What if anything might nostr devs or community do specifically to better welcome non-nostr non-btc permie folk?

clients should strive to do things completely vs partially.

as much as i like amethyst, it doesnt really do anything exceedingly well. most aspects are at most 60-70% complete. i assume damus also suffers from this as there isnt enough champions to work on the various projects.

as examples...

- posting events: ux could be improved with a rich text/markdown editor or preview for markdown support. ability to drag/drop images within the text, and associate some alt/title tags for visual impaired (this last issue may be a protocol weakness). sure would be nice if users could add tags, labels and denote a post was supposed to be in a community they are in. also not sure why attachments are limited to specific image types. id like to include an mp4 or a pdf but alas, no can do within the app, i have to upload externally then manually carry that url over.

- viewing events: allow text resizing, and more menu actions like view json. allow hiding nested quoted events X+ levels deep.

- lists: this feature is at best 10% complete as you can filter by them but not create or edit them

- communities: better support than lists, but buried in a weird section of the app i refer to as the junk drawer.

- polls: partially supported. nip hasnt been finalized.

- locations: great data collection, no search support, and gps based, so for associating after the fact i need to use fakegps programs. just let me specify coordinates manually

- search: exceptionally weak. no way to use filters..not even calendar choice of since/until
