As someone who onboarded and has told other close friends where to find me, this has been the hold up.
Nostr isn’t clear to people.
Not clear how to say it.
Not clear what it is.
Not clear where to onboard.
Not clear who they’re joining there.
Not clear how to convey all of that to others that they’d invite.
Needs clarity and ease.
It’s like saying to my friend, “It’s so great! I can be in charge of my own chats and online message address and host my own conversations and files! Come over to SMTP and we can talk whenever we want, and there a a bunch of other people over here that talk about Linux all the time that have great personalities! You’ll love them. Just find an app to set your own SMTP up and we can talk and send each other stuff.”
This isn’t how it worked. It worked when AOL sent every address in America and install disk that gave them connectivity and put a “You’ve got mail” Alert in their face without any configs or servers or homework to understand the SMTP inter-workings.
A client has a better chance of being a clean Nostrless on-ramp. Primal, Damus, Nos Social. But those brands still need better onboarding flows, community connections, search effectiveness.
My own latest request would be, as people get a handle on the protocol, is for super simple social self-sovereignty relay management, hosting and backup to be facilitated by my client or relay software.
