My favorite app on nostr (besides my own đ) is #cornychat. I was bound to fall for an audio app first because the human voice is a better social function than any graphic one (for me, because I love the pitch variations and prosody of expressive speech).
When I first joined nostr, I fell in love with nostr nests for the same reason and I kind of found my niche group of nostr friends that way. The first variation of nostr nests was not entirely open source, which I didnât understand or care about at that time. So, when it was time to upgrade nostr nests, the developers had to do a complete re-write, which was a lot of work and took some time.
During that time, nostr nests was down and a lot of the daily users (like me) had nowhere to meetup. Thatâs when Vic (npub1yx6âŚ7kza) began writing another audio space on jam systems, that is entirely open-source. When he was doing beta, a lot of my friends and I were excited to test because we missed having an audio space to shoot the shit in.
Thatâs where we hung out while the new nostr nests was being developed. Since I spent a lot of time there, I quickly got used to all of the features/UX/UI. I made and designed my own room and such.
When the new nostr nests came out, I was excited to try it out, but it was new and had different features to figure out.
I love both of these apps, I just feel more comfortable with cornychat because I am already proficient in all of the features and a lot of my friends already have rooms there. I even suggested 2 different features that I personally had use cases for and Vic (npub1yx6âŚ7kza) was able to implement them.
Anyways, several people have suggested or asked why I donât use nostr nests more instead of cornychat or âisnât cornychat just a fork of nostrnests anyways?â.
Thatâs doesnât make a lot of sense to me, which is why I typed this all out.
Nobody appears to have confusion when it comes to various/separate nostr clients. Itâs not like a lot of the major clients are that different as far as function (Iâm sure the code/structure varies), but theyâre basically all kind-1 explorers and nobody has asked me why I use one nostr client over the other, why should it be any different with audio space apps?
Now thereâs another addition to the audio team, #hivetalk and I think itâs fabulous.
Furthermore, despite the similarities, I have found that all 3 apps appear to be demonstrating completely different use cases at the moment.
Nostrnests appear to have the most podcast/speaker type formats
Cornychat appears to have the most informal/conversation type formats
Hivetalk appears to have the most media-sharing formats (e.g., screen sharing)
My question to everyone: does this not lend more towards decentralization than relying on a single audio app?
