what a wholesome experiment, keep it up with the updates!
noogle.lol is a dedicated search client but not too many advanced search options there yet
nostr.band can do the job, too
I think of Nostore but it seems like it only works in Safari:
You can typically find most Nostr-related tools here: https://nostr.net/
this reminds me of a conversation with a no coiner friend who is into finance and programming. He is simply stuck on the:
"If Bitcoin is so great as you're telling me, why isn't everyone [in the mainstream] saying so?"
I don't think there's any grand media conspiracy, excluding dedicated BDS haters. People are not using it themselves. Maybe they tried setting up a wallet at some point but it was somewhat weird. The vast majority of normies who interacted with it did it via Coinbase or other shitcoin casinos, where it's just another crazy thing to bet on.
People simply don't get it and diffusion of innovation takes time. Setting up your wallet takes time. Getting bitcoin takes time. Learning about self-custody takes time. Lightning takes time. Getting to quality resources of information takes time.
Most people wish they bought Bitcoin earlier. Heck, everyone does. But dedicating time to through the steep adoption curve is complicated. And you can't even begin to grasp Bitcoin if you don't recognize the problems in the current system. The way things are today seem normal to people - we're living it, using a bank is normal way of doin things.
In this setting, offering any sort of alternative comes across as radical in the society of complacency, where everyone is trying to win approval and fit in. And in this period of scammers, shitcoining and MLM's being cautious about Bitcoin doesn't seem ultimately bad, though I have to admit it is disappointing.
The people I had no trouble orange-pilling already had a genuine need for it. They get it instantly and their eyes light up when you talk about it. Others are lost in the ocean of blind trust or shitcoining (gambling). Best we can do right now is lead by example and offer a way out for the curious one's.
Bitcoin information landscape is better than ever and my hope is that it's only going to improve moving forward. The growth of stacker.news itself is a prime example of this. We won't be able to influence the change to the degree we'd like to until we have popular publications and forums built on Bitcoin itself, driven by Bitcoiners. It's happening and the way forward is clear but lots of work to do still.

next discussions and new proposals for this will be back in autumn. They have to pass some form of child protection regulation by 2026 from what I've read since existing child protection measures will expire by then
