GM! I've been giving Nostria a solid try, and I'm genuinely impressed with the speed and the focus on simplicity. It feels like a strong step toward onboarding new users.
Here's my honest feedback, organized by what works and what could be improved for new users:
What I Love (Strengths for Onboarding)
Sleek UI/UX: The interface is clean, modern, and doesn't feel overwhelming like some other clients. Specifically, the [mention a positive design element, e.g., 'bottom navigation bar' or 'default theme'] makes it feel familiar and easy to navigate.
Smooth Key Management: The process of setting up or importing keys was [e.g., 'very intuitive' or 'fast and easy']. This is a huge win for reducing the initial setup friction.
Discovery: The [mention a specific discovery feature, e.g., 'recommended relays' or 'trending topics'] is great for immediately giving new users something to read or interact with.
Areas for Improvement (Focus on the New User)
Glossary/Tooltips: For true onboarding, new users need to understand terms like "Relay," "NIP-05," and "Zap." I recommend [e.g., 'adding context-sensitive tooltips that define key Nostr terms'] on first exposure.
Initial Relay Management: While discovery is good, I think the app could default to [e.g., 'fewer, more reliable relays initially'] to ensure a faster first load time, which is critical for new users' first impressions.
Post-Setup Guided Tour: After setup, a simple, non-intrusive 3-step tour showing "How to Post," "How to Zap," and "How to Follow" would drastically lower the barrier to entry.
Features I'd Love to See Next
Simple Pinned Post Creation: An easy way for new users to create a 'Profile Introduction' post that is automatically pinned to their profile, helping them introduce themselves to the community.
Built-in Sats Wallet Feature: Full wallet integration (even if basic) directly within the app, allowing users to e.g., 'instantly withdraw earned zaps to their lightning wallet without leaving the client.
Keep up the great work! This client has serious potential. 🚀
