Yes, you're right. I usually hang on global though - maybe I don't have the right relays on. I'm sure if I invest more time, I can improve the experience --- but that's kinda it. How can we improve the onboarding experience?
Is there any other way to explore, except for tags?
Maybe some apps I'm missing that make this easier?
Take a look at nostrdesign.org
Seen this; Was the first page I've looked at, developing a client :)
Cool. There are many proposed solutions to some of the things you’ve been asking about. Just a matter of time until everything shapes up. It’s all a lot of work.
Absolutely, things will look totally different in a year.
Or maybe they won't. Maybe Nostr won't be around any longer, or the community just a few hundreds big. Or maybe, there's a better protocol, to replace Nostr - I don't know - What I know is, I'll keep complaining because usually complains yield good suggestions from people smarter than me.
Constructive feedback is very valuable and I’m glad you’re airing this out for everyone. It’s hard to hear these things sometimes but there is truth in what you’re saying (at least to me). The way you phrase things doesn’t bother me, but it may affect other people who are doing their best to help in any way they can. You have to remember that even thought the community is heavily bitcoin focused, we can’t exactly dial the negativity meter all the way down. We need people to stick around and work on ways to grow the apps. A lot of it just comes down to getting the word out, even if nothing else changes from here on out (but it will). I would encourage you to be a bit more constructive in your observations. Or not, what do I know 🤷♂️ just a purple cat 🐱
well said. for me, I love people complaint. there is only two kinds of protocol, (A the one that people complaint it sucks, (B. the one that nobody use and care about
I see everything as feedback. Sometimes just less constructive. We need to hear all of it and not hide.
But I’m also up for the challenge. It’s a tall feat and that makes it all the more interesting. Nobody said it would be easy. But we have the right people here so I’m optimistic!
exactly
Your comments in this thread got me thinking and decided to write a note about it. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
Also as a side note... I feel like global is a net negative for nostr. It doesn't put the best foot forward at all. It's a mess and the content is just too... crude? Not sure I have the right word to describe it. Sure it (sorta) helps in discovery but I think the positives it brings for new users are far far outweighed by the negative. It's all about perception, especially when it comes to early day adoption and global is just an ugly shitshow imo.
