Nostr devs need marketers.

UI/UX and marketing are underrated in the FLOSS world in general.

By "functions", do you mean software features or human business roles?

Forget marketers, they generally don’t listen to us 😅 they just do what they want to do.

Because the biggest accounts were extremely early adopters. They know their favorite devs personally and don't care about new ones, and they are inured to poor quality.

Nostr specifically. Agree that it's a general problem, that has been keeping open-source from gaining market share.

I am a marketer. I'm listening.

Small teams. Most of them are backend technical smart people. Generally smart people don’t know how to communicate with the rest. Unless they try really really hard.

No, I meant forget the need for marketers. They just need to listen to the user base. Well, maybe that is the job of marketers as well I guess.

They here means the dev, I can’t believe I wrote that the same way a second time. It’s 5 am, I just woke up randomly to find this convo. I’m mostly asleep.

Most non-dev software roles scale really well, like marketing, sales, dev-ops, test, customer support, analysis, etc. That's why I keep encouraging the devs to form project teams, join project teams, or combine/integrate project teams, so that they can "afford" to set aside or recruit some resources for these other roles. Or latch onto a group that already has them all (like ours), and make yourself useful.

This is, after all, one of the big draws of #OpenSats and #SovEng. It's not just the money, it's the infrastructure and status/visibility that comes along with it.

This would be effective, if 1) All potential users were already users. 2) Users know all use cases, possibilities and technical solutions, and can reliably recommend the best one. 3) User base surveys weren't inherently skewed to the most-popular and/or most-active users. 4) Developers wouldn't be better off spending more time building. 5) Marketing never added value, increased sales, or made a market.

Marketing in the OS space is a challenge, but I think it can work, if you focus on helping a dev articulate and communicate the narrative behind his vision. WHY is he building WHAT he is building to solve WHICH problem HOW? This is a problem for him and for WHOM?
