now we just need the users.
reply
need the users.
Yep. I see the same people all the time in my feed, often with many of the same takes. Part of that is because I've been a bit frugal about who I follow. (Made the mistake in other places of doing the polite "follow back" policy and wound up with a bunch of people and content I really don't wish to have in my feed.) When I go to "global" to see what's up, there's lots of people (or bots), but it's also kind of weird.
reply
Yeah I had this problem as well just using Damus. But when I used primal and Amyhest (sp?) it got much better. One thing I like on Amythest is the one per follow work bot. You run that and you can see one note from everyone you follow.
reply
I lose a lot of hours understanding nostr concept but it seems little bit complicated.
reply
It takes a bit of messing around with for sure. The odd thing is, when I hear devs talk about nostr, they all say something like how it's crazy simple and how building on it is very open ended. From a user experience, it's different and requires a little getting used to. For me, getting the idea of setting up relays was a learning curve. That and how different clients showed things differently. I think part of it was/is having different relays on different clients. Now, I have them unified and the experience is more uniform.
