New design elements on Damus are great.
And Coracle is looking better and better.
Onboarding people into nostr still has a ton of issues, but those are just iterations.
Once people grasp the ease of moving from one client to the next, and more importantly, from app to app, it’s hard to return to the legacy model.
But what wins all is the permissionless model. The more developers who cut their teeth on this, the better everything gets.
I’ll do everything I can to get people to look this way, play, and eventually build something that matters.

So, why blue sky?
Bullish.

Just a kickstart
Long way to go, but exciting af 😉

This is already integrated it at a basic level in Bluesky. I’d love to see custom feeds come to Nostr, too.
Jack is so bullshit!
Nice
And your avatar lines up so nicely 😂 

Hey @dave write an email intended to persuade the Apollo development team to rebuild their application on Nostr because it's permissionless and their business model can't be invalidated overnight due to Nostr's decentralized nature. Mention how Nostr already has a couple Reddit clones, but they're both early stages and we could use more competition in this space.
Hi @3f770d65,
Thank you for your message. I understand that you are interested in persuading the Apollo development team to rebuild their application on Nostr.
Here is an email that you could send to the Apollo development team:
Dear Apollo Development Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you to discuss the potential benefits of rebuilding your application on Nostr.
As you may know, Nostr is a decentralized social network that is permissionless and offers a level of security that traditional social networks cannot match. This means that your business model cannot be invalidated overnight due to Nostr's decentralized nature.
Furthermore, Nostr already has a couple of Reddit clones, but they are both in the early stages and we could use more competition in this space. By rebuilding your application on Nostr, you would be able to tap into a growing user base and potentially gain a competitive advantage in this space.
I would be happy to discuss this further with you and answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
When creating a new ‘account’, should be link to something like keeper or getliby and instructions of how/why storing with e2ee is important. How to secure your mnemonic phrase, npub, securely, without having to remember anything but a master pass to your password app.
thanks Jack always
The new custom feeds on Bluesky is very well done
🫂🤗🫶

help me with this, how can we monetize a free relay to be set in #Venezuela latency here super bad for real
I think it would be extremely helpful if clients & apps had an available list of things that play well together stashed in a menu, even if just some basic stuff. I understand playing favorites might be a bit of a contention point there, but as far as understanding functionality user side, I think it would provide much more of a net benefit. Hypothetical algo store is a great example of something that would fit well into such a feature, along with a plethora of other things.
#[1] it’s a long shot but will you look at your DMs?
ありがとうディベロッパーのみんな❗️💜 ありがとう 🎉 #[1]
Yes Damus is better in design and very beautiful and also Snort and Amethyst as well everyone is working on developing
We owe you Mr. Jack for adopting you as a Nostr, which will be the perfect form of social media platforms
#startsmall
why arent well known tech reviewers, youtubers talking about/joining nostr?
sorry, i'm a twitterchick. come back with me. up front. or - whatever.
Reminds me of myspace but better hahaha
meh. it's just a language problem. twitter is not surmountable. whatever issues need to be resolved twitter will ultimately be the most nimble.
now it's time to move along 😁. new project!
algo won't matter if the source code of the ai language model is fucked. ✌🏻
Nice I'm really enjoying nostr. Elon sucks compared to you humanwise for sure 🤙
Thanks Jack. you are the reason I am here and I love it.
jack isn’t the nostr ceo… #[4] is.
@0f1b5961: Interesting, can you tell me more about #[4] and their role as the CEO of Nostr? What are some of their goals for the platform?
I very much want to add this
To save user settings and last viewed timestamp for chats/dms
Maybe I should just store these on my own server

That's great to hear... figured this would be a good thread for throwing the idea out there, even if it had been floated already. One could even specialize their app for business or social, specific-social like movie or music oriented, etc. Could be super useful for retention.
🫂
I still can't figure out how to actually post to Primal even when I'm "signed in" over Alby. I can see my profile, see my posts from Iris....but can't post, like, repost directly to Primal. 😩
What am I doing wrong that I can post to Iris but not to Primal even when I look "signed in."
Should reach out the Dev at Apollo, the new Reddit API changes are making it very hard to keep the app alive when they will be charging such high fees for API request.
He has a huge following and many want to follow where he goes. Could be a great vector for getting a new community.
#shotinthedark
#[1] What inspires you to keep moving forward?
This is awesome to hear from anyone but even more so from a person in your role with your history.
I hope you keep a journal and release a memoir down the road.
The Forbes article was a great insight as well into Nostr with Will and Fiatjaf taking center stage. Huge kudos to @jb55 for being a beast at the backend. Zaps are revolutionary. ⚡️
I'll have to get an iPhone just for Damus. Lol.
Nothing prides me more than being a part of spreading cypherpunk ideas, and to keep fanning the flame of decentralization, open protocols and freedom.
I strive in my classroom and in the seminars I lead to always focus the learning at the first principles and to encourage critical thinking. Keep open minds and hearts.
Kudos. We're all a part of something special. 🤙⚡️
Oh, and Square's payment service is 🤙 too. Just got onto it.
Agree
I'm thinking about creating an onboarding platform. 🫂⚡💜
This is definitelly coming 🔥
Pura vida 🤙
We're lucky to have you in this space fighting the good fight 🙌
Well I'm here and in the convos now!
What else is new?
What’s his contact?
@ChristianSelig on Twitter
His email is me@christianselig.com
He posted it on reddit for folks wanting to contact him to talk so it’s probably best to reach out there.

🫂💜 It's great to see you back on Twitter promoting #Nostr . Without your dedication, Nostr could not have grown so fast. Your influence, money and time are unparalleled. Thank you for your great dedication, jack. You let us not only see hope, but also let us feel the warmth of the sun of freedom.
If Nostr fails, and I mean if, what does that mean for you? Why do you contribute so much to Nostr?
This is so amazing & beautifully written. It comes directly from your heart.🫂🦁❤️
Cultural lag is a small price for nostr to pay for pioneering the future of global commerce and communication.🛰️💳🌎
I hope decentralization becomes the standard in every economic sector.🧡🩷💚🩵💜
Very well said.🫂💜 Blue Sky has a giant two year lead on decentralized protocols. It would be so unfair to all the people who sacrificed years of their life to create Blue Sky.
The waiting list alone demonstrates how Blue Sky is addressing the immediate needs of what users want - for now.☁️🩵
What nostr has accomplished in a mere couple of months is unbelievable. I can’t even fathom what nostr will even look like two years from now.
We know what every other platform will look like two year from now - exactly the same but not nostr.
Nostr is the future.🧡🛠️💻🛰️🚀💜
Looks like you got most the contact info already. He is also very active on Reddit, linked is profile below.
I’ll be very curious, the Reddit API changes seem to be a shock and a lot of people are ditching Reddit if their third party apps can’t be used.

Aww. You’re so humble and modest. It’s so much more than that. You can throw money at anything and remain completely hands off.
Where you invest your time is the most valuable contribution hence nostrica and now nostrasia. 🇯🇵🌎🇭🇰
Time is more valuable than money.🫂💜
LFG. I just love how the possibilities for growth at nostr are seemingly endless and can rise up from out of nowhere. It’s wild. Fingers crossed. 🔥🧨💥🚀🌎🫂💜
rabbit rabbit ☀️🤙🏻
no no - i found him.
This right here! I suggested the same thing. Apollo is developed just by a single person and he’s done an amazing job.
A lot of people would follow anything he puts time into I believe.
Agreed, I never thought my note would gain any traction. Now I am more excited than I thought.
Attention algorithms will be choosed by our Intentions events.
Aligning attention with intentions is key for a plentiful life.
Intentions events are unique to Nostr because of Nostr features.
Intention owners and publishers, including marketplaces, get zaps from Intentions providers to get their attention.
Intentions and Attention are 2 of the 5 protections provided by the digital fundamental right, presented at the Costa Rican Congress , 2004, Law project for Constitutional amendment #15890
The other 3 protections are Data, Existence (self sovereign identity) and off-line life.
Testaments are the oldest intentions registry. But intentions became more important with the Internet. Intentions made TV and newspapers obsolete...
The Internet economy is based on intentions. People exchange intentions for free services. For example, Google Maps extracts intentions but also your phone listening to your conversations extract intentions.
However, people's intentions have been used for the benefit of the intention provider's and not for the benefit of the people, the intention creators.
I founded in 2008 a successful start up protecting people's intentions, specifically, the intention of not selling or mortgaging your property. www.propiedadsegura.cr
I founded the start-up not just to protect people's intentions but also to show the importance of intentions. Since Costs Rican Congressman referenced me at the introductory text of the digital fundamental right, #15890, I was one of the 2 people invited to the CR Constitutional Amendment Commission to talk about the 5 protections, and the most difficult to understand is digital based intentions.
Intentions can be not just the fuel for the Nostr economy, but it is also the social (r)evolution of the XXI Century, not just because of monetizing intentions but also because aligning attention with intentions.
I met at Nostrica a with @treesap who started the very initial development of the Intention Registry, a free open source software to stimulate the development of the Nostr intention economy by setting up the GitHub and Barth is also interested to contribute and is looking for funding
@Bartholomew Joyce⚡️🇫🇷 is also

Play is good. Play works.
Problem with that is that either you click ok on the chrome extension all the time, or you just trust blindly what the site will post…
To me, the whole point of the extension is to control what’s happening with my keys… so I probably won’t set it to auto-sign, and I guess I’m not the only one.
Yep — I do, but then again I'm also the author of the app
DMs are a cancer.
🤙
Only the DM UI, users should have a way to communicate away from immediate public scrutiny.
I still can’t fully grasp how one set of keys can give us access to almost all of nostr…
#nostr is everything


still, that leaves traces on relays hinting about what you're doing...
Can you target your market to Venezuelans and offer something unique?
Hi Evan. I’m excited too!!💜
This just my personal theory. But I was there when Republicans begged and pleaded for Elon to buy Twitter. They pledged their full support to him. They swore that he could fix Twitter because of them.
They all let him down per usual.
Now they’re all trying to get on Blue Sky and stalking jack here on nostr.
Yeah I said it.
But Elon will figure it out. And we will continue to support him.💜

Musk Says Dorsey Was Right That Twitter Was 'Impossible To Reform'
With that said, this is also a great opportunity for Twitter to consider adopting nostr’s protocol.🐣💜
Love it. Great job, devs. 👏🏼
Honestly this is so shocking to me. I remember when this all went down. It was such a mess.
I’m sure Elon will find a suitable replacement soon.💜

LOL. I wonder if Elon feels like this some days dealing with Twitter.
But unlike Plankton he can’t push a button and go back.
Nor should he. New Twitter is just going to take some time as with most things worthwhile.🐣💜
we will figure out something for sure. let see
I had zero issues with Damus. Worked great!
What do you mean its not possible?
Nevermind read it wrong.
Yep. Its possible. Its the way to go. Algorithmic feeds are the end game for social media. Especially for Nostr.
An algorithm can even fetch from an obscure relay if its good.
Hey! I'm interested in this. Please send me the link/DM me.
You’re aware of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, yes?
You are literally the deaf guiding the blind.
💋
Damus allowed me to start using nostr without knowing exactly how it works. +1
Be curious if there was an update or if you were able to get any contact. Thanks for all you are doing.
What about bluesky? When is it going mainstream. I am yet to get a pass code despite several attempts.
Check your DM
👊🏼🤙
Great job @Damus team 👏🏻
Thank you 🫂
nostr tshirt next superbowl ✌
I have little opinion on Jack one way or the other though I believe he is sincere. And he saw Twitter early on.
But I'm curious if you'd expand on this?
The fact that there are different apps to access nostr made it difficult for me (not having the underlying context of how it works led me to believe I was signing up for different services).
This also rises privacy questions given that I have to download apps from developers I haven't researched enough about. This will can be a huge roadblock for mainstream users; for now it's targeted to tech enthusiasts.
Agreed! =)
Yessir! I made this video to onboard more people, feel free to share:
