I think the current njump could be improved and here is my proposal.

Problems with njump as I see them:
- Too technical for most people. Keys, relays.. what?! If you are coming from Twitter to nJump, it looks confusing as heck. The first time I visited nj myself, it took me time to figure out what I was looking at.
- Too branded. If nj is a bridge to nostril clients, it should be as generic as possible.
- Too many visible options. We can keep optionality but reduce choice fatigue just by tucking links into a dropdown (opens on hover to reduce clicking)

The solution as I see it:

- Minimize what we display, hide all of the technical details under Details (even the keys)
- Remove branding. Of course, even no branding is still branding, but I think we can make it more generic.
- Show a hover dropdown for available apps - make that the primary button because most people probably won’t have a nostr client at that point. And once they do , we just have a button for them.
- Don’t refer to them as clients. This must be confusing to new people. Just call them apps. They are apps.
- Simplified time format
- We can probably do more with localization
