How do we onboard newbies who may look the other way if they realize they need to download another thing and set it up just to access the app?
Discussion
installing an extension it's a one time thing, all apps should be directing you to login/register by pointing you there
except onboarding apps
onboarding apps for extreme newbies should be ok generating keys for you and letting you download them to experiment
Isn‘t that what Alby does? Never used it, but from what I‘ve read that‘s about what it’s supposed to do. @getAlby
Alby flow isn’t the best imo. I had issues setting it up myself. I think most newbies would drop off on it. Maybe 70% at least if I’m being generous.
speaking of which, we need more onboarding apps
they do nothing, just explain, briefly, what is nostr (without using the word "decentralized" since 99.999% ppl don't care about that), allow you to setup a profile, do some very basic interaction, but customized to capture top of the funnel
would be lit!
It already exist. It’s called Getcurrent.
It says power of bitcoin right on the landing page. This alone may scare off 99% of the people 😔
Ok, but I think it’s the closest you will get in terms of ease of on-boarding.
I don’t think you can play around with relays but it seems to be as straightforward as you can get for now.
I’ve reviewed the app once already, will take a fresh look later. I sent the video to the team but didn’t hear anything back.
As someone who didn’t used lightning till nostr, built in wallets feel like a scam, or at least make it seem like the intention is less about decentralization and more about proselytizing bitcoin.
I think built in wallets are ok, they just should be opt in, you should have the option to link any wallet you like, and then it’s presented as a convenience.
