Hello

I'm currently testing different Nostr interfaces & tools to see how I can use this protocol more.

Some of these tools & APIs are still too slow or lack of a friendly user experience.

But the future is built by innovators, those who take the time to learn and experiment enough to improve things by try and failure.

When I first heard about Nostr I knew it was a simple technology with a huge potential. I still believe it and I know there are many different utilities and improvements being developed all around the world to make it better.

Even though there's still so much more to achieve, I can see this is going fast and it puts Nostr closer to achieve mainstream adoption.

If not, we will have a very resilient and strong tool to communicate & share information still, and that's ok.

I'm not a developer nor programmer. I'm a journalist focused in Bitcoin, specially in it's techonology rather than economics or cultural issues. It's been almost 7 years working in the space & came to learn A LOT about what is Bitcoin and how it works. There's still so much to learn about it & Nostr is definitely another rabbit hole, another universe (thus connected to Bitcoin), which requires a sustancial amount of time to understand.

I'm currently doing photography, social media & marketing stuff for other clients also, so you'll understand that I don't have too much free time, specially for social media, which fortunately I'm rejecting more and more everyday in its current form.

Ideally, social media is made intended to put something out to the world, not to scroll eternally and dirty your mind with nonsensical opinions or biased news.

But sooner or later I know I will find myself doing news coverage of Nostr stuff, or looking to make a more healthy use of social media through this protocol.

Currently, traditional social media it's not a safe space for mental health, so I'm looking to run away from the algorithm and built a feed that gives me what I need. And I want to give the Nostr community what it needs also.

So, to end up this Saturday morning rant, I'd like you to share with me your insights about Nostr, what are the best tools & sources to learn about its technology. What do you think is needed right now in the space? How can I help? How Nostr can help me improve my journalistic work?

I hope your relay shows you this message. Can't wait to read your responses.

Love,

Luis

PD: Tried to send this message with Primal.net unsuccessfully, after Snort.Social gave me some issues too, but I couldn't. Lastly, I tried Iris and it seems to work. Let me know if you can read this!

Zaps are welcome too, so I can keep investing time in this.
