I know that Njump has some technical points, but they are largely intentional; in fact, if one of the goals is to let the user jump to a complete Nostr experience, there are other goals as well, such as educating (perhaps even subliminally) about a new paradigm. This includes showing, even if only in passing, some "strange" but necessary concepts such as public key, relays, and having multiple apps to choose from. I am 100% in favor of a fluid UX, but I don't think babysitting users too much is the way to go; we need to leverage some awareness to promote a more informed use of technology. How is a continuous work in progress, with the necessary trial and error. On the UX side: granted that hiding the main call to action below a dropdown, requiring 2 clicks (hover brings accessibility problems) where there is plenty of space doesn't seem the inevitable choice, we are talking just about the desktop view here, forgetting than about ~80% users use a smartphone :) And there the dropdown is present, for obvious reasons. However thank you (and Niel) for the suggestions, I will take them into consideration; there are definitely some elements that can be improved, such as labeling, the date visualization, adding contestual helps, and the localization, of course.

Agree with @HoloKat and @Niel Liesmons on the overall UX and sure you’ll take these into consideration. Appreciate the work you’re all doing here 🫡. The link previews need some work as well imo - just seen this with emojis and video previews not being displayed: image
Njump target is *not* specifically people who do not know about Nostr. The main goal is to create a link between the web and Nostr, with several outcomes (e.g. be client neutral, permit a fast sharing without JS and relay glitches, improve indexing of content on current search engines, etc.). Of course, this means it will be used potentially by people that don't know anything about Nostr, and I agree that some elements can be initially confusing. Here are my thoughts about the "gibberish": nevent1qqsqqqqq2y9zslqg9rzs0q52u3mrfetwf52tnnpur0zrrg99h4vp7uspzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcpzpmhxue69uhk2tnwdaejumr0dshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7e5huzf Finally, we are cooking up an update that will precisely address the newcomers, specifically the "what is nostr". Thanks for sharing!
