i'm a techie and i'm being far more patient about Nostr flaws and complications than the average user would be. but i they're still flaws. they need to get fixed ASAP. one of the things Steve Jobs was good at was to be a nazi about UX. was it pleasant to his employees? most decidedly not. did it create a smooth experience? most definitely yes.

having worked for 15 years in dev, my general impression is that if a dev hates doing it, the user will love it.
it's the "this is why we pay you" part of the job - the bit where you have to do a lot of stuff that sucks to make it suck less for the users.
yeah that thing any tech -> if u want it to be #adopted by general #crowd #SIMPLIFY n SERVE
80% are not like us pro-tech early adopter - they will happily pay whatever they can afford - Apple was always expensive n always will be - their appeal is SIMPLIFICATION ! there will always DIY Linux worshipers n good ol windows
when designing a user interface, assume that the user has zero patience and will ruthlessly abandon your software if it isn't smooth.
you may hate this, but it will help it get wider adoption.
to the user, programmers don't exist. what they click or poke with their finger does. your preference of framework is irrelevant.
prefer what causes that click or tap to go faster.
prefer what doesn't cause the laptop to spin the fan up. if you make code that causes fans to spin up, this will cause people to buy a new computer. this isn't necessary. you can just write efficient code instead.
