and yes, they have cohesive design! Need more designers on nostr who are thinking end to end and through complete workflows.

UI/UX should definitely be a focus for Nostr, if can be pretty overwhelming for new people

Yes. Really needs a significant focus.

I could see why someone would choose to use Bluesky as the UI is familiar and easy, Nostr can be a bit too tech-focused for the average user, if that makes sense?

#[7]​ and I spoke exactly about this on what we recorded today

My point was that, using jack’s “running from vs running towards”, building stuff that is in the “running from” bucket is easier to design since a great body of work on UX exists that can be largely copied

But the “running towards” is, by definition, new paradigms that need to be explored and UX might suffer until the nature of the solutions that emerge become clearer

We’re going to make this better

There is tension between experimentation because of a new data paradigm and ease of use.

Both are important.

Oh 100%, I love Nostr and I'm definitely here for the long haul.

I think so far from my client experimenting Damus has it down the best so far

Damus is the most ‘user-friendly’ by far but there’s something in the underlying UX/UI that makes it unpalatable to your average social media junkie

It’s ok to be an alternative for the addicts

hehehe.

nostr in its current form reminds me a bit of the early-00s IRC days, where knowledge was a currency, because not everyone who used the chat relay had it

💯

True. And I think design is a biggest selling point from users perspective

Makes everything easier

Need them in a team

agreed
