#Nostr is technically difficult to the tune of 15 minutes of learning, this has evolutionarily eliminated 99.999999% of all #women and 99.9% of all #men from joining.
More than revealing how much more technically difficult Nostr could be, what nostr needs is an app/website/client even #HomerSimpson could be up and running on in under a minute.
1) Install Nostr
2) Quick and easy default setup
3) #Noting in under 1 minute with under 1 #IQ
What challenges do you think your average person has when using nostr compared to any other tool?
Seriously good question, and that is where #Nostr/#Primal should begin to grow their brand; and let me tell you, smart people can't and shouldn't answer this question.
So, sit down with your #Dog, and ask him, why can't you log into #Nostr? Because your dog can answer better than I ever could.
Discovering what's missing from the feed, and utility, most people aren't looking for a platform where they can't be censored, they're looking for information regarding their local fire station, their favorite artists, what congress is doing, news or even drama or political drama.
Got it, so you're thinking of nostr as just a twitter replacement I'd assume?
If that's the case then maybe I'd agree with you, but that's the network effect, rather than a technical problem, is it not? Twitter had the same problem at the start, "how do we get people to use this, if people aren't using this?"
Nostr is honestly so much more than just twitter, it's honestly better to compare it to a layer on top of http that handles identity, decentralized data publishing and validation, and it just so happens that twitter (kind 1) apps are among the easiest to develop. Personally the microblogging/kind 1 is the least exciting part of nostr to me.
What I meant by that, in case you're not technically inclined, is that many more applications can be built (and are being built) on this protocol, and with the twitter-clones we're just scratching the surface!
No, but I do think it's closer to an RSS replacement. I was just answering what I think the challenges are for an average person has when using Nostr compared to any other tool. It's great to be technicaly inclined, but the average person cares about the utility of a tool, not how many purposes it has, you can find a knife in almost every house in the world, you can't say the same about one of those multitools that can slice, screw, punch and press.
I fully agree that to attract new people to Nostr we need very simple steps for beginners.
For me https://nostr.com/ was very useful and I am using it to invite clients of my little business to contact me on Nostr.
