Nostr Web Client

It's better than what it was before on a non-outbox client, where users need to constantly check the relays their follows are using and update their lists accordily. In this one, it is set and forget. Just make sure your posts are there. The app does the rest.

Wow. Ok. If you’re hopping to onboard “normal” users. keep pushing for seamless startup experience. We as experienced users (and devs) understand the importance of relays. But new users should not have to understand what they are the first time they open a Nostr app. Most normal people aren’t going to want to learn. They just want their app to work. That’s what it is going to take for more adoption. Barriers to entry just means people will get frustrated and leave.

All this is intended to be constructive. You’ve built a ton of functionality, but it isn’t as easy as you make it sound. Remember not everyone has your life experience.

Makes sense. But if they don't understand which relays are hosting their content, there is absolutely no point on nostr. If they come to nostr just to use default servers of an app, that is not any different from a Twitter or Facebook. You only get any freedom if you control your posts, where they are. Otherwise, we didn't change anything. We can obviously hide these things away, but then we are not doing anything new here.

It's like using Bitcoin with custodial wallets. It's not that different from regular fiat.

I agree. But I think we can do like a Crawl. Walk. Run. Approach. Not everyone needs to know everything immediately.

I didn’t learn multi-sig wallets with mini-script restrictions first.

I learn how to buy. Then send to a hot wallet. Then how to generate cold wallets etc.

We need to build a path to sovereignty.
