Rabble (npub1wmr…g240) is spot on here. I suffered a lot yesterday when I introduced #Nostr to my undergrad students in the classroom, in a public university in Bangladesh. They were happy to get introduced to it and began using it instantly but they didn't like the browser extension part.

I must confess I was not a very capable teacher on the Nostr topic, and I have to chalk out a more clear-cut and simple onboarding instruction set, but what Rabble is focusing here requires serious attention of our wonderful devs.

Btw, my introducing of simplex (npub1exv…d828) to my students was smooth. They didn't have any trouble at all.

Thanks. 🫂

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.
