Branching out on Nostr Apps
548 sats \ 5 comments \ @joelaw 16 Mar nostr
First time posting on stacker.news. I have enjoyed Nostr but realize I have not tried many other Nostr Apps out there. Going to give stacker.news a try now.
As most Nostriches know, there's a plethora of applications being built on the nostr protocol. Here is a good list so far (sharing this for new npubs) https://www.nostrapps.com/
Scanning through the list, you'll see a "Careers" tab on the left. There is a Nostr App called Ostrich Work that I will explore this weekend: https://ostrich.work/
I am a simple pleb in meat space, but like the newness of this open protocol. I'm excited to see this space evolve.

Are you planning on building anything? Have any ideas on how some things can be implemented?

No plans at the moment. I tend to think of ideas and not do anything with them. That may change, but for now safe to say I'm just an explorer.
As far as how things can implemented, what do you mean?

Ah okay, nice:)
I meant some ideas on approach of how things can be executed on nostr, in different manner rather than just some sort of social network. Possibilities seems endless but still somewhat blurry to me.

I gotcha. Well from a simple pleb's perspective, it's a bit like venturing out west on the Oregon Trail only there is very little risk of life threatening injuries. Bring with you 1.) an open mind 2.) verify, never trust 3.) Assume everyone is a scammer.
With those tools, you can make this experience whatever you want it to be. You can curate whatever you want. You can mute and ignore whatever you want. The Nostr protocol is the antithesis of the new norm, which is manipulate and mislead the consumer into what WE want you to think.
I'm hearing Nostr will replace email. Would be nice, but we will see. I think it can happen, just a matter of user adoption picking up enough for it TO happen.
It will obsolete legacy social media, as well as mainstream media (as in where you get your news from). I'm already sold on this, more of an if not when at this point.
As far as approach on how to execute things, the individuals really have all the power. Devs are individuals here, as well as users.
Not sure if this is helpful or what you were looking for, but it's a start. :)

It is helpful! Thanks :)
Surely, it remains to build and improve :). In my humble opinion it seems like it needs lots more work to be done to make it more user friendly so user adoption becomes less of an issue. I came a week ago and this whole concept and possibilites sparkled huge interest in me to create and see where it can go.
