Maybe instead of prompting the user to assign a name you let the person who invites to pre-fill their name for them. So if I'm inviting Bob to Nostr I just give him a link that already sets his name to Bob. Once Bob is using Nostr they can change their name as they please.

All my friends would be called Dick in this case. So I agree wholeheartedly

We should also be able to pick a client so they get a link that prompts them to install a client as well as the rest above. If I could send an invite link by message that would get many invites out there.

Perhaps they don't want to be doxxed from the get go. We all know there's a good chance that what's in the nostr might never be erased. But Iris.to has a good solution. It assigns a random name (adjective+noun) to each nsec when they onboard. You can change the display name but the funny one remains.

all it is copying another person’s kind 3 or 10002!

I suppose so, it's barely nippable come to think of it

when?

Just saw this! Maybe @doot was also at #nostrville or is @The Daniel 🖖 alt 🤔 My experience using onboardstr: -follow list copy worked great -onboarstr added ~10 additional relays relative to what I have currently. I am guessing there are old relay lists somewhere - logged into damus with the newly created nsec without trouble My view: -best website icon -nsec generation on a website sets up for rugpull, as does the need to share said key -i love the simple flow Improvements for onboardstr: -how might client options be tied at end: e.g. click here for iOS Damus, Android Amethyst, Web Coracle, Nostrudel etc.. -nsec is displayed past screen - consider wrapping -add copy button adjacent to nsec, and string copied confirmation Potential Improvements in #Damus: When damus adds a share/invite functionality, there can be a ‘referral’ appended to the link with the inviting party’s npub. If the invite receiver accepts, they automagically have the option to add friends follow and relay lists.

- Incorporating the lnurl setup into the onboarding would help too. But that's maybe a rather seperate step in the client itself. - I can see that all these onboarding touch points can get very competitive. Gonna be the race to become the client/relay/wallet of choice there

I have a lot of ideas around this, just need to spend a little time and come up with a flow that works. I love the idea of creating a tailored account experience for a friend with all the basics they need to get up and running, though some of the things I enjoyed the most was trying to figure out the steps, and I hope by making it too easy it doesn’t take away some of the magic of what this is.
