Nostr Web Client

After seeing my doctor's Patient Dashboard UI, I am convinced there are two types of apps:

1. The ones designed to watch

2. The ones designed to work

Those that stay in between don't do either very well.

I was quite impressed by the minimum number clicks and key presses to do things that are quite different from one another (e.g. anotate a retinal image in the same screen as talking about allergies). No navigation. No back and forth. Just one super packed screen with everything on it. Quite intimidating in the beginning but extremely productive if you spend your entire day in it.

We need more desktop apps like that.

I remember working retail and switching from a terminal UI based sales system to a "new & better" web based system. The terminal UI was as you said, all on one screen, functions assigned to keystrokes. It had a learning curve, but was fast & powerful when you knew what you were doing. The Web based system was slower, with some functions hidden under numerous clicks and menus. Sometimes newer and shinier isn't necessarily better.

Agree. I see a lot of these new systems being beautiful, but completely unproductive if you are going to spend 40 years, with 8hrs a day on it.

And still, people hate vim, where you have all functionality at your fingertips.
