i want to build things that people value daily, not just once a month.
there’s always a check metric on these things that can be applied. it’s just a matter of deciding what that is. sometimes it’s harder to measure.
on nostr, it’s probably something like daily active, with zaps received as the check.

Build breakfast for everyone?
Perhaps some measure of time spent on a piece of content x trust/value score of the content (where user or app can apply whatever trust/value score they want)
Daily users sending or receiving zaps is an easier "objective" measure of actual value creation though and applies to other activity I hope to see more of on nostr (e.g commerce)
Perhaps best overall metrics then might be Nostr GDP, GDP / capita, and total users contributing to GDP daily (sending/receiving zaps or payments)
some key matrix like , daily active user or engagement metrics ( time spent , interactions and content consumptions) , also network growth , how many new user join per month .
i always see hashtag trending news when first i log in . what people talk about .
To growth is to let people find each other , and maybe can offered them reward of zap if they share links about nostr to other platform .
encouraged user to share links about this platform.
repost probably the most key matrix enggagement so far

GDP and GNP measured in sats flow on an product-by-product basis would be an ideal check metric.
Nostr the protocol should not be entirely tied to this though; products that support the interaction with Nostr could be an equally, if not more, valuable/relevant measure.
I think this can be achieved if viewed like an old school newspaper. It brought value to millions of people on the daily. But there was a last page. Signal scrolling, doom scrolling, etc. whatever the case may be, there is no last page.
One of my least favorite aspects of online media is the design to capture as many of the user's daily hours as possible. To the detriment of valuable IRL experience.
Maybe develop a built in time-limit. I would love that.
Thanks Jack 🫡
I’m so bullish on Nostr
hey jack just wanted to say thank you for inventing twitter. even tho I was viciously censored I'm still happy that it exists because it really did change the world and change communications. aliens could be reading everybody's tweets for all we know.
I was confused about what the fuck happened, and I know you understand that. thank you. it all really sucks!
being famous is a terrible idea.

Agree with Odell, daily active users sounds like a way to measure addiction.
Cash app would be grest in México.
Jack very clear here, zap as one of the metric, sats adoption
Ok I’ll install my wallet
