Dejargonizing nostr for newbies and non-technical people

(Attempt No. 1)

Npub: Your identity on Nostr. This is like your username. You find people by asking for their npubs. If you want their content to show up on your feed, you need to follow them.

Nsec: The password you use to sign in and access your account. Never share this with anyone. To create a new account, all you need to do it generate a new nsec and you're in.

Relay: A place where your content is stored and accessed by other people. On traditional social media, these would be called servers. Servers and Relays are pretty much the same thing in terms of the purpose they serve. If you want to use a relay, you'll have to add them on your profile section. Make sure you go to the profiles of people you follow and add the relays they've added as well. This way, there is no single point of failure for you and your friend's interaction and content.

Client: Software that allows you to interact with these relays. Clients can be websites, PWA's or mobile apps. You need to login to these clients in order to access your Nostr account. You can do it by simply entering your nsec in the login page.

Event: It is an interaction with all the relays you have added in your profile. (If a client doesn't let you add or remove your own relays, avoid using it.)

Event kind: It describes the type of interaction you have with the network. Each event kind will be identified by a particular number.
