 I still think there is space for an amazing onboarding-only client. All it does is to help new users create and backup a new key, find your friends and set your profile up before helping them choose other clients to see/write content.  
 I think Primal is probably the closest to doing that right now.  
 Too centralized on themselves though. I think an independent client is key.  
 Il me semble et l'ai testé sur mon autre téléphone avec mon autre compte associé enfin à 2 clés . Me reste l'extension  indispensable et complexe d'Alby pour zaper 😓 
 I have pne in my short-term plans using the flow I demoed last week 
 Isn’t that kind of what http://nosta.me/ does? 
 Yep, but take it to the extreme. Nosta's user creation is just a big wizard with 1-2 sentences each. They just do "Insert your LN Address here" instead of explaing what that is and how it will be used.  
 Gotcha! 🤝 
 The zap onboarding is a hard one. You always have to send them to another app/service or go the Primal route. eCash can really be a game changer here, since an npub is enough to start receiving funds.  
 As much as I love zapping, I feel like it’s not a hard requirement for any kind of board on-boarding. It’s almost like a side quest that can be dealt with later 
 Maybe quests is the way to onboard people. One quest at a time. 
 Gamification would be fun, throw in some badges along the way too. thndr games is already automating badges in this way

 @Karnage has been playing around with that idea for Snort 
 “Codex” is designed to let people discover various concepts on their own terms 
 I think that's an awesome idea!

A really hand-holding app that is 95% educational.🙏🤔🧐😄💜😆💯👍 
 And that type of hand-holding first needs a very specific kind of developer.  
 Puis pensez à l'ajout des extensions nécessaires pour chaque type d'appareil mobile ou pas pour gérer un portefeuille permettant de contribuer au  zaps . Merci  
 I’m your man! Wd love to tackle this!! 

I have the time, experience, and ample motivation for a “small” project such as this. But I’d need a few sats to afford diving right in. How would I get funded?

 Show proof-of-work (early mornings, weekends), then apply to OpenSats. 
 Proof of work? Like my day jobs or the random hacking I’ve done on coracle, snort, relay-tools, and other bits I’ve hacked on to get oriented to nostr and try to get mvp for vote.gold. The former is not related, while the latter is not impressive, yet. (Really could use a funded side project though) 
 I just mean that your project should exist before you ask for funding for it 
 If I wireframed a novel user experience and a few user flows, and packaged this together documenting my years of experience as in the field and my demonstrated dedication to developing nostr… would that be enough to get funding (assuming they project is desired)? 
 I would break ground first and get an MVP together 
 Finally. After 4.5 months (and a small seed grant) I have (almost mvp) a working client to demonstrate “social onboarding” …

 ONSTR 
 what's the name of that one client that's really close here? something like nostra.me? 
 Nosta.me 
 It’s called Meet Me On Nostr,
for sharing Nostr with friends.

 Thanks, not sure I fully get it but very kewl ! 

Great day much peace to you. 
 Funny that I pasted a link from the browser and it ended up randomly tagging kevskewl…? 

The link was “supposed” to go to @Derek Ross ‘s personal QR code he can use to invite friends to Nostr. (Instant account creation, with Nip05, key encryption and storage, and “follow me” for new friends… with integrated DM chat and “WoT” network discovery coming soon) 

Check it out.

Yes… kevs. You get one too.

 Sorry folks. Looks like @Nostur  is having problems pasting links that contain @ symbol. 

Try from @damus

 Thanks, I checked it out. It looks promising, you have my support. Thanks again.
