Subnostr

That referrer will have configured a set of initial follows. And the new user will start off just following those accounts, they won't have to sift through a bunch of never-heard-of-them names and faces, or be bombarded with a what-the-heck-is-this-all-about feed.

Like starter packs but pushing it right up to the very top of the flow. Use the referrer's Primal name for the look-up, that's cool. And a simple UI for the referrer to curate and modify the initial follows list.

Good idea...many who open a primal account give up when their feed is so empty.

Or the opposite, give up when they feel they've walked into the wrong bar.

Yes, great idea. There’s many things we can improve on with the onboarding flow. Stay tuned (and patient)

This is how https://start.njump.me works when you use it with custom followers.

Repeatedly nuked profile 11mo ago

Oh nice. You mean I could have, for example, start.njump.me/joe and configure things so that when it gets to the follow-someone step it'll suggest just the people I've added?

“joe” is meaningless in Nostr, since usernames does not exist, it is necessary to identify users by npub/nprofile.

You can personlize Nstart with this syntax:

https://start.njump.me?s=npub1hyxredcavc6ruqgsf4wf4hmakpwnvefmzaspl7dja6a2sxlx0q3sxwtqnx

In the last view your account will be present and pre-selected.

Ah, I was thinking a system internal to njump.me whereby I can generate my own custom start.njump.me invite link on a a custom jump.me subdomain (or folder), with whatever name is free, like how one's Primal name doesn't have to relate to one's Nostr username.

I suspect you're talking about something else? A client integration perhaps?

daniele 11mo ago

It's exactly what you are asking for, but there is not a short URL. You can create it yourself with any existent service, if needed.

Repeatedly nuked profile 11mo ago

Oh jeez, I just saw the Github link now, now I get what you're talking about!

Repeatedly nuked profile 11mo ago

To be clear, what I'm after is not just my own account being presented at this step here—but rather a group of accounts that I've curated. That could include myself and a few others that the invitee also knows or that I know they'd be interested in.

daniele 11mo ago

You can add more npubs separated by commas and you will obtain exactly that.

Repeatedly nuked profile 11mo ago

Ah fantastic! Not often you need something and exactly that thing exists.

On that topic (and while I've got your useful brain) some clients like Primal force you to have a Nostr username (the @one, not the display name) that contains no spaces. It won't let you save a profile update if you add a space to the username.

Other clients like Damus allow spaces. And you can quasi-hack Primal by adding a space in to the username in Damus and then coming back to Primal—the one with the space will have been updated in Primal.

Is there any sort of convention evolving there? Space, no space?

daniele 11mo ago

The "name" field in a profile can absolutely contains spaces, in fact you can use it for your full name.

I don't know why Primal impose this limit, perhaps it's something related to the fact that they also sell NIP-05 addresses, and these have to be unique, so they are forcing the relation name-address.
