🔥 Maybe something to consider for mkstack for shakespeare. To make nostr in the background as the hidden magick layer that glues the things. #shakespeare

Two thoughts on this: 1. We need to get out of the mindset of “building nostr apps”. We simply need to build great products that people want to use, and Nostr will be the underlying protocol. So totally agree with Jack on this. 2. In the long run, we will absolutely displace X and other closed platforms. It will be a grind, but we will wrestle away the network effects from gradually, then suddenly. View quoted note →

It depends. Around here, no. For the broad mainstream, yes. For certain types of people & projects, building Nostr apps will make sense when the builder requires what they are building to be censorship-free. MKStack and Shakespeare have a main feature of just understanding Nostr. They just *get it* This isn't something the big name AI builders can do well. They try, but their "Nostr sites" are trash.

Could be. What I mean is, I think about nostr as http. I dont make http apps. I make webapps that make use of http. Or ssl. Or databases. But you dont call it database apps. You also dont show these to the user. These are the tech stack. Handling nostr on the granular level seems to me an expert feature. Should be possible, but shall not be required. Just my 2 sats. Curious if you see any difference.

Devs get this. Normal people don't. Even this explanation will make their eyes glaze over. It's more like here's what you're building and so you get xyz. Normies don't think about Nostr as http, it's just the name of a thing. A class of apps that won't censor them. Even having this conversation is too much. It doesn't help a normie builder. Do I get to build something quickly and easily? And it can't be censored? And I can't be locked into a subscription thing? And I can just play and have fun building a thing? And there's a new way to earn money on it and I can't get kicked off like Patreon did to me? And that thing is called Nostr? Ok, cool. We gotta dumb it way down. And there's no problem telling 'em it's Nostr either.
