Nostr Web Client

The comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38718544 are proof that we can't make "just apps" and have people use them without knowing that Nostr is a thing. Users must know.

And in fact I think it is much easier to teach people about Nostr than about why your damn app doesn't have email+password login and where is it storing things and how does moderation work without telling them about Nostr.

And when they finally understand the basics of Nostr they will suddenly understand everything about not only your app, but about all other Nostr clients.

I have to partially disagree. People should not have to understand the underlying tech to use a product. Most people are not even aware that JSON exists. If they have no technical background, why would they even try to understand it?

I really like the idea of nostr, but even as a technically capable person, I found the current apps cumbersome (unfortunately).

It could help to teach concepts like "moderation works locally" but I don't see why users need to understand that this is due to the underlying architecture of relays.

I am truly excited about nostr, but I believe there is still a lot of work before broader adoption could happen.
