Nostr Web Client

nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 this is an unfair characterization.

As far as I can see his reply feed is full of people saying there is a lot of choice, and instructions on how to remove things the newcomer is not interested in.

The bigger thing we are up against isn’t bitcoin people, but rather BigCo social media conditioning social media users they are powerless and toolless to modify what they see to their liking.

Maybe this deserves an onboarding disclaimer or two

It’s not that the people replying weren’t friendly and welcoming. And we have lots of people who are interested in music or photography on Nostr. It’s how he felt “this place isn’t for me” rather than, “oh this is how I find the music and photography people”

And I think all of the replies made Nostr seem complicated and overwhelming. Just like how most people never change a single setting in the software they use. We’re a community of tinkerers and early adopters. Folks who want something that “just works” aren’t going to want to read more onboarding instructions or spend a bunch of time learning how nostr works.

if i’m being honest, i think nostr has the easiest and most frictionless signup to the point where you start to customise what you see. that’s a good starting point! no email or phone number required, but i think we might need to work on the “setup wizard” part which personalises the “platform” to your liking.

i know it won’t be easy since it’s up to tons of clients to do it themselves, but i think we have a good start but could do better with helping ppl understand the importance of their nsec & help onboard them a lil better

💯

The final 10% of personalizing is key. I have some ideas to test.
