Building user habits takes time — and a lot of patience.
Someone who’s used to eating noodles with chopsticks won’t suddenly switch to a fork, even if the pasta tastes amazing. And the same goes the other way around.
But it’s not hopeless. The key is to keep delivering a consistent and genuinely good experience, over and over again.
The hardest part is for those building the products. You can’t really predict when that turning point will happen — when people’s habits will finally start to shift. You don’t know when it’ll come, or what feature will trigger it. That’s why so many great projects fall right before dawn — not because they failed, but because they lost balance between belief and resources.
Nostr’s account system gives a small edge here. It helps projects reach that inflection point faster by making user migration easier and connection smoother.
Still, the challenge remains: can you last long enough to see it happen?
Because staying alive during the long wait — that’s the real battle. Every project has to find its own way to survive.
Survival comes first.
As long as your users haven’t completely forgotten you, there’s still a chance for that breakthrough moment to arrive.
Keep going.🤙
