I've been wanting to make progress on a logo for Habla.news, so that there can be an icon for the nostr account ( @Habla News ) and the website.
Here are a few drafts of some different directions we could go with (See attached image).
1:
- Clean and not distracting (It's dark, but could do the same thing w/ a light theme)
- Maybe a little boring and doesn't give an idea of what the app does other than having to do w/ text
2:
- Clean and not distracting (It's light, but could do the same thing w/ a dark theme)
- It's supposed to show the "h" and the circles in such a way that you can kinda see the outline of an ostrich, but not sure if that really lands
3:
- This one is graphical and emphasizes that Habla is a place where conversation can happen
- Not sure if that should be the emphasis of the app branding vs writing
4:
- Graphical feather pen showing both that Habla is a writing platform and is related somehow to the imagery of a bird/ostrich
- It might be kinda generic though with lots of writing apps using a feather pen
*Please give feedback on these! Colors and details can definitely be further refined, but wanted to think about the shape first.

@YakiHonne,
Not sure if this is the best venue for support, but why is the publish button disabled?
Am I doing something wrong?


I know there are differences of opinion on this, but I'd like to make a case for allowing sign in w/ an nsec in nostr apps; Long form text apps used as a case study, @verbiricha , @Chris .
I agree that we should educate users and recommend safer ways of authenticating, but I think especially in the near term, allowing for nsec log-in will:
- Enable users who know about extensions but have chosen not to use them to still log in and use these apps
- Allow users who use multiple nostr accounts to switch between them without having to use multiple extensions or multiple extension accounts
- Accommodate mobile users who do not want to get set up with an extension-compatible mobile browser like Kiwi
* I think that better solutions will come in the future, but for now, it seems that many users have chosen for themselves to tolerate the risk for the sake of convenience.
** I wonder what % of the half a million or so users on Nostr are set up with key management through an extension. Even if it's not ideal, I think it's still good to support these users' ability to interact with the full extent of the nostr ecosystem.
Thoughts and comments welcome.

Small UX proposal for Habla.news, @verbiricha
Limit the number of tags shown on the card view of an article to 3.
This would:
- Keep the height of each card neater and more standardized, especially on mobile
- Focus the user's attention on a reasonable number of tags to look through at one time
- Incentivize authors to carefully choose their top 3 tags
*An ellipsis "..." could be used at the end of the 3 to show that there are more, and all tags could still be visible when clicking into the article.
**Thoughts and comments welcome.

I've been thinking through the design of sign-in modals for Nostr clients.
Two challenges/opportunities stand out to me:
1. I'm not sure if extension-based auth should be automatic. I wonder how often a person might want to browse unauthenticated or log in with an acct not associated with their extension.
2. Compared to the legacy flow, I think there's a greater need to provide clear help during sign-in. The auth piece is one of the main differences between what users are used to and the Nostr flow, so it seems appropriate to offer a clearly labeled lifeline.
