Nostr Web Client

making best UX and UI you’d enjoy using isn’t scam, and with comments like that are you producing anything of value for humanity?

I’m advocating for a better humane design on all of bitcoin and nostr, bitcoin should be accessible to everyone and kinda cooler than ethereum stuff no? Why are we building it like houses in a cave instead of super modern glass on a shore that’s easy to access and get into (and definitely not scary to)

Why aren’t we attracting best creative talent in and incentivizing to make bitcoin and nostr visually and from UX side spotless?

Shitcoins can pay for it while the biggest cryptocurrency can’t? I know we’re doing it like people should come on their own, figure out what bitcoin is and eventually become maxi and push it further, maybe that’s a better way.

I’m bullish though, Primal is great now and more coming, we’ll see if multiple clients concept will work, right now it seems like people are using whatever they find or is available on their platform, nothing works on all platforms equally well but we’ll get there.

At least one example, for newcomers it can be a single go to app with rewards for completing learning bites etc.

Have you actually designed anything for bitcoin or nostr? Because if you had, you would understand the technical limitations that we’re dealing with.

Only people who don’t understand how bitcoin or nostr works cry about how bad the UX is.

It doesn’t take a genius to copy great UI / UX but it does take innovative breakthroughs and creativity to make it work within the bounds of technical constraints.

The reason all the shitcoins UX works is because it’s centralized and only decentralized in name.

Makes sense, not undermining the incredible work done here, I get that it’s a lot harder than pushing a centralized thing and worth the effort.

But as long as these limitations are here, there’s little designers can do and therefore there’s little reach of that technology leaps.

I remember hearing something about Primal using caching service which is basically a centralized server no? To keep it running smoothly for UX, kind of a compromise?

Id argue there is a lot that designers can do but few even bother trying. Proof of work!

Yes we have our limits to what we can do given the tech, but for nostr the sky is the limit. We can also inform better protocol design (nips) with our insights.

Roll up the sleeves and let’s get to it 💪
