I tried to do this and ended up forking and building clients after my bug reports and feature suggestions were largely ignored. In addition to needing users willing to test things, you also need developers that know how to listen and respond to feedback.

It’s a slippery slope, testing apps.
I think Nostr would be probably 200% better if we had someone to test apps reliably.

I'm not talking about a "QA engineer" whatever, just someone that isn't a programmer but can install things, click buttons and report bugs.

I have the impression that this is a role that died in the industry of software development, but it is much needed now, and much more in the age of AI code.
