Sorry, just seeing your message. I agree, the Nosta onboarding flow needs to become less linear and work better with key managers, Nostr connect, etc. My question is just how would you let people worry about their keys later and still have 99.99% chance that the keys don't get lost somehow?
nostr:npub1kuc70777tsvj67fl75s2dmy376t97hv05xmyuyshzzy6vhj5q5jstv0eyw wd love to send people to nosta.me for onboarding to nostr. (That is … until my client at vote.gold is launched). Because of the heavy (over?) emphasis on key management (memorization test?) unfortunately I do not. Just saying… I am not gonna put my friends through that.
If nosta implemented some version of “let me worry about keys later” … it would be one step closer to handling the onboarding tidal wave that is to come for nostr.
Let me know how I can help.

Thanks for asking.
I wouldn’t worry. What’s the harm?
Profile keys have no value upon first creation. Their value grows only over time, as a user creates content with them.
State briefly and unambiguously the importance of key privacy. “Do not share with friends. Do not copy and paste into browsers. Lost is lost.” And then let people loose their keys.
Give great experiences, and they will come back.
