Nostr Web Client

I think users can definitely learn how to identify relays and deal with them, and I don't even think that will be painful, it will be a nice part of the experience. Users are already used to switching between different social media apps, document sharing apps, instant messaging apps and groups and subgroups inside the same app, or different functions and ways of sharing inside the same app

That is not a painful experience (although it is in some cases), no one has felt the need to write a good "aggregator app" that puts together all feeds from multiple platforms in the same app and hides the platforms so users don't even have to know their names.

Looks like #[0] 's DREAM.

Yes, it is, but I'm tired of being a dreamer.

The relay “view” selection, broadcasting to single or multiple relays, and other details like that would need to be easy to navigate and select in the clients

I'm non tech and use amethyst. I have added paid relays but for me the relay element of nostr remains confusing.

I think a list of relays in a settings menu is definitely very confusing to everybody, no exceptions, but that's nothing what I had in mind in here. (I forgot to put a reference to my previous note.)

I’m getting more confused too over time - esp with more missing notes. Are relays gonna be like TV programmes users can pick and choose at some point ? Maybe the list can come with a preview then.

Pablo Xannybar 2y ago

Agreed. We just need a UX to filter feeds and notes to specific relays or groups of relays. Once that's done, users will get the hang of it no problem.

While relay paths are not nearly as scary looking to a normie as npubs or other sorts of public keys, if there was a way to set up simple ID shortcuts (sort of like how we can identify lightning nodes with simple user selected names), that would go a long way for normie users to be willing to learn and deal with relays.
