“Usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not about technology” -Steve Krug (Author of Don’t Make Me Think)
At the conclusion of my first day on NOSTR I am left feeling that there’s still a massive usability and UX issue. I briefly talked about this with The: Daniel⚡️ (npub1aeh…4nwx) today.
People do not like to think. But, in addition to that, we have an entire generation still alive today that has yet to master taking a selfie on their flip phone.
Mass adoption is only going to happen when usability issues are solved. And in order for that to happen…there has to be bridge builders.
And maybe mass adoption isn’t the goal. That’s fine, too. In which case carry on as it is. But if mass adoption is the underlying goal then this usability issue has to be resolved.
I am a nerd and I love nerds but we simply cannot have nerds trying to teach the masses…it rarely works. We need people who can read what the nerds say and break that down ELI5 style and get it to the masses.
Who are those people? Who are the bridge builders? Can you tag ‘em?
