Need to make nostr.com similar to mastodon landing page experience.
nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 talked about this in nostrasia. How do we make that experience better? nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4 do you still own the domain?

If it were up to me, I would make nostr.com a nice landing page with a button to try right at the top. That would lead to a client right on nostr.com, for example app.nostr.com. Maybe this could be a fork of our "best" client. It would be the easiest way to onboard people coming from search. and within the app, we expose other clients.
It’s still very confusing for regular users how things work.
For example, relays and media servers get mixed up. I did not find a simple explanation or how-to guide how to add a file hosting server on a client by googling.
Most of the Nostr guides were written before the file hosting was becoming a thing.
There’s only a few listings of servers but they look pretty technical from the UX.
Nostr.how (or something similar) would be more fitting. Nostr native? even better
Mastodon is the implementation though, not the protocol. I'm guessing that noobs don't search for activitypub. So it would be like people searching for Primal, which would probably be fine.
But I think you're right wrt the landing page. Have a button that either lets them get started instantly, or choose from a list of clients.
Nostr is what everyone talks about on Twitter on hacker news etc
what's nostr?
Of course, I agree. I just mean it's slightly harder for nostr as people will be searching for the protocol, which has a million different options for clients.
But as you say, making it very quick and easy for them to get started on nostr.com would be a great first step.
Why is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostr not the default location for Nostr things?
It should be more accessible than nostr.com which has opaque moderation and addition policies.
