I think people expect Nostr to be the next (every)thing, but to me, after 2 years working at a Nostr startup (Satlantis: Social Events (nprofile…k992)), trying to use it for virtually everything, I realized Nostr is "just" (forgive me fiatjaf (nprofile…3as9) for the use of "just") the next big thing for identity management.
There's people obsessed with building EVERYTHING on Nostr (I even saw a guy building an Operating System with Nostr). Who knows, maybe one day Nostr will be the everything tool, but at the moment it's a unique tool, a GREAT one to manage our identities in a sovereign way.
Anything else should be built reusing technologies that have longer track records and are more efficient.
Here's an article Alekandar Svetski (nprofile…jttu) wrote about it. He called it "As Nostr As Possible": https://blog.satlantis.io/as-nostr-as-possible-anap/
