you heard of bitchat before nostr? that's cool
copy/pasting from another reply I had for my story:
I was trying to build B2B saas / consumer insights tool because the current stuff is really outdated, that forced me to figure out how to work with twitter/meta/reddit etc and their terrible (nonexistent) developer relations teams and zero API that devs can actually use, that put me down a legal and spiritual journey of "who actually owns this content?", that eventually led me to looking for alternatives around the same time bluesky launched publicly, I then learned about the AT protocol because I was curious about how it worked, I then went looking for other protocols and found nostr, I ended up liking everything about it more than atproto, and now I'm here
