Why do relays need zap-splits?
Their offer is actually scarce (unlike content, software, etc...).
They can set prices.
If you provide commodity relays and you'll get commodity prices, of course.
Cater to niches and you''l get niche prices.

This list 🔥. Very useful, I have a very similar list.
The part where you have to decide what you let other apps handle and how you handle stuff for/within other apps is where my mind goes most. First time you can really play with that middle ground.

Can you elaborate on the "ammo crate or so" part of this.
Most of the cataclysm crowd keep telling me that storing things digitally isn't even worth the effort, that no faraday solutions would work, etc etc...
I strongly dislike that doomers cult mindset and think you can completely use the energy of the flares as protection against them, if you do it right.

2024-09-01 08:47:53

Agreed.
I prefer relying on things that are very obviously public (zaps, replies, shares, ...) for discovery/recommendations.

2024-08-31 21:35:36

- reply

It just needs to be opt-in and obviously public (like in next.nostrudel).
Making everyone's browser history public would be insane for dsicovery too.
Few willingly opt-in to that kind of stuff.
If you want to scare away normies from day one: make stuff public without them knowing.

2024-08-28 14:41:44

Yup, exactly why 80% percent of the time copying Big Tech UI/UX isn't a graat idea.
We have a chance to do something new here, where the user has to perform and understand way less actions.
Big tech can only dream of letting their users reply on, zap and share literally everything, so they invented a bunch of proxy features. They had to make these features look and feel like lottery machines because otherwise no one would even use them.
We don't have that problem. If you do, you're designing it wrong.
Replying, sharing and zapping are examples of some if the most natural UX you can find.

Yes, public bookmarking is extremely high signal.
It's in the "Share" category for me because it can take many shapes:
- share to your own public bookmarks
- share/host in a community
- share in Stories

*rate

2024-08-28 08:12:51

- reply

You don't want to rare anywhere.
Zaps, replies and shares are enough. They are universal things you can do on any content type. They are high signal and users do them anyway fir other reasons.
LLM's and other types of computation can pick it up from there and show you whatever kind of synopsis stuffed to the aircofuck content type / user preference.
If you prefer your synopsis to have some kind of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating, go for it. But I'm not entering those.

2024-08-27 20:10:55

- reply

Setting up in- and outbox relays is unlikely to ever be good UX.
The more relays start to behave like communitues, the more silly all this will look, and the easier it all is for normies to grasp.
It makes sense for people to have an inbox-solution, using 1 or more relays.
But who in his right mind targets all of their publications to the exact same relays (i.e. Communities)?

2024-08-24 08:19:53

- reply

Communities allow you to both curate AND monetize this process. From day one.
Interoperable communities even allow you to piggy back on other existing projects.

2024-08-24 08:15:51

Yesterday at Nostriga, I heard that FROST enables you to switch to a new quorum of keys that controls the same npub.
If true, which I still have to check up on, there's some cool potential there for normie-friendly key storage (and rotation!).

Find ways to surface high signal replies/conversations instead.
With this you'll just pollute timelines and reader-choice even more.

Start a community and charge for replies 😆 .
That said, paid replies probably contain more information than zaps of similar amounts (especially if only members can reply).

So Asciidoc is mostly a fresh start + some more default features. Ok.
You guys seem to be clearly going for this.
So I'll stop arguing against and start arguing for making everything Asciidoc instead.
You cannot have Articles, Descriptions, etc be MD now. You either have a Standard or you don't.
Next, how do I write Asciidoc in Obsidian? Or anywhere else offline on desktop + mobile?

1. For Zines, you're going to need something like Hypernotes (think Interactive PDF's) anyway: #naddr1qv…pwwk
2. Diagrams, Graphs and advanced Tables are a b*tch when it comes to displaying them properly on mobile. Creators already hate it when they don't have the guarantee of proper display on the same platform, just imagine this across XXXX different apps.
3. If you're going for universality through a common library anyway, you might as well just go for Nostr flavored MarkDown: #naddr1qv…f0u3
4. I'm making things like app and music album descriptions be wikis behind the hood, so that original publishers are filling in our great encyclopedia as a byproduct 💪 . Asciidoc complicates that.
5. There are a lot of WIki- and Nostr-specific things to standardize to make them usable, so you'll be flavoring all over AsciiDoc instead. Examples: a "quick facts" section for wikis, Nostr event embeds, zettels, ...

2024-08-16 20:49:09

Just saw that, indeed, thanks.
That can only be Interoperable if you pay to post on their relay. Which is only profitable if that relay is high signal. That probably means they'll have to curate for specific niches.
People need reasons to use them as their "publication house". Monopoly is not a valid reason.
