Are you new here and getting enthusiastic about everything Nostr (like I did)? First, note that there are many developers doing an amazing job creating all sorts of Nostr apps. A lot of them do it for free, out of love for the protocol. You’ll see sophisticated projects, as well as simpler ones - like an alternative to the popular link-in-bio tool Linktree (called Nostree). I was a newborn nostr-only maniac, so I immediately switched all my Linktree links to Nostree. A few months later I learned it wasn’t working anymore, and I had no idea how long I had those dead links out there. The same thing happened with Nostr.band. I used to link to my profile under my articles on Medium (instead of posting an npub, which most people wouldn’t know what to do with) using Nostr.band, only to find out that the service had stopped working too. So on Nostr in 2026, projects come and go, and that’s a good thing. It shows the possibilities of the protocol and how people build things because they’re excited about it and want to increase freedom on the internet. We really should appreciate that, instead of writing comments like this. This isn’t meant as criticism of the developers behind those tools at all. I really appreciate their effort, and I’m aware it takes extra energy to keep projects alive. That said, I do think it’s fair to point out that if you decide to use services like Nostree, you should check in on them from time to time to make sure they’re still on.
