by far the worst part of the Nostr experience is trying to find known contacts.
NOSTR fans are doing themselves a massive disservice telling the public "oh it works for me, just try a different client I guess"
we either need a much better solution for identifiers on a protocol level (NIP-05 or whatever is not doing it) or we need an encouraged standard across clients, that, upon download or setup, LINKS twitter/other social media data to your Nostr NPUB and links you up through that. Get community to vote + verify profile connections to add social credibility
I'm not a dev so I don't know the solution/tradeoff but to this day I cannot find the people I want without an NPUB, and that is just not a usable format
