 Nostr clients need to stop the default follow dark pattern. 
 There is value in solving made-up problems, in order to have a use case for implementing a concep... 
 I meant product is for user problems, we are saying the same thing 
 For the record, I don't think it's a problem if someone's prototype is buggy. That's inherent to ... 
 A true product must solve real problems not made up and exaggerated problems 
 Yes, everyone is still frantically racing to be first, rather than considering that there's a new... 
 Everybody is just releasing what already exist and is already done outside nostr and backed with unlimited resources and expecting to compete, nostr devs need to focus on building more novel things that change the way we do things and can only be built on nostr, if this is done there will be more tolerance for this subpar experience.

Funny how they can't see the primal casestudy as much bad rap as primal got for caching data earlier, it has proven that anybody with more resouces aligned around improving ux will take all the users from other clients since they all have the same content, being an open protocol one day it could be those big orgs we despise. 
 i like your visionary approach to this ambiguity, nostr needs creative partners like you 
 I did not see this till I read your comment 
 Too noisy the content is losing its value, there is the dupermine effect of likes, added with this, it compounds, so in a twitter client where normies are supposed to spend a lot of time browsing through it, the net experience will be harmful 
 Yes but not everybody is on social media to look for signal, besides this is overjustification, chatapps are in the moment and do not create a scenerio where users have to compete because they don't keep track of all the reaction data, look at the recent ethical dissonance with wavelake 
 Getting 2017 vibes

 Creating branded icons and illustrations for my designs in figma, finally reached a level I am proud of #design #nostrdesign.

 Recreated the linear landing oag with all its glory in figma, so many font sizes though.

 I love the abstraction, for the sign in you place the email about the password and scrap the recovery and still call it email, matches the mental model of users, they will sign in like any maintream app 
 Lets test 
 Testing resolvr test
 
 We use this at resolvr, I played around with this lately and updated he components on figma, also added somethings that may be useful for nostr apps, you can check it out here https://www.figma.com/file/s7ptczLwMLKpT9aOqczjYd/Shadcn-for-nostr?type=design&node-id=4%3A6598&mode=design&t=IznX1Ae79wZt4C4Y-1 nostr:note1jqtkfnx29y6c8evatnk49je3jzvfqwgxqpfwqacdfjfkxjuzsywsz50avy 
 Okay I am blown away, now I have to relearn the tool😂 
 Nos.social is so special, I like how it works like a twitter clone but it does not feel like a twitter clone. 
 Nostr goes against traditional networks. Im sitting here thinking that nostr might never be mains... 
 I just think nostr needs a greater number of visionaries and designers not lone devs building in isolation without any feedback loops, this I see as a bitcoin culture that nostr inherited added with the certain levels of complexities encouraged by the bitcoin ecosystem that is finding its way into nostr.

 I remember having this conversation with the creator of Nosta, sadly he is spread too thin to focus on the tool. 
 Yeah I was fascinated by this, but what is nostr.com supposed to do, are this not its use case?

 Is tooltips not possible in nostr, it’s inaccessible in mobile, maybe there needs to be protocol level state machines 
 This picture is Nostr as it is now in a rap, 90% male builders, ostrich pictures, Over branded products, bitcoin banter, security vault experts. 

But I am loving it https://image.nostr.build/37e2b8d0e5a39ebdc9293642de558b1fb8c1f129929fa2548a797a3f8d720d42.jpg  
 What did I miss? 
 In your opinion, what should nostr.com be about? What content? 
 Demos sorted by use cases, get the users to the aha moment 
 Also we could have some form of social proof showing the number of users nostr has 
 You can have a visible FAQ section under where the first question is “ where am I? ” 
 Putting it out here because I love this talk

 Why do you all use Custodial wallets, is key ux really a problem? 
What’s the answer for nostr then? 
 The lightning gateway limit?

Just watched a presentation that showed that most bitcoiners prefer custodial wallet, checkout my profile I shared it 
 Bitcoiner is a user of bitcoin, you are right on freedom seeker

 This should work 
 Is it a crime to choose to build a nostr enabled tool instead of a nostr client, so that a user has complete control over what the tool broadcasts on nostr? 
 Happy to find you here, after your nostril vs blue sky interview 
 From a design point of view, a solution must be 10x its predecessor, or existing users won't migrate. Nostr is 10x for privacy lovers and those with something to lose; for others who care about comfort and ease of use, the duper mine effect of algorithmic social media, or the size of the audience, Nostr cannot appeal to them just yet. 
 I will like to read this

 Sorry about the misinformation, we will be working on fixing the discovery experience, thank you for checking us out 
 We have fixed the experience 
 While I am new here, I have come across nostr clients that are accessible even by email like stacker news and bolt.fun. I also feel it will do nostr a great deal of good because it gives a mental picture that nostr is not something so much more complex than traditional methods.

The email requirements is on the blogging site, and it is a permanent default on the part of ghost(the platform powering the site). This is a temporary arrangement while we continue working on the actual resolvr.

There are no sign ups now, and we are only collecting contacts to invite to alpha test Resolvr. 
 Understood and noted! Thank you for engaging with us
