 Clients on nostr should be very easy to make. If you are spending too much time (weeks), you are probably doing it wrong.  
 wen Vercel template? 
 With a little bit of time, I was able to spin up my own NoStrudel instance and tie it to my own relay for friends and family to use. Never felt better! 
 What sort of client? Kind 01? 
 All clients 
 @Kieran 🤣 
 personally, i find the more easy it is to deploy a GUI app to users the more likely it is to be overly complex

i don't have the patience for dealing with too many choices of a system that is pandering to everyone

i'm glad there is people like you out there to do this stuff but i prefer the back end because there is far less options that actually are practical

UI is a combinatorial nightmare of possibilities. i mean, there is more possibilities than there is numbers in 256 bits 
 IMHO … It’s all the settings screens & interactions around a post that can REALLY eat up the dev cycles. 
 Yep.. all the optional stuff is a massive time sink 
 Wait a second... Amethyst has been working on this for months 
 i also am a 🐐  
 yeah, i can make a CLI client in like, 20 minutes, so long as you like reading indented JSON
