Agree with nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac and nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q on the overall UX and sure you’ll take these into consideration. Appreciate the work you’re all doing here 🫡. The link previews need some work as well imo - just seen this with emojis and video previews not being displayed:

Ya. I’m gonna link to snort for now (though I don’t know what those preview links look like). Njump is just too confusing imo.

Tricky one to balance what new and existing users will want to see. Just tested snort and no link preview shown:

Yeah that needs to be fixed.

Has to be 2 different services

I’m not sure it does. I quite like both yours and Neil’s UIs with just the post and choice of clients to open that post in a client (maybe NIP-89 integration, if that’s applicable). Advanced users can click a drop down for more details.

For the education piece, a simple introduction paragraph and a link out to nostr.com to learn how the protocol works could be sufficient. I know there’s been some talks recently about making nostr.com more user-centric as opposed to develop-centric.

Obviously this isn’t my project, but just a few opinions from a non-dev. Hope it helps 🤙

Yeah I thought it could work too. Less styled, fewer things on screen while preserving ability to see all that stuff in details. How often do advanced users see njump an anyway? I dunno… I imagined this is mostly for new users where it makes sense to hide as much as possible. Maybe my UI is still unclear through. People may still get confused about what’s in front of them. Adding text to read won’t help - no one reads anything.

I think we may be fine linking to your client of choice. New users don’t need options, they can discover them later. But if this is not for new users then info density is fine probably. Fewer clicks

Totally agree with this vision. If an advanced users wants to see those details, they’ll go to a client that serves them.
