I couldn't remember what I didn't like about coracle, so I just tried it again. I think your aesthetic comparison is on point. What turned me off, though, is that it constantly asks for approval to sign events that are a mystery to me what the events are. I know I could just blindly trust and set to automatically approve everything (and I usually just blindly approve anyway); but I'm not convinced that's a viable long-term expectation for a client to make. noSturdel only asks for approval to sign events when there's an obvious reason for it (like when I post a note).
