Oddbean new post about login | logout Do we really need screenshots for very open, easy to fetch public data? nostr:note19zp6lhg0g2zrycsepgv0k8cnfe0zqewqcpc2lvzrpu2a8an33n0qg5968k
A few Normie friends have commented that and njump.me hyperlinks look like malware. It could be that screenshots are a more consumer tech, friendly approach to sharing nostr content outside of nostr. @fiatjaf @dtonon
It would be better if there was an embeddable note, similar to how you could embed tweets. That way, others can begin deep linking to notes from clearnet websites and folks can use a njump or nostr.band to go further into nostr.
Yes It’s too technical for many but it’s a start https://nuxstr.nostrver.se/fiatjaf-web-components/ https://unpkg.com/nostr-web-components@0.0.6/demo.html
Njump offers embeddable widgets, for an example see the homepage: https://njump.me
I agree that Njump URLs doen't have a great usability, but are necessary. Screenshots have many limitations, starting with the fact that it has no interactivity to bring the user back to Nostr. Btw a lot of services have really long and weird URLs, see Amazon.
Some people may want to use them in articles and blogs.
I often come across great notes on Bitcoin and other topics that I’m passionate about and want to share beyond the Nostr platform. However, taking screenshots of the client UI gets tiring, and they don’t always look as polished as I’d like. I created SnapNostr to give these notes a clean, professional appearance that makes sharing them more appealing.
Its called a hyperlink. The mistake is wanting to share a screenshot in the first place. Did you not know Nostr is principally a jihad against screenshots. The Lord send fiatjaf to this earth to deal with the screenshot scourge once and for all.
I really don't know that Nostr is principally against screenshots. I just thought it looks cool. Initially created for my personal use, but peeps in my network asked if they can get one like that. So I re-built it to share it to everyone!
Screenshots themselves are terrible, but a result of failure of a better alternative. But it is such a horrible phenomena; everytime some shares a screenshot of a thing without/instead of providing a link, i want to punch them in the face for forcing me to type over elements and put them into google to find out if its even real. The enthusiasm for this application is depressing. https://image.nostr.build/d6ffd198b901b241b06cd7d799ba006043ca5fc28b23e998f85a352824237e1c.jpg
unfortunately, using URL shorteners is also common malware behavior (as it hides the link target), though i'm no normie enough to know if it looks more or less malware-y as a long bech32 link 🙂
@fiatjaf @dtonon is Njump.me/Fiatjafs-Note-On-Nostr-NoteIDscarylink123 Friendlier than Njump.me/noteIDscarylink123
or. http://njump.me/Fiatjafs-Note-On-Nostr?trackingcookie=<NoteIDscarylink123> im sure it's less scary if it looks like just a normal adware tracker link instead of maalware 🙂
I don't think cluttering the URL with unnecessary stuff is friendlier. For example, I always hated blogposts like domain.com/2024-11-08/This-is-a-blog-post-title-with-a-trimmed when they could have been just short ids. I won't believe if you tell me I am out of touch with the normie reality, because I don't think we have any proof that /nevent1... links are less friendlier, I think this is all a question of status quo bias and getting used to.
Well, speaking URLs are generally useful because more informative, you can know what you are going to open, and so make an evalutation on that. But in the proposed form, just the author while keeping the (necessary) nevent code, are useless imo.
