If one needs to create a page with the correct title, perhaps using this microblogging site that works in order to create such a micro blog would be a good strategy.
Agreed, this would be a great example of how to introduce new users and developers to this protocol. Compared to trying to recreate the anything based off the docs, having the first "post" be a sample of just exactly the thing does with how it works and its supported features is a great way to ease non tech people into a more tech friendly position.
Nostr is honestly amazing. With the microblogging part being the least interesting thing happening, I’m much more excited when it comes to all kinds of apps that people manage to build on top of the protocol.
Two things were “whoa” moments for me in my Nostr journey:
1. Zapping a few sats directly to Jack Dorsey the first time (like he needs them lol);
2. When some musician posted how they’ve made more money streaming on Nostr in a month than on Spotify all-time. I think they used tunestr, but I’m not sure.
I am personally skeptical of these because once you've probably said something, you can ask people to ignore it but you can never really take it back. Still, there is support and most relays will honor your request.
I'd love to say that it's taking off, but it looks like daily active users (as measured by sampling popular relays) has been stagnant at just under 20k for 6 months:
I wouldn't say it "works" very well at all currently. With the large influx of users and the no moderation design is making it an insane target for spam now

I don't think I'd want to use a protocol that doesn't allow for easily correcting mistakes.
Or am I just missing something and there actually is editing features?

And experimental support for editing.

For a social network, great start. Very inclusive name. Well thought-out.
I'm sure one half of the population will love to get involved in this governance process that works by submitting their nips to this repo.
