 That's still a lot without a simple, up front and very straight forward explanation of what's gong to happen. I'd be seriously pissed if that just happened without knowing WTF is going on.

 You are not the average new user, but it will be explained that apps will be installed. They just don't need to know about nsecs, permissions and all that.

 I agree with @The Beave, it's way too much. My normie friends won't accept installing 3 apps they don't know anything about.

I think it's okay if the first client is a twitter clone with nsec access. Then people can start moving to more complex setups if they feel like to.

 Users don't tend to "accept/reject" installing new apps. Only techies understand that to be an option. Others just follow the flow. If the installer is asking them to do it, they will do it. If in order to use Facebook they have to install Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, they will do it. We will get to the same level of easiness in time.

 Not sure. My mother (boomer) for example during installation added a bunch of apps, but then asked me "wtf are these, pls uninstall". So in the end the result was not achieved.

 Way over the top imo. But I’m happy to be wrong.

 No, I'm not. I didn't even really know what nostr was before I installed amethyst last year. I just dove in. I'm not typical... 😅 

None of this would fly with any of my family if I wasn't sitting there babysitting them.
