When I was a kid, my friends came over with their family to spend the day with my family. My friend had an essay that was due so I was asked to open the file on the computer using his floppy disk so he can finish it. The file wasn’t there and I immediately knew what went wrong. He didn’t click “save as” to the floppy disk. He just clicked the floppy disk icon and pulled out the floppy disk. That’s bad ux. Devs are notoriously bad at designing things that are intuitive for non devs. And the devs on nostr need to stop thinking like devs when trying to solve these ux problems. Think like people who save a pdf file to their phone but can’t find the files folder. People aren’t going to use nostr if you expect them to understand relay optimization, inbox/outbox setups, and wot. Optimizing pfps shouldn’t be on the users either.
