 logo is bland, ux is uninviting to the common individual. need something to send to my friends that isn’t cringe 
 There used to be categories on mobile. I agree, logo is meh 😑 
 I remember! You did a fine job considering you have so much on your plate for nostr. 
 I think it looks clean 
 What exactly is uninviting? 
 All black and white and not a fan of the font choice and format on my phone, which is where people will use it the most probably. I still tell people to go to nostr.how due to its inviting ux. I love nostr.apps as a concept just needs some tweaks to the format of the listing of apps and color/font scheme 
 simple changes, also as i stated before, logo is bland. minimalist ux and design is so silicone valley bro core. 
 outdated and cringe. 
 but again, karnage does a lot for nostr and is one of the only remaining designers on here. he did a great job for having so much to do for us. 
 I’m curious what design style you consider not so silicone valley bro core? 
 I’m going to have to put hand up and say I really appreciate the clarity of this design, especially on mobile (where, yes, I use it most)

At its heart, it’s a curated collection of very disparate icons and brand identities - all of which it allows me to see, navigate and engage with beautifully

I also find the actual sorting and navigation UX unusually clear and understandable 

For me, anything more busy or colourful for the core structure, in fact anything asserting a busier separate identity of its own, would be difficult and distracting… 
 Hey Roya, could you post a picture of something that you think  would be a better style, like an existing logo as an example of a good design? 
 most of the apps will be cringe too 
 What apps are not cringe? 
 bash
Sway
 
 What are these things?
