I've come around a bit to Nostr. I like the general idea here, actually.
But asking for a github replacement seems like way too much scope. Github is millions of people-hours of work, does a crazy large amount of stuff.
Just start with some basics: can I get a stream of commits from someone? Can I send patches ("pull requests") to someone? Find some managable goals, and build protocols forwards.
The product minded "deliver me a complete replacement for a whole (& massive) product" is a harm-inducing act that obstructs incremental growth & genuine sucess. Nostr has NIPS, Nostr Improvememt Possibilities (NIPS)- trying to coax some wildcard team into writing either one massive NIPS and a huge product or a sea of closely interlocked NIPS and a huge product is going to cause longstanding damage & an inability to grow this organic system out right.

- fiatjaf 4y agoI agree with that. I've voiced these same concerns with the "big replacement" mentality and suggested that things are made out of small building blocks.
