 we need open, user-switchable, transparent algorithms

new people come on and can’t find the good stuff. this needs to be easy for a casual user who is curious to try it out

@Vitor Pamplona and @miljan are already building toward this future, but we can do so much more.

simpler onboarding, easier to discover the good stuff, no engagement-bait shenanigans. the future is bright (but not evenly distributed) nostr:note1ec5x0tzn90n6t9kf2ge9m6ehuty0npv7sn9z58ujgk6dame7psjsx6562l 
 Have you seen https://brainstorm.ninja/ ? It lets you login and see nostr content via various DVM based custom feed algorithms. 

https://nostrudel.ninja also lets you choose multiple DVM based algorithms. 

And yes we need these to be faster, more discoverable, and supported in many apps.  
 The new nostrich experience I think could improve, a lot. 
 what would you change? 
 In no particular order, a few:
- Key setup more like a bitcoin wallet with a mnemonic phrase and a backup step, and a recovery process if that key were lost.
- Non-complicated and simple relay configuration, paired with an in-app marketplace for relays and other services that add clear value: long-term storage of notes, lightning/ecash wallet services, media and etc.
- Invitation system to bootstrap various suggested WoT for suggesting notes and profiles to follow. This could be topical relays!?
- An illustrated in-app explanation of why Nostr is awesome. 
 all good improvement ideas. thanks for sharing!
