We need to make the new user experience on nostr better. Bluesky’s topped a million users but our growth with nostr hasn’t kept up. I’m very pumped on Nostr and think we’ve got a better model for building social apps, but there are problems.


Wallets and keys are hard to understand, browser extensions make sense if you’re coming from the crypto world, but most people don’t get them. We need a login with nostr that works like / with oauth. We need better contact discovery, content warnings, apps to have by default anti-spam filters, etc… Unsexy stuff where we go from it works for me to it works for non-technical users.

Enfin le problème est dès le départ, heureux qu'on ait des sites Alby qui ont pu permettre de créer un compte avec des clés d'équerre. Je peux témoigner de ma galère en 2O22 dernier sur github où il fallait passer pour créer un compte et des clés. J'étais sur nostr dès le départ avec u...

An npub/nsec is no different to the end user than username/password, except you can't recover or change your password. Why is this difficult to explain, because it looks worse than a password?
