Thank you for the feedback - we are thinking about all of this a lot these days.
We started with our previous app Tweetoshi that was focused on Bitcoin & LN and when we pivoted to Plebstr we firstly thought about it as “Tweetoshi on steroids for Nostr”. It still seems to us like a great option but we also feel that we have to be a little more “generic” in order to get the masses on Nostr.
We want to be a pro-profit company and we are looking for investors so we can continue building Plebstr full time with our 5-member team. That is a big part of why we are not open source now - but if we get a “right” investor we are definitely open to it. We also plan to build an open source Nostr “signer” for safer and easier key management on mobile
Hey Notriches 👋 (Especially mobile dev nostriches)
At plebstr, we're exploring the possibility of creating a mobile open-source nostr event signer. This app would enable a way for multiple nostr apps/clients to request a signature for an event and still ensure that your private key is stored securely, similar to Alby extension on a web. We believe that this would be a significant step towards ensuring user security in the "Nostr ecosystem," as it eliminates the need to store your private key across multiple apps.
We wanna hear your thoughts and ideas on this one. Hit us up and tag any other badass devs who might be interested in joining the discussion - #[0] #[1] #[2] #[3] #[4] #[5] …
Let's make moves and take user security in the Nostr ecosystem to the next level! 🔒💪
It’s amazing to get feedback and we would love to get it more from all of you but especially you and people like jack (npub1sg6…f63m) who really know the social media space.
