Nostr will never be complete, nor will it be ready until the needs and problems present themselves. Over the last 20 months I have not witnessed major issues being tackled until they're front and center. The motivation to not fail is strong. The motivation to not solve issues that aren't apparent are often put on the back burners too. I feel we need a catalyst.

What’s cool about nostr is that I stood up my own infrastructure for dev and testing. I don’t require anyone’s permission for what I am doing. My take is someone will come up with something really cool without asking for someone’s permission.
Absolutely this.
The UX problems with Nostr clients are front and center and very apparent in contrast with centralized solutions.
We know that the current state of key management is unsustainable for larger audiences. There seems to be promising progress in that regard.
I do agree that waves of adoption stimulate innovation but "recruiting" people to Nostr feels like "recruiting" people to Bitcoin. It's a pretty perilous endeavour.
I absolutely agree here and was just speaking to someone about this earlier in the week. The solution for now is to recommend Primal and Damus. They are simple, easy to use, and just work. They are the most stable. The issue with just doing that is that these two clients don't fully showcase the power of Nostr. They're mostly just kind 1 Twitter alternatives.
people have been recruiting others to bitcoin at great cost and for a long time, even michael saylor, while you did nothing and just enjoyed the growth of your network effect while shitting on the same people who were putting in the work
congratulations
