interoperability is how we win the masses. once nostr's ecosystem boasts applications that can compete as viable alternatives to popular solutions, we win by default.

This is SO spot on.

No client will disrupt the incumbents by themselves.

For the VAST majority of people:

👉 Twitter is better than Primal.
👉 Substack is better than Highlighter.
👉 Youtube is better than Zapstream.

No matter how good the products we make get (and we'll make them REALLY fucking good), the network effects of each player are incredibly hard to overcome.

Primal would need to get 200x or 500x better than the Twitter product for the experience to clear the famous "10x-better" bar an offering needs to achieve to yeild user change.

(One of) the upper-hands we DO have is interoperability.

That's our secret weapon.

But we'll only realize it's full potential if we fully embrace it and lean REALLY hard on it.
