Here's a quick rundown of the onboarding process in the new NoorNote 0.4.0 desktop app:
1. New users start off on the welcome screen.
2. A key pair gets generated automatically. But you can regenerate them as many times as you want.
3. You're prompted to download a backup. But you can also optionally save it somewhere, like in a password manager.
4. It only moves on once you confirm the backup.
5. Now you can import this key pair into the local key signer.
6. You set your password for the trust session...
7. ...then it continues after a success message.
8. In the next screen, a few random usernames get generated. But of course, you can set your own.
9. Then you can pick a profile picture or upload one yourself.
10. And create a bio.
11. Then the new user gets three random suggestions from the 15 largest relays. You can reroll them and even enter your own. But here's the thing: Even if the user picks some dumb relays, like really obscure ones, it barely affects how NoorNote works. Like when displaying users and notes that aren't on your own relays. That's thanks to the outbound relays principle.
12. NIP-17 DMs need your own inbox relays. Hardly any newbie knows that. No big deal, it suggests four suitable ones, and the user should pick two. Over time, I could add more options there too.
13. So the new user's timeline doesn't end up empty, it now suggests some thematically curated follow packs.
14. Once the user makes their selection, it moves on.
15. Now all that's left is a Lightning wallet for zapping and getting zapped. The most common newbie mistake with new accounts is avoiding setting it up. That's understandable, who even helps with that at the start?
16. After you sign up at Rizful and click "Open Rizful," you get a one-time code that you copy...
17. ...and paste into the wizard. When you hit "Connect" after that, it fetches the NWC string and enters it into NoorNote.
18. Finally, there's a little summary, and with "Save & Go to timeline," everything gets published to the relays, NoorNote loads the timeline as usual, and the user can jump right in.
In the web browser, the order in the wizard is a little different. It recommends installing Alby first, simply because it's the only browser extension that stores sensitive data encrypted right in the browser. That cuts down the attack surface from other malicious browser extensions, for example. And the Alby setup starts off with connecting a Lightning wallet anyway. That's why the Rizful step gets moved up, right after guiding the new user through the Alby installation. After that, the wizard steps are just like in the desktop version.
