We need a native, cross-platform micro-app that offers account creation (nsec generation), teaches best practices on key security, allows profile (metadata) management, and perhaps permits historical backup of metadata and contact list.
Just that.
Does this already exist?
This is the revolution.
Just don’t make it right.
I think that would for onboarding before exploring more complex clients. It would make the concept a little easier to grasp.
*would be great for onboarding
(My mind goes faster than my hands sometimes😅)
It is exactly the use case I'm thinking about
sounds like notedeck
What’s note deck? Google searches yield little.
Multiplatform native client im working on
I suppose your app will do much more :)
It is basically just a contacts app. The other stuff you talk about would just be good UX
It's an onboarding app that express the concept "you own your identity". The contacts are only a side utility.
The problem is that people will just delete the onboarding app after they are onboarded and there is nothing to do.
It should at the very least be a note signing app (like Nostore) or something. Give people a reason to keep the app
It would not be a problem if it did his work in the first stage.
Pairing it with a signer is a nice option, in fact I thought that Amber by @greenart7c3 can be a nice fit, it would only need a proper UI/UX redesign.
Or embedding nesecbunker (idea by @hodlbod) using a reverse proxy like ngrok.
I am still hoping for a signer app that handles both NIP-7 and NIP-24 and nsecbunker. Let it just be a generic signer app that lets me sign both native mobile apps and browser apps
Onboarding app sounds like an insurance sign-up app. It’s not fun and nobody does it because they want to do it but they need to do it.
How about the same app but as a module within other apps? Composability is a powerful tool and the whole ecosystem would benefit if there are a few awesome modules that do the job extremely well.
This way the money is on the prize the real user experience and the sign-up is just a phase to get there effortlessly.
A standardized signups component could help apps that put low effort on this step, but I don't know how is possible without a webview.
However this could not be a rule, it would kill creativity and personalization on new solutions.
An onboarding app with a good educational support can work well for non tech users. And it implicitly and practically shows the concept of an open ecosystem. A lot of users are fashinated when they see they can move from app to app with the same account, having a continuous experience.
Yeah I was fascinated by this, but what is nostr.com supposed to do, are this not its use case?
I remember having this conversation with the creator of Nosta, sadly he is spread too thin to focus on the tool.
