Also true!
Curation by an npub (with a profile, reputation, etc) beats a closed source algo any day.
The perfect short form for this would of course be Stories
Open source algorithms are good enough.
It's the same "problem" Wikifreedia has.
Imagine using hashtags like that to add feeds to #Wikifreedia pages of users explaining the topic in short form.
π‘ Onboarding idea:
Instead of explaining Nostr, Relays, Keys etc in your app (like you're some central authority of Truth)
Why not just link to a curated #WhatisNostr feed where actual users explain what Nostr is to them?

We hope so too!
Primal followed nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft's lead on this. I think nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x was the first client to implement the top zaps feature.
nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr was first to be fair π
Exactly why I picked it!
I'm two mockups away of convincing nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft, who then might convince nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr π
Same for using the exact same swipe actions on posts in the feed as on messages in the chats
3. Aaaand in the Design System I'm sketching out now it doesn't even matter if the user doesn't discover the swipe and long press features because there's always a second way to do the exact same thing (zapping, commenting, bookmarking, ...)
2. Another part of the solution is to use these stories to introduce awesome swipe and long press features in literally sceonds. More on this very soon.
1. Part of the solution is keeping the UI consistent across the whole app.
Same bottom bar for commenting on a Post:
As well for Chats etc:
