If apps allow me to 'log in' with whatever Npub to check out that perspective; why can't i just do effectively the same thing while being logged in with my own nsec?
With a tiny bit of UI effort, it makes onboarding so much better because people can start out using their friends perspective; odds are they have similar friend and interests and they have direct access to that stuff.
Also, is there are 'you might also know/be interested in' DVM, that provides a list of suggested Npubs based on your current follow list, or perhaps better, selected lists?
Lastly, the current follow list is conflated; following and trusting an npub are not the same thing.
Now all this list flexibility does make things a bit more complicated (what happens when you press 'follow' for example, it would imply some dropdown menu asking you for what list this follow would apply), so how about a toggle between default 'simpleton' mode for how things work now, and a 'Nostr' mode that opens the door to do all these quintessential Nostr things?
Ideas are cheap, so here you go
