Nostr Web Client

Hey Dalia & Lana.

The new UI is looking nice & clear enough imo.

But this will be a big restructure for both the commenting feature & some parts of the user's profile, so there are several things on my mind that I would like to throw.

I think first of all, we should precisely determine what are the problems or difficulties we have with our current system.

Are they actually problems that should be "solved"?? (Cause with nostr, some features are supposed to be in a specific way).

& How are the other nostr clients handling them.

I know that for people who don't know what nostr is, it's not that clear to use.

But at the same time, (& this is my personal opinion), we shouldn't confuse people who are already using other nostr clients & are expecting some things to work in a specific way.

I think the term bolt.fun identity will not be very clear on what it is.

I am not sure at the moment what it is exactly...

I think the first assumption will be that it means your bolt.fun profile.

I know that the modals content for when the user chooses the boltfun identity option are still not finished, so this might not be the case, but I would think that any user on bolt.fun has a bf identity, & it's his profile.

I think that's it.

I know my feedback isn't structured very well propably. So let know if you have a different opinion on any of the points.

Nice work tho. 👍👍

Another few points to keep in mind:

\- Having a nostr account connected in my BF profile does NOT mean I can use this account to comment.

To be able to comment means that I'm able to sign my comments using either an extension or some tool.

\- Syncing profile data between BF profile & nostr profile

These are 2 different profiles, think like your google profile, & any other profile you signed-in to using your google profile.

Updating one profile data doesn't mean (most of the times) that the other profile is getting updated automatically.

Cause there will be several issues if this would to happen.

Also, updating nostr profile data also requires signing the update event by the private key.

I personally think that we don't necissarly need to allow the user to update his nostr profile from bolt.fun

(& I think we should definitely not try to automatically update it)

2 reasons:

\- It can get out of sync easily. Whenever the user changes any of his info from any other nostr client, the profiles data will be out of sync with our BF profile.

\- We are almost not using the user's profile data anywhere.

We try to see if this nostr profile is connected to one of our BF profiles, & if so, we always display our BF profile data.

So we are not making any use of his nostr profile data if it's created on some other client.

\- Should we allow users to comment using a nostr profile that is NOT connected to a BF account??

Currently, we do.
