Nostr Web Client

Proof-of-Concept: onboardstr.vercel.app

Objective: billions must generate nostr accs

I think this should be the way we onboard 80% of ppl to nostr. i had a friend download damus then i proceeded to bore them with ‘follow this guy’ or ‘add this relay too btw’.

add your npub to the end of the onboardstr url, and when your friend generates an nsec they will have all the same follows/relays as you straightaway. instantly their feed is lively, and they can curate it themselves from there.

If it also generated a relay list and a URL that you would click and it would open a client with your nsec already set up there ready to be used I think this would be perfect.

Maybe instead of prompting the user to assign a name you let the person who invites to pre-fill their name for them. So if I'm inviting Bob to Nostr I just give him a link that already sets his name to Bob.

Once Bob is using Nostr they can change their name as they please.

All my friends would be called Dick in this case. So I agree wholeheartedly

We should also be able to pick a client so they get a link that prompts them to install a client as well as the rest above. If I could send an invite link by message that would get many invites out there.

Perhaps they don't want to be doxxed from the get go.

We all know there's a good chance that what's in the nostr might never be erased.

But

Iris.to has a good solution. It assigns a random name (adjective+noun) to each nsec when they onboard. You can change the display name but the funny one remains.
