I hope it does...
In the quest for good UX and an effective search, I think there's a crucial need for emotional engagement and FUN — qualities that captivate and retain users. And not just "logic".
While rad innovations like #zaps and key pair encryption, clients, relays (etc) are awesome, they won't keep users around with just abstract logic (bitcoin/money).
I think it's up to us to pass down the cool influences that brought us here, if we're self aware enough to discern them. It's the art, music and stories we grew up that led a lot of us here. But it's mostly overlooked.
Recognizing talent, like the UX designer behind ZEUS (npub1xnf…lpr5), and influential figures in these spaces is crucial. If we want Nostr to #compete.
There's a chance this might take another decade/new generation. And zooming out further, to really compete is to completely shift perspectives and worldviews. This is web5.
And so I see it as up to us to pass on the influences that got us here.
And tip your local client-tender folks. jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z)
