I just told a dev to check out Nostr and to build his social app that he's building on Nostr. His first response was that it sounds expensive. I asked him what he meant. He said that the first thing he saw was that it's $99. I was confused and looked into it...

nostr.com mentions an NSEC hardware signer for $99 on it's homepage.

I wonder if that's giving the impression that it costs $99 to use Nostr? I would not have thought of this until it just happened...

It's sad honestly, I have a @Nostr.com address but I feel the website itself is kinda being wasted, wish I owned it honestly, make it more informative. When you visit it you get a corporate company vibe if you know what I mean.

There is some good content on there to be fair though.

I believe it's very informative and very well done. Maybe some slight improvements though? I believe users may be misled to think that they need to purchase a Nostr address or buy a hardware device. This is not the case and will confuse brand new users. That flow could be changed to be less confusing.

Yeah, true. I suppose he has a right to do whatever he wants to with it though, honestly surprised Fiatjaf isn't the one who owns it.
