What do you think about snort in terms of UX? It looks reliable to me, but let me know I'd be glad to have your opinion.

I see flourishing different purpose oriented front-end like live steam, wiki, pastebin, torrent explorer, voice over nostr (nip-100: WebRTC signaling over nostr).

App owners can cut cost and quickly spin new ideas by relying on existing relays instead of having to set an entire infrastructure.

Concerning the part on spams and harmful contents, one could provide relays that would manage custom authentication and moderation mechanisms.

App owners could make the choice of limiting their user base to access those specific "safe" relays at nearly 0 cost to update.

With private relays, there are incentive mechanisms for the market to provide custom communication filtering services to the front-end devs.

What do you think?

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe there at deeper trouble I didn't realize yet, let me know

I tried Snort and found it completely unacceptable within less than a minute. I don't remember what the trouble was. Maybe it just doesn't work on Firefox.

Primal is the only client that lets me upload pics and properly displays my content. But it doesn't let me delete anything. Nor does it give me any control over my feed. So... posting good..... consuming content worse than useless.

Satellite lets me delete, but can't upload anything properly and I have no idea what it's trying to show me, but also worse than useless in terms of giving me a feed of stuff I want to see.

Iris will make a nice feed for me but pics don't work, and no delete button...

I have already spent FAR MORE time fiddling around with Nostr clients than any normal user will, and I'm nowhere near satisfied.

99.9999% of users will abandon Nostr after 30 seconds (right now Primal is not letting me type what I want. It's forcing me to use a fucked up emoji I don't want)

Overall Nostr is a giant pile of problems

Okay, interesting feedback. One main issue is that those clients don't implement NIP-09 (as far as I understand)
