Mafrend

Could you compile it into Kotlin Multiplatform, like the Rust Nostr SDK library did - using the UniFFI?
You would target all mobile devices then, and apps like Amerhist.

Have you heard this idea "Make every address on the globe a chat room" ?
That's where my inspiration came from for my next app, every point of interest on the map (venue/business/spot/etc) has a dedicated public chat for conversations.

My advisor told me I should never go beyond 51%, then the rest of 49% I should share with co-founders and leave room for potential Investors. Your approach is more balanced, I needed to consider it, thanks for sharing.

I only took a quick look at BitChat internals, so I don’t know it that well yet. To me it looks mostly like a terminology difference, not something fundamental. If you would sync and use the same event formats (kind, tags etc), then you could most probably pull each other’s events and vice versa.
Anyway, I’m pretty excited to keep working on Mafrend. Should be fun once it’s out there 👍

Never was interested by those emails, I just read posts all over Nostr and Threads, information is flying all around.

2026-02-05 01:04:33 UTC

I would prefer Nostr articles over Medium, but there are not so many of them, the ecosystem of topics is not so rich yet.
Also I wanted to mention that Nostr is shadowed by BlueSky and Mastodon. For example SaaS products (let’s say AI social content generators) would often include the last two but they don’t know about Nostr.
What could be the causes? Nostr positioning? Lack of user apps? How many BlueSky or Mastodon derived apps do you know? Everyone knows what Gmail, ProtonMail, YahooMail mean, but not everybody has heard about SMTP.
I don’t know the causes, just wrote some food-for-brain, just to think on.

I don’t understand this statement.
I would say these are two separate ideas, and their hypes are concurrents.
Some people around me say: “Don’t rush into this AI hype to build something - it might end up like the Bitcoin hype that faded after COVID.”
(The idea back then was to replace XDR currency with Bitcoin/crypto at a company that receives many payments from around the world, but it never gained traction and eventually evaporated after COVID.)
The AI hype replaced the crypto hype.

The social benefit is good:
Plug an app to Nostr and that app has an instant audience pool; The kind that Threads has because of Instagram.
This is the thing what attracted me to be here, studying Nostr.
But I realised that nobody would use AskNostr over Reddit, if it’s slower, or if the search algorithm is not there; Yes it’s cool to build something, but you have to be in love with the problem rather than with its solution - many app developers fall into that trap

I had the same “wow” thought when found out about Graph Databases in the context of social networks.
Neo4j has vector similarity search on nodes, if it is powered to a AI RAG system we can generate nice information, content, recommendations (but not overuse it like instagram or tiktok do, since nostr doesn’t want to be like them).
Also the relationship “feature” between tables is upgraded on whole new level in Graph Databases compared with traditional sql databases like Oracle where you have to do joins on a middle table to achieve same thing.

If you remove the content propagation based on smart algorithms then you have to provide to the users something else in return otherwise they will not be motivated to use your app.
Instagram back in the days showed only posts from followers, then they saw that this strategy is not engaging users to use the app properly and some “good” content doesn’t arrive to you simply because you don’t follow someone. Then they invented this smart feed based on things you like.
I don’t think smart algorithms are generally bad, it depends how you use them. I don’t want my feed to be full of memes to spike my dopamine level and take all my attention because I simply like them, but maybe I would like some services or content that I specifically search for to be more accessible.
Another point I wanted to make is that TikTok by my opinion was created by a government to promote different political views and get huge money from it, wins the one with more money. It was created with a specific goal, and clear business model. It’s a big business but Nostr has to find its own way how to play in this game if wanted.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, but I think modern social networks like Instagram and TikTok were primarily designed to capture and direct your attention — to make you focus on what those in control want you to see.
TikTok, in particular, represents the next generation of algorithm-driven content distribution, and it’s often used as a tool to promote certain political narratives. Governments spend massive amounts on TikTok advertising during elections — at least, that’s the case in my home country.
What I’m getting at is this: TikTok operates within powerful investment and influence networks. So where does Nostr fit into this picture? Do we even want a platform that captures user attention in the same way? And if we do, how should we approach it?
