"oh, we've built this great free speech thing and normies will come in droves"
Who'll tell them, genius?
Normies don't care about free speech YET. They're used to being policed on the platforms
Rant alert
Normies do NOT give a sh!t that #Nostr is a censorship-resistant "protocol"
They don't care how it works under the hood
The one real value proposition of #Nostr is a self-sovereign identity that gives you seamless access to all apps in the #Nostr ecosystem. Your credentials are portable
That's privacy and freedom
I don't think top dog Nostriches get this simple fact
So design a simple signer app that stores your keys and lets you sign into mobile apps with a bunker URL and desktop apps with a QR code
nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft whoβs building this nostr:note19y7rf0m9u42uh745zzd7mlz6l46fn4nhgdhzafyr0e4va85dsy7s340k00
So there's the protocol Nostr and the signer NSign
Simple
There should be a simple app, called NSign or something, that should store your keys, and allow to sign in to desktop apps with a QR code and mobile apps with a bunker URL
I do, however, wish there were an app that generated your keypair and allowed you to sign into desktop apps using just a QR code

One of my biggest "aha!" moments was realizing that #Nostr isn't just another social media platform.
When I first installed nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg , it felt like #Twitter with a built-in wallet (which was already super cool).
But then, when I imported my private key into nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x and nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and saw my profile magically appear, it all clicked!
In that moment, I understoodβNostr wasn't just a platform; it was something much bigger. Gosh the hours I spent on LinkedIn / IG / Facebook to create a profile and Bio all over again ππ«£
Sometimes you just have to dive in and experience it to really get it! Grateful for this patent community here who showed me step by step ππ€£πͺπ»
It's initially mind-boggling that there are no servers. Just smart clients and dumb relays
You can use your keypair to sign an event in the client, and it's published to the relays
And, your identity and notes are perfectly portable between the smart clients
What's up, good people of Nostrville?
