 which client in nostr has the best onboarding experience?

in traditional centralized social networks there is a tremendous amount of effort given to helping users onboard well (get connected, setup profile, learn how it works, etc.) and have a great first time user experience. there are often dedicated teams working on constantly measuring and improving “FTUX”

the reason for all this effort is that it has a huge impact on user retention

nostr doesn’t do this and consequently has very weak retention 
 @primal  because of the integrated wallet. My new go-to for newbies and normies. By far the easiest to navigate when you need to set them up from zero with both nostr and lightning. 
 the best we can do is say 'welcome to nostr' jk  
 Not a client (yet?) but nostr.how was perfect for me to get a decent understanding. Think i tested Coracle, Snort and Amethyst immediately after. 
 +1 for Primal. Also Amethyst for features.  
 Primal is the most mainstream in my experience 
 I would recommend Primal 
 There is quite a learning curve. Those who wanna learn, can learn. Average John &Jade are too *something* for that.
