Nostr needs the enthusiasm and the energy to explore the protocol and do crazy shit at the edges
Nostr needs to get basic shit nailed down
Atm I feel the balance is too much Yang and Laeserin (nprofile…pqw8) throwing a bucket of cold water is #goodvibesonly
Nostr devs could use a month or two of not writing new feature code and not starting new projects
Just testing, fixing, refactoring, going through open issues and merging bug fix PR's
Then back to the fun stuff
Let's be clear here.
Nostr is an unfinished beta of multiple technologies being tested simultaneously in realtime. It's buggy. Things break often. You'll probably lose some money, or time, or both to it. I know I have 😂
But I love the passion, the attitude and the vision for the future I see here. It's worth putting up with the bugs to be around such great people, so I keep coming back.
quotingI don't understand how software teams can develop apps or major features that don't work at all, and not even notice. I try to use it one time, for 5 minutes and it's just a succession of bizarre, painfully-obvious bugs, including things like
nevent1q…0nsm
1) Can't sign in with browser extension or nsec bunker, even though that is listed as an option.
2) Can't manage relays, even though the app hardly works without that.
3) Crash or freeze, with no recovery or error-handling.
4) Buttons wander off the page/screen, so that you can't click them.
5) Windows pile on top of windows.
6) Gigantic permission events that lead to doom loops.
7) Writes notes from the wrong/random npub, even though it displays the correct one in the profile (What is it signing with???)
8) Blank page, database error, 404 error.
9) Save button that cancels. Cancel button that saves.
10) Buttons that don't respond and then become inactive, when pressed, so that you end up pressing it over and over and generate multiples of the same event.
This is a total mystery to me, for over a year, now, and I still have not received any answer other than snark.
I do not understand how this is even a thing. 🤷♀️
