The thing that most interests me about jack (nprofile…hcpn) building a Nostr client (as a thought experiment, I'm not saying he is) is that it's unlikely to be a toy like so many are. There's some great work going on for sure, but most of it feels like someone's toy that's okay to break and be in a constant state of beta or worse.

I often find myself craving a mature client that just works and doesn't shove something new in my face every week that I have to figure out and adjust to just in time for it to happen again. I'm excited about Damus coming to Android (I have no idea if it's closer to my ideal client or not).

I don't need "feature" after feature packed on top when the basic things still have bugs.

Everyone has different values. I just don't value what the major clients seem to be aiming for (I can't really tell what that is yet, and maybe that's good for them). Jack has proven already that he can build a reliable and familiar UX. I can't think of a more qualified person in the Nostr space right now. His experience and wisdom has to be overwhelming.

Peace.
