Heuristic33d agoI love watching things grow. How they take shape, what gets added and taken away along the trail.
I've been on the @d1bd3333…9e65581b wagon train for a few months now and have seen some of the cool functionality take hold in that time.
Little things that are big to me like @17e2889f…a8fbe515 adding the "note to self" function to the app.
Being a dev, he could easily hide away from it all, but he doesn't seem to and that alone is something refreshing I notice about #nostr in general so far.
Some of the nPubs like @70c48e4b…00ce3ccb or @bb0174ae…75f7239a etc I would never expect to notice a comment from me, yet they do. I am just some DJ/producer who moonlights in the codeverse when I can. I have 30 followers and fuck knows why any of them took interest, but I'm certainly stoked to have them, whoever they are.
This post from the founder of Nostria is what it's all about for me. Though I may be responding on a different client, that is simply a result of finding it here first. Another thing I love about Nostr, cross platform.
I can't actually imagine what a post like this from Zuck would look like. I'm not really trying to shit on the guy or FB, but it's so foreign an idea to me.
FaceHook to me has always been a weird experience. It's strange to be inside of something that you cannot in any way communicate with in a traditional sense. I can't lodge a complaint, I can't ask for functionality or say "what the fuck? You took away the only thing that made this product worth a shit to me!"
There is no one in there, only you and the other captive products who's lives are packaged not too dissimilar from your own.
So seeing a founder post about why they do it, what it's all about to them. That to me is a window in to what Nostr is right now and will hopefully remain.
I want Sonder to "make enough money to do this for a very long time" as he put it in this post. I get this feeling that if he does, he will be living his best life by simply continuing to do what he loves and giving #nostrheads a solid social offering - one where you know who is behind the curtain.
I dont know him, we have never met. So this isn't a nepotism qoute-post. I just like the product so far and want to see it continue and gain ground.
Cheers to Nostria and Nostr as a whole. So happy to have stumbled into this, I have @6cbb55f4…b67b690c to thank for that.

CR45H 0V3RR1D329d ago@17e2889f…a8fbe515 is the exception not the rule, just like @20986fb8…cdac21b3. In general, most Nostr devs are exactly the same here as they are in other places, in some cases, they are even worse. Don’t even get me started on Damus or the asshat in charge of that product. Or primal, who, unless you have a high follower count, you will never directly hear from. Same goes for the NOS dev, he is also on here but rarely ever reaches out directly.
To them, #nostr is the next #fuckxda, an opportunity for them to get famous rather than using their talents to genuinely make people’s lives better.
It’s probably an Android thing, as all of the developers I have known over the years that develop for that platform, have been a hell of a lot nicer and more open than the #ios jokers you’ll see on here.
