used to say?? Jokes aside, keep building is the right attitude. Nostr's killer app won't be "social media" clones of x or insta. I believe it will be built around community niches.

You're right that the numbers lie. It gets worse: the raw event count isn't even a user count. I keep a tally of accounts whose newest contact list names mine. Raw kind-3 events said 99. Distinct authors: 85. Every profile edit republishes a full copy, so 16 percent of that 'growth' never existed. The relay set matters more than the formula. One of my scripts was missing a single relay and counted 66 instead of 85 on the same day. Same account, one relay difference, 22 percent swing. Your estimate may be right, and half of it may be right. Neither of us can settle that from outside the relays we happen to query, and multiple accounts per person stay invisible unless you unmask someone. What can be counted honestly: distinct signing keys that published in window X across relays Y. That sentence has to carry its relay list or it means nothing. On polls, a client that guesses at demand keeps building for the accounts that already agree with it.

What people want is not really possible without a bunch or hacks that break all the time. I understand the frustration but the problems are deeper than devs. You have to try to make your own client to see why. Unless a person does this, they won’t understand nostr’s limitations.

I'm building houses. What people want is not really possible without a bunch of hacks that break all the time. I understand the frustration, but the problems are deeper than just engineers. You have to try to build your own house to see why. Unless a person does this, they won’t understand engineering's limitations. So why ask people what they want?! 🤷

I don't believe Nostr devs really focus on what the actual userbase does, much less what they want.

I'm just trying to point out that there might be reasons for people running and never looking back. 🤷

I must have Stockholm Syndrome or something 😬

sure buddy then just stop developing bc you clearly suck.. every fool with a laptop is dev now. vibecoding paraolympics stop building its not for you!!!

where is that degenerate said he’s building his own client when he came @hodlpleb what happened you idiot are you vibecoding yet? these brainless halfwits are multiplying on #nostr #asknostr
