We've been saying Nostr needs better onboarding and discovery for years. Agreed. But let's talk specifics.
Apps need three things to work as social platforms:
Sign-in. Search. Tag.
If you can't nail these three fundamentals, nothing else matters. Users bounce before they ever see what makes Nostr special. It's standard for mainstream adoption.
Once those are locked down, the next battle is battery and bandwidth. Using Nostr shouldn't drain my phone dead or eat through my data plan. This is not a nice to have feature. It's time.
Let's build. 💜🫂🤙🏻
