Dear Designers,
This is a RANT from a dev to designers and UI people. Also, I design and build UIs too, so this is not in bad faith.. But..
You try to spoon feed users. Make the experience for your app so similar to other apps, that they dont feel any friction at all, or atleast thats the goal.
But sometimes you make the experience so similar for the user, that you lose sight of what makes the app different in the first place.
Sometimes the paradigm shift is necessary, instead of taking the challenge to educate the users you try to take the easy route and treat the user like a dumb slop eating machine.
The user is a dumb slop eating machine.
Which is why its even more necessary to create UIs to empower them, not hide away all the hard parts.
Sometimes, the whole point is for them to stop eating sugar.
But all you focus is how you can make brocolli taste more like sugar.
We need more designers and UI engineers to take on the hard part, to help users make the leap from legacy systems to sovereig systems, to educate them in a least effort manner.
But most of the times all we focus on is how to make sovereign systems look more like legacy systems.
And yes, sovereign systems dont need to suck, and dont need to look ugly ot be tremendously hard to use, but they also do not need to be clones of their legacy countetlarts to succeed. We can definitely do better here.
I hope this goes through to someone, just #mytwosats #rant over.
The difference between the nostr social credit Score(WoT) and the CCP score is that, on nostr everybodys social credit score is calculated with respect to you, deterministically and dynamically. Instead of a central authority telling you what the trust is for each person.
So if you follow a democrat other democrats will see q slightly increased social credit score.
Same with republican or any other groups.
I dont think weve ever seen a social structure built like this, its unlike anything ever built, im not sure if i like it, i definitely dont hate it, since a lot worse social structures already exist.
Anyways, thought you should know.
Stranger things finale was just like the series, somewhere between olay, to good.

Rebuilding the internet requires a lot of patience and hard work, We've done a lot of that this year and We'll need a lot more of that next year.
Happy new years to the builders and early citizens of the next frontier, hope the year brings lots of joy and love for you!
Ignoring the politics of it all, i really think the The Last of us 2 (Game) was better than the Last of Us 1 (Game).
It maybe a bear market for bitcoin bit it is definitely a nostr client summer, so many new clients in the last few days that I've given up hope that I'll ever be able to try all of them.
There only 24 nostr users and each has their own client 🤣
The objective is to make nostr as useful as possible, I'm already using this for my own notes! Do check it out!

I have two days before I'm off on a vacation and I think I'll spend whatever free time i have doing some actual vibe coding: Vibing to awesome tracks while I write my own code 🎸
View quoted note →After vibe coding for the last week, I realized I really like to code, and I hate having to watch YouTube and scroll my phone while the ai generates slop.
Its a great technology and a time saver and I'm definitely thankful for it. But I need to figure out better flows with it, where I'm actually shipping quality products with it, while also not just wasting time scrolling nostr while the AI builds 10 features with 35 bugs.
Its the best and the worst feelings I've had for a piece of tech ever 😂
If it's any consolation we have way more users than Zuck has on his horizon worlds 😂
