Some feedback for on-boarding new Nostr users: in the "Get started" docs (linked below), the section titled "Understanding Keys" does an adequate job of describing what the pub/priv keys *are*, but I think it would be helpful to spell out how/where keys are *generated and stored*. I am familiar with generating SSH keys using `ssh-keygen`, but no such command is listed in this section. Perhaps adding "To generate a pub/priv key pair, many clients (such as snort.social) will generate the keys for you and allow you to retrieve the public and private keys once you have established your profile." might give a more coherent set of steps for generating and retrieving key pairs.
