Derek Ross on Nostr: Almost nobody switches apps because of a protocol. They switch because the experience ...
Almost nobody switches apps because of a protocol. They switch because the experience is better. Legacy social had 20 years of polish. We have Al. Nostr apps need to match or beat the UX of centralized platforms or most people simply won't care. Sure, freedom is the foundation, but it won't be the selling point for most. Build apps people love to use. Make awesome apps. We have the tools.
