Nostr Web Client

I don’t think so.

I always struggle with this; where’s the line? Isn’t this a terrible, attention seeking, dark pattern that we don’t want to mirror?

And, on the other hand, are we fighting with a hand tied behind our back? Where’s the line on what ethical grounds you should yield to in the seek of adoption? Is adoption even the right metric? I thought it was but it’s definitely not to me anymore.

Which is the line that, once you cross it, you end up undermining the whole endeavor?

Don’t get me wrong; there’s a place for notifications, no doubt and I will add them to some of my clients where it makes sense.

But the Hooked style patterns of trying to hack your users brains is not something we should (at least I won’t, maybe to my detriment, who knows) mimic.
