Shows that there's a lot of potential for nostr which is great

Agreed on focusing on UX now not later, and it's improving at tremendous pace which is awesome

I feel a lot of ppl make these decisions without ever seeing a nostr app

I think this line says a lot

"They just want to feel safe"

note1almcr7wtt4crdd8zfzfr6h8nuft4l30ar8aucqpekj637c2eprcqpkrgtu

There's an audience of ppl who just want Twitter-without-Elon (sorry Elon) and want to feel safe

Starting with the name

Bluesky

Relaxing, un-threatening, appealing, beautiful, open

The landing page https://bsky.app/

Clean, minimalist, professional, corporate-y, reassuring

Step 2, a walled-garden

Safe, keep those birds-of-prey out

Starting with the name nostr

What does that mean?

notes and other stuff transmitted by relays

What does that mean?

Where is the landing page?

Confusion => anxiety

I doubt nostr can follow the same growth path as Bluesky

It may likely be slower

But also inexorable

The tide coming in vs a surge

Riffing on Eliza's note

The first vector may be ppl living on or looking for the edges

Artists

Free spirits

Engineers

Homesteaders

Rootless travellers

Freedom tech pioneers

Dissidents esp in countries where KYC risks are huge

Ppl like me, old and jaded

Followed by the edgy and their groupies

Followed by more mainstream interests

Bluesky will attract those journalists who like a corporate-y official feel and their followers

All is highly speculative

I like what you said in your talk at nostrasia about getting feedback from real user testing... that would be great

To be a bit more action than words I'll test out on a few "volunteers"

I don't know where is a good place to start?

Which clients?

Or

Which profile generators?

Or

Which "about nostr" landing pages?

Maybe this is the first UX question for nostr ... where to start? 😃
