Nostr Web Client

When I joined Nostr at the end of January there were few web services and even fewer mobile apps to use it, I didn't even understand what zaps were and I felt very lost.

I can't imagine people signing up now.

It is very difficult to keep up with all the new things and for many of them there are no guides.

The developers take too many things for granted and instead should think not only about being first to publish the next big thing, but also about explaining to ordinary users how to use it.

I agree, the new user experience is definitely not there yet and Nostr will never take off until more attention is given to it.

I was overwhelmed I first got AOL

This is the way

Absolutely agree.

But it is also true that developers, as individuals, cannot always be teachers. We need more people like nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc and nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 focused on creating good informative content.

No, certainly developers cannot teach everything, but at least some guidelines on how to use the services created would be necessary

daniele 2y ago

Do you have any specific example to share, where more guidelines/docs would really improve the tool?

🟠 isolabellart 2y ago

Anything born on Nostr needs a guideline and I'm not speaking for myself, but to attract new users.

I heard that devs don’t like social interaction, so Derek became official Nostr spokesperson

Its not as easy as silo'd services but I have found it worth the effort. There's a sense of accomplishment in learning to use the tools. This is a great resource to share with new users.

I don’t understand why so many people here think that using #Nostr is difficult. Getting a couple of npub/nsec (which can be explained as a couple login-password) and installing the client is not much different from any service with registration. And then, on the advice of #nostriches, install a LN wallet with an LN address (like email) and save it in your profile - what could be simpler?

By the way #ZBD making it easy.

What so funny? You've all been through this. Even if you didn’t know what Bitcoin, Lightning Network and private keys were. But you are here.

people don't have time, they don't read and they complain

🟠 isolabellart 2y ago

Su questo sono pienamente d'accordo, vogliono tutti la pappa pronta.

Però poi non lamentiamoci che qui non vengono tutti, che sono tutti accecati dalle gabbie dorate, perché non sono tutti smanettoni e quelli che non lo sono, e sono la maggioranza, quando vogliono provarlo finiscono nel falso Nostr che è ZBD.

Non ci sono persone, c'è solo sviluppo di idee

Hi @`Isolabell.art 🎨`, I've been an early adopter of many technologies, some easy, others far from my expertise.

At the beginning, there's enthusiasm in understanding how to use them, and then also the discouragement of not being able to harness all the possibilities that technology offers.

We're very early adopters here, but maybe for you, the "binge" of wanting to learn everything all at once works against you.

It often happens that a single feature is enough for a user; you don't necessarily have to know/learn the entire environment.

🟠 isolabellart 2y ago

Spero di aver tradotto correttamente, comunque non parlavo per me stesso, non ho problemi a seguire tutte le novità e anzi mi entusiasma studiare cose nuove.

Più che altro ho notato difficoltà ultimamente nei nuovi utenti che si trovano spaesati.

Anche nel nostro gruppo Telegram di Nostr Italia, se hai visto.

Mr Betz 2y ago

Sissì, anch’io rispondevo all’utente generico nuovo 😅

Anche su altri social ci sono utenti spaesati e che usano l’1% delle potenzialità 🥹
