Writing this note was not a smooth experience anywhere, I was afraid I was going to mention the wrong pubkeys.
This is Snort:
Coracle:

But Gossip won at the end.

Is that because you don’t speak Japanese though? Looks good in Coracle
Even if I did how would I know these names were the correct people? The keys have vanished. It's better to have the full profiles somewhere, or the keys and names together somehow, I don't know.
Also the fact that people have both name and display_name confuses the hell out of me, as well as a nip05 addresses.
You’d know by profile > copy npub > paste to draft.
You also know npubs confuse the hell out of everyone else unfamiliar with keypairs.
NIP05 is the best solution I see to date albeit it’s not used as standard, but you don’t like that either.
So what do you think is the solution to recognisable / human-readable identities?
Petnames? Maybe clients should allow you to rename your contacts to begin with. Some people have names that change all the time, it annoys me. And I know some people by names different from what they themselves write on their profile, so clients should allow me to rename them.
maybe a NIP for a nostr-standardized-identicon format could be used to make visibly recognizable icons as well for peoples profiles that are derived from their pubkey.
Do you ever use the preview feature in Snort? nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg also has the same preview so that you can see what will be rendered (at least how they'll render it 😂 )
I have never seen any preview feature in Snort. Will look for it.
whoa! seriously? I use it all the time
