Replying to Fauxfoe

Yeah, the nostr onboarding experience is pretty terrible. There are too many entrypoints, most of them are rote instructions that don't actually explain anything, and they differ in arbitrary and inscrutable ways. #grownostr is a bit of joke --- the vast majority of people who consider joining will balk at the current onboarding experience.

I agree. There’s simultaneously two illogical things

1. Hide how Nostr actually works in the UX to make it more similar to existing apps like Twitter (even if Nostr then just appears like a more broken twitter)

2. Fight hard to push alien and weird UX just because a few people *really* think it’s a good idea and nobody thought of an alternative yet (this is where insane complexity is introduced like the signer ecosystem)
