Tekkadan, The Next Satoshi on Nostr: Social media is a complex labyrinth, especially for people who don't understand how ...
Social media is a complex labyrinth, especially for people who don't understand how the back-end of the internet works.
Even for those who do understand how technology works, UI is an entirely different ballgame. Even the most experienced developers will be left dumbfounded if a UI is not complimentary of the workflow derived from the application. That is why UX is relevant in the process of UI design.
The internet has become a beautiful, symphonic soup of UI/UX nightmares and daydreams.
This doesn't just apply to the experience of each individual website, but in fact, creates a global workflow and a global UI for each user. If you imagine every application you use daily, and compare it to mine, they are likely quite different, with some overlap.
The reason I bring this up is because I used to believe "discovery was poor on Nostr."
But I realized, just today, after 2 years of using the protocol- that tagging is a crucial element of Twitter. I didn't realize this sooner because I don't use Twitter, and other social medias I do frequent, do not rely as heavily on tagging!
Without tags, Nostr is an echo chamber. With tags, Nostr is a megaphone.
Now my problem is with applications. They don't convey the need to tag. Nor do they encourage the user to tag.
How can Nostr applications enable users to tag more frequently, and with purpose?
How can "communities created via tagging" provide further utility to the user? Tagging on TikToks operate sort of like communities, which is a noticeable effect of even filtering by a specific tag on Nostr. However it is not a native "feature," so much as a native "function."
Could relays use note tags to filter their own transmissions?
