We need a dedicated on boarding client, set keys, profile, relays with walkthrough and then have a safe way to explore other clients
Wow nostr onboarding is still so terrible!
Tried to onboard nostr:npub1njdrhhrdcc9qsqf0tqscxyplxf7wmfd6mgke0ugg6dxqctggf8dsvahgx5 to nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg …
- no wallet available in the U.K.
- set them up with a fountain lighting address but trying to paste into primal the scroll view was impossible to paste in (finally got it but normal user would have churned)
- followed him but viewing his profile didn’t show me as a follower and didn’t give him a notification
- tried zapping his first note but it didn’t work - only zapping their profile worked
nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr sorry for the critical feedback but hopefully this is useful for you guys!

There is so much we can do for Nostr, but OpenSats is dev-led, and devs in the tech world are know for being bad business men.
On the other hand, Primal is addictively cool.
I tried creating an Alby wallet for my younger cousin because he's so eager to learn about #Bitcoin and #nostr but now it only works through invites and I see many users struggling to get invites.
Thats a common problem these days, there are forums where you can get it from people, but you also can try for a #asknostr, maybe someone can help you with that.
I remember doing my onboarding by joining GetAlby's server on Discord, getting in touch with their #helpdesk and being able to get an automated invite. It was actually a very simple process and I'm almost 40 years old, my younger cousin is only 30 years old, but he has no clue what Discord is or does, 2 weeks have passed and still no joy. Part of the onboarding process is user based research.
I have some invites for #getAlby!
DM me for invite code... or betatest of something new!
Grab this one: e4a77504
If someone else takes it first, then you gotta try #getAlby new selfcustodial one ;)

Agree, users don’t have awareness about what is needed to understand privacy and application.
☝🏼This is exactly what I’m working on… but better. The “walkthrough” is provided by advocates, who invite their friends to Nostr. Customizable invites allows for different welcome screens and recommendations for content and friends.
Coming soon….

Absolutely and 100% fully agree. All of this is being built by nostr:nprofile1qqsd7ele5ljpzft5tjl84naae5pkj9uqcepa77adwr6ayyy0948uyqqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtdv9hxcmnxd3uh57t2dpnkswfhxp6rsmtddenhyerew33hqvm2wfkkzcfkxe6nsdpkvankwdm5xgcxxem3w9m8jm3ew3hr7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshsavanjs.
