 What if we redesigned nostr.com primarily for non devs? 

People would arrive on that page to understand in the simplest terms what nostr is and get to the CTA which will be Get started or something like that

Then we can guide them through the account creation (keys), basically do the onboarding once and on nostr - don’t delegate that to all the clients to figure themselves 

The next question will be about lightning wallet and how it works which is a different issue in terms of understanding, but it’s not required to get into nostr and can be done later also

Then we can share a list of clients that work with the platforms the person is using and tell them how to sign up there, maybe a few tips or notes 

So in summary that experience can save a lot of dev time, be the single source of truth and a place to get started with nostr and then get directed somewhere with lots of clients and apps built with nostr, in a visual way, almost like an app store with similar screenshot images for people to get how it looks etc before they try it 

This is something a solo designer can conceptualize even, myself included.
