as a dev and nostr user, here’s my elevator pitch:
everything is an event. events are signed using pki so it’s easy to know who sent the event and it’s authentic. they’re human readable json objects. events flow over websockets so it’s “real time”. you can build literally anything on this platform - listen for a type of event, do something, emit another. it can all interoperable. we started with basic twitter clones but are rapidly moving into uncharted territory - people are building music distribution apps, ai agents, and so on. and the entire ecosystem has native, programmatic payments built on bitcoin’s lightning network.
