I think Nostr would be probably 200% better if we had someone to test apps reliably.
I'm not talking about a "QA engineer" whatever, just someone that isn't a programmer but can install things, click...
Testing only works if developers ask about it, showing some interest, otherwise it's a huge waste of time. I often tried to proactively share suggestions, but they have often been ignored.
The majority of developers prefer to solve "big problems" and make announcements about new features, not get bogged down in tedious details. This off course is lethal for an app that aims to be used by a lot of people.
The exception is when many users complain about the same thing, but this assumes that the app has some recognized value and it is widely used, that is rare.
In any case, there are many crowd testing platforms designed specifically with this goal in mind.
