After carefully reviewing nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac feedback, I realize that I struggle to explain things clearly to new users. Some features make sense when you have data, but for new users, they can be quite confusing.

Here’s what I’m working on to improve the experience:

- Add a proper onboarding process to give a brief introduction to the app.

- Make the folder feature optional - it’s useful for organizing 100+ chats, but for new users with fewer than 10 chats, it can be confusing.

- Add a contact search feature for easier connections.

- Add a self-chat option for saving notes.

- As a chat app, it feels pretty boring when you have no contacts or ongoing conversations. You open the app and just see a blank screen. I plan to improve this by adding public channels and communities.

If it were me I would not add communities. Less is more. I think all Nostr devs are making this mistake - the desire to add more features.

Agree, I still skeptical about communities, I don't think coop really need this.

When people encounter a wildly different app, they don’t know how to classify it. Too many features (however useful) may actually drive them way because they won’t see how it fits into their life and what tools it’s replacing. It also becomes much more difficult to market. Clear purpose and clear feature set to accomplish that purpose is easier to communicate and resonates better, more sticky.

Make it easy for new users to add contacts and to send out invites.

Yes, I've a plan for invite feature, user will have a url, share it with their friend via tradition platforms (sms, mail,..), then other user can be onboarding via this url

Nice
