Writing a book about Nostr

Ceterum censeo NIP-3b omnibus esse utendum

Supporters of open source protocols argue that instead of handing power to state regulators or Silicon Valley, protocols like Nostr strip away corporate data tracking and predatory algorithms entirely. On a decentralized architecture, families can subscribe to customized, moderated relays or use cryptographic keys to co-manage accounts without relying on third party digital identity. Nostr projects like Kubo and active applications like Ditto prove that transparent, non-predatory social spaces are already viable.

Relays and keys are not ux issues, they ARE the ux.

you cant fade keys and relays into the background;

If a user want to be able to actually use its identity in another app, it needs to be aware of the fact it is managing a secret that the user itself is responsible for;
And relays are basically websites, its just that your ‘‘browser’’ (i.e. nostr client) decides what and how to show you the things that are on that website; users will have to get an intuition for relays.

The issue is, that devs themselves have to get an intuition for relays first.
Relays and keys are not ux issues, they ARE the ux.

I’d share my nostr version of this clip but i think its dead because https://satellite.earth/ is down.
