One of my goals with #Alexandria is to build an app that I can explain to people who have never heard of it without once mentioning Nostr.

It should stand on its own merits as an app.

quoting nevent1q…8a0t

I suppose that this is the marketing cardinal sin, that fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) was writing about, yesterday. Nostr products are too often aimed *people on Nostr*, but that is actually a miniscule subset of the global userbase, and it's one generally uninterested in anything other than zapping and tweeting. That's why products that do things other than zapping and tweeting tend to get little publicity, on here.

We should be designing products that appeal to larger swathes of the potential userbase, including almost all humans on the planet, who have never heard of Nostr and don't care about it. They just want to do XYZ and are looking for a tool, for that purpose. They are not looking for a Nostr tool. And most Nostriches aren't looking for a tool, for that purpose. So, we need to market to the XYZ people, directly, with some Nostriches also falling into that category. This is a distinction with a difference.
