Dropped a few small improvements to Nostr.how just now.

- Better light mode styles. In some cases you couldn’t see text you should have been able to.

- Fixed instructions and screenshot for Alby Nostr settings.

- Hide the mobile menu on link click.

Thanks to everyone who continues to support. 🫂🤙⚡️

Hi Jeff thanks for your work. As a simpleton novice, I was/am very step-by-step and was thrown by step 4 on Get Started With Iris as there was no "nostr" option on the secondary menu (as shown on the how-to) in _my_ Iris set up. Turns out to be a nothingburger in the overall process once one sees what one is trying to do, but this "nostr" menu option instruction is still present on Step 4 and may be a source of confusion for other non-savvy newbies. A friend suggested wording such as "retrieving the public and private keys which 'may be' found in the nostr option"--or elsewhere if there is no nostr option presented, as in my case. Dunno, maybe not really worth the effort.

Aside: this may be a good time for me to figure out screenshots in here since the one I took of the current Getting Started page to demo my point aint pasting!

Thanks Matilda! Appreciate the feedback. I’ve just read through the steps and I’m not sure I fully understand. Is it the step of getting a newly created private key from iris and taking it to Alby or something else?

I’d love to clarify it if I can.

Dang it , I went to look at Settings and it lost my whole reply draft??

So, again....

On https://nostr.how/en/guides/iris (with a handy dandy picture under step 4):

4. However, we’re going to make sure we’re using the app in the safest way possible. Head to “Settings” on the left and then click “Nostr” in the secondary menu.

5. Copy your public key and your “nsec” private key. These should be stored somewhere VERY safe. Like a password manager (we like 1Password).

When I was setting up yesterday there was no "nostr" option listed in the secondary menu under Settings as described in the step by step instructions....and when I looked just now there still isnt...and this threw me. Upon the realization that I was simply looking for the two keys--both found at that time under "Account" at the top of the secondary menu list--the absence of the nostr option as shown in the step by step guide is no big deal...but I kind of had a nostr advocate to reassure me that the keys were really all I wanted to find in that step and I wonder if the confusion might turn other dummies like me off on that step. While looking under Settings just now (and thus losing my prior draft reply) I notice that only the public key is present as opposed to yesterday while setting up, which I suppose is why saving the private key is so important.

Did that hep?

You should also get your lightning wallet setup in your Nostr profile so I can zap you! ⚡️
