Solve real world problems, not “me-too” apps but just on Nostr? I think there are a couple of interesting models to look at:
-The Samwer brothers’ Rocket Internet. Their core skill was rapid expansion, which allowed them to clone trending American startups in markets their American counterparts weren’t yet in.
-Apple’s and Google’s OS’s are built on Unix and Linux. They took open source tools and built closed source solutions, leveraging some characteristics of the FOSS tech, and not others, for proprietary solutions.
-One of the distinct advantages of Nostr is its uptime. What are uses where Nostr’s uptime is superior to current solutions, AND is necessary for mission critical? Perhaps where data ownership is also important? What about rails for Internet of Things- accessing security devices remotely? Or rails for medical information? Solutions don’t have to be consumer-focused only. What about supply chain and logistics, where physical packages have a tamper proof audit trail? Or content registries? Or can Nostr be a cheaper solution for companies with SLA’s that demand 99.999% uptime?
