Don't you ever question the need to login, to publish events? And why are logins almost always with write-permissions? Why don't we regularly use the apps with only npub logins or not logged in?


The goal should be apps that are interesting and fun to use, and interactive and social, all day, every day... without logging in. Apps based around follow lists are designed to _force you to login_. This is a legacy method to collect your usage data and control access, to get around things like VPNs (which are increasingly blocked).

Wanna read an interesting, relevant-to-you feed?
Don't log in.

Wanna zap someone, comment, highlight, or react to their note?
Don't log in.

Wanna checkout entire books or magazines, share documents or videos, and even download them to your local device, to read later?
Don't log in.

Just don't log in, and do it, anyway.

Here's how you onboard people to Nostr:
Give them a hyperlink to click or an app to download. They open it. They use it. They enjoy it. But they do not login.
