Off the top of my head, these are things I look at when measuring Nostr’s success/health:
-Estimates of active user numbers.
-Data, where available, on zaps/payments with Nostr-affiliated wallets.
-Client and relay diversity.
-Use cases outside of Twitter clones that start gaining some traction because the social graph or some other aspect of the open ecosystem makes them better, even for users that don’t care about decentralization or permissionlessness. (My go-to example is that I want review sites where in addition to numbers of reviews, I want to see any reviewers from my social graph on top, so I can be like “well she likes all the same books I do and she says this one is amazing, and the rest of the numbers are good, so…”)
