one thing I like about nostr: your account is just your private key. thats so cool.
one thing I DONT like about Nostr: if i send someone link to my account on all clients ive tried, they will be prompted to create account and than NOT be shown my account first. now they have to search for it which is confusing. If i invite someone to nostr My account should be there contact point naturally, not a collection of trending accounts
Also where can i get a true one click signup? like you could make it secure without people even realising they created an account.
ever tried nosta.me?

will link to your profile directly, nothing to search, no login
Yes, actually. My signer forwarded me to them, last test account I made. But it couldn't find me. Maybe stale relay list.
hmm interesting, never had that happen personally, maybe the test account you made didn't send the kind 0 to any of their relays? or something like that
I didn't have a kind 0. Just an nsec from the signer. I had to go someplace else, to publish a kind 0, 10002, and a few 1s, and then every client found me.
But then I don't need nosta.
the one place i consider it would be a boon for the protocol is what i call "directory events" user profile metadata, follow and mute lists, relay lists. reminds me, i at one point had an auth feature that even when a relay was not public readable it would return results for these kinds without auth. i'm defaulting to public readable at this point but for closed relays it still would make sense to allow these.
might need a new setting for enabling that. not enabling it would be more private since essentially the whitelisted users would not be advertised to exist. i already have a setting for that "private" which disables the spider as this also leaks membership lists.
i gotta put a cap on my feature requests tho lol.

cool i love coracle!
but why is this not default behaviour when i send a link of my account on coracle is beyond me. also onboarding flow is to long
it doesnt do it very sad. actually iris is also kinda broken because private messages dont work out of the box. very weird. had the same experience with corcale. i get it you wanna choose your message servers but it silently fails and thats terrible
