controlled by a single point of failure??
this doesnβt seem very decentralized
itβs literally the go-to for finding apps in our ecosystem View quoted note β
Many donβt
before @fiatjaf taking over
@Karnage designed it all & also added new ones based on recommendations by plebs, which is great bc plebs are the users.
This is wwhat I remembered and was shilling it because/thanks to him posting about it. Great work of design, so neat.
So I am reading there's more than one of those list/sources. What are they? π«
Yup
also I think Wavlake belongs there bc you can post notes from it n also use your nostr identity
same with fountain which also has a nostr feed for RSS related content using your social graph
this is just coming from the idea of allowing people to fully experience the diverse nostr ecosystem, not just whatever one person deems to be a nostr app
They do. They create and host your RSS feed for you. They charge 10% of your earned sats for the service. But itβs just an RSS feed, nothing special.
Also, the reason it's good is because it's curated βΒ which is most easily accomplished by centralization. Someday nostrapp.link will be better but... it's not
Want me to be completely honest? Reason why itβs good or was good is bc @Karnage designed it, and also allowed for outsiders to request apps to be added, I requested 6 months ago for him to take a look at Hivetalk for him to add n he did take a look n added it..
i believe I raised concerns when it was first handed off, but not as of recently, Iβve seen people discussing it but never heard from him about this.
Im also curious what he will do
fiatjaf is not a reasonable human being. he operates in gfy. its why he can think outside the box so well. he says gfy to the box. and subsequently most other people.
plan navigation accordingly
I havenβt been around long enough to understand nostr and have much of an opinion on what makes something a nostr app
From my limited understanding, it seems if youβre sending and/or receiving signed events to/from a relay, youβre a nostr app.
maybe that and log in could be good enough minimum criteria as you continue to build it out or maybe donβt have the need to add anything else n minimum criteria is where it resides n thatβs fine if thatβs all it needs to use n it solves its purpose n is useful
A little push back on even the sign in.
Do you remember a site called Postcard or something, where you could anonymously confess something for the whole internet to read by sending in a postcard and they would put it on their site?
If I had an app that let people anonymously write their confession, then created a signed event using the nsec for the confess-bot account anyone could follow, then sent the event to relays, would that be a nostr app?
Let me ask thisβ¦ If I build a bad ass website that supports nostr. Am I not welcome in the nostr ecosystem? If I contribute using a centralized website because thatβs what I know how to do?
I would pose this: If decentralized is so great for a curated app use case, surely someone will create something that will naturally overtake the centralized version. Right?
