Social media is just one use case for Nostr. But what about all the Other Stuff?

Nostr opens up new ways to contribute to the digital commons: creating and sharing knowledge, building on each other's work, and rewarding valuable contributions directly. We can do this without relying on centralized authorities for identity, trust, or payments.

In this talk, we'll explore why this matters, how it works, and what it makes possible that wasn't practical before. Rather than staying in theory, we'll explore a real-world use case through a new app I'm building for sharing information about the world around us, and the NIPs developed alongside it.
