What is the most barebones Nostr app you can think of, so that when I send a newbie to sign up, they don't think "Nostr is ..."

By that I mean, the focus is so much on social media. Newbies finding Nostr via Twitter or on youtube etc are almost pre-programmed to think "Nostr is social media", which is not the reality, it's a whole fricking internet in the making.

So I want my (go to iris.to) instructions to be:

- Go to "nostr-no-name" (little clue what Nostr is)

Add a nym

Press Go!

Settings > Keys - Copy the key pair into a password manager

- Open browser settings

Search for getalby

Install

Add key pair.

- To find out what Nostr is all about

Download #Zap Store

Check out https://nostr.net/

Check out #Amethyst #Primal social media and start following cool Nostr peeps where you will find many suggestions for great Nostr websites, apps and more.

Thanks

I'd say that Primal fits this narrative best.

Checking out primal, any idea how you find someone by their npub or @address? Struggling with the search concept. My use case, if I get someone to sign up to Nostr I want to say that if they find me by my npub or nosr address I can help them with follows, findign their way around, that, kind of thing.

My recommendation for anyone on Android would be:

Download Amber and generate a key pair.

Download Spring Browser and plug in the new nsec.

Download Amethyst and login using Amber. Set up profile in Amethyst.

Go explore all the web apps on Spring and marvel at the fact the profile made on Amethyst is the same profile displayed on all of the web apps.

I'm liking that idea. Straight in at high level security.

Yes, and Amber is dead simple to use for any Android client supporting NIP-55. It's only slightly more complicated for clients supporting NIP-46. And it's a great way to get your keys generated locally on your device. Amber also gives you a mnemonic backup seed phrase by default.

I still haven't figured out how to get it to work with Spring Browser, though...
