I remember seeing Flare land on HN and seeing the responses. 

My general observation of most nostr enabled services is that the UX SUCKS. 

“Paste your nsec here or use an extension”, 9/10 that’s all you get. No explanation, sometimes not even a homepage to give context.

Why on earth should you expect a “normie” (hate that term) or even a knowledgeable user to use your service?

The implicit message you’re giving is “admittance by secret handshake only”.

The sheer arrogance of some of the people responding here is making my blood boil. 

Nostr is a FREEDOM protocol, Bitcoin is a FREEDOM currency. If you don’t help people get in at the base understanding than how it can it GIVE FREEDOM.

Dunking on “normies” tells me you don’t GET nostr, you don’t GET Bitcoin. You treat like an exclusive club to make yourself feel superior.
