Is there a good reason we couldn’t have clients ask for an optional email to deliver a welcome email that explained some concepts and created a sort of to-do checklist to get the most out of nostr? Is it the cost of the email delivery tools?

Or we could build a "Welcome to Nostr" site on Github that we could share around for people who are new.

This never works.

No, unfortunately, it doesn’t…

I started playing around with the Resend email API and it’s pretty cheap at about $0.0004/email and AWS email service is even cheaper so I can’t imagine it’s that.

Wouldn’t it be better to have that onboarding experience be in the app like a guided tour?

Why not both

Those checklists are better suited for the first time opening the app, and for nudging the user when a new event happens, push notifications catch their attention better than their cluttered email inbox.

Email is best suited for more information dense information that a service needs to have a reliable place to relay to the user.

Disagree. Email is excellent at looping people back in. I’ve been using it for years to do just that.

You’ve inspired a project for me to dig into tomorrow morning. 💜 not exactly this but has given us lots to think about! Thank you sir!

You could create a menu item or a banner over top of the page that links to a page that contains that content.

Could just be a DM from the Client to the new user, containing a message or a link to a quick start guide.
