📱My Top 7 Nostr mobile clients to introduce friends and family to The Nostr

1. Amethyst:

Although it’s only for Android users, most people I know use it. While it has several settings that can seem intimidating at first, there’s really no need to tweak them too much. Just create a new private key and you can start using it easily.

2. Primal:

For iOS users, it’s similar to Amethyst, although it doesn’t have as many settings that might impress. I think this can also dampen some imagination and curiosity about learning more about the protocol itself.

3. Jumble (and its forks):

This would also be among my first choices if it had a mobile app. Although it can be used from the browser without any problem, “normies” are conditioned to expect downloadable apps from app stores — and there’s little that can be done against that.

4. Coracle:

This would be my first choice. However, it’s slow when loading feeds. And the first thing that comes out of a “normie’s” mouth when it takes a bit is “it doesn’t work...”.

5. Voyage:

It’s excellent for avoiding distractions and focusing on written content, but “normies” look for the best way to waste their time. They might find it very boring.

6. Nostrudel:

It’s the best there is, but it requires a more technical and deeper understanding of how the protocol works.

7. Damus:

The general recommendation is to leave iOS and use Android, but if there’s no other option, maybe as a last resort I’d recommend Damus.

What do you always recomend first to a newbie and why??
