 On our day to day use of nostr, it is easy to lose track of the many improvements and unique experiences it offers. If we look back in time, we can see how much some nostrverse projects have grown. This is a field trip to document those changes across time.

-One of the best features in nostr is showing content based on who you follow and who your follows follow (a.k.a. your network). It helps focus on your interests, and it reduces spam. 
+One of the best features in nostr is showing content based on who you follow and who your follows follow (a.k.a. your network). It helps focus on your interests, and it reduces spam. While, in the future, nostr clients may offer choices in algorithms to curate content, it is good to always have the option to see content based on who and which topics you follow. You are the curator. 
 
 Coracle has taken a unique approach to this. It now has a button that finds music on nostr from your network. You can listen to that music while you look through your notes. 
 
 Have a favorite musician on nostr? Let me know.
