Problem: nostr onboarding experience is more painful than it needs to be

I've onboarded a large number of people to nostr and have been observing their reactions.

The experience is more painful than it needs to be.

Solution:

A dedicated onboarding experience of some kind. I guess a simple PWA would be best.

This would guide the new user into:

* creating a profile

* creating and uploading a profile picture (crop etc)

* scan an npub qr code and guide them into creating and sending their first note, tagging whoever introduced them so that they see it and can boost the note

* give them their nsec and some basic instructions on keeping it secret

* give them links to the latest APK or PWA apps for their phone (fk the apple walled garden)

It would **not** give them a NIP5 service, they should discover this on their own later.

A bot should then reply to them giving them some basic instructions on:

* protecting their nsec

* suggest some other clients to try

* suggest some lightning wallets and provide instructions on adding LUD16 or whatever

Nostr needs a way to follow topics/hashtags in addition to people. Particularly for new users who may not know who to follow yet, but know the topics they’re interested in.
