When I try to get people on Nostr, the vast majority of them find the UX experience trash, on nearly all clients. Nostur.com is one of the few people aren’t immediately disgusted by. But most people without a Mac quit. User retention on Nostr is extremely low because nearly all the clients are confusing for both normal people and even the technically inclined, and the common search results for “Nostr client” refer people to dozens of clients, most of which are barely functional and have a terrible user experience, others which are actually broken on some platforms with no warnings to users that their OS won’t function. I’ve seen multiple people try multiple Nostr clients and talk about their experience, and quit. This is the vast majority of people I refer to Nostr. The clients are hot garbage.

All you’ve given me is it’s confusing and terrible, without any other details.

Try to recall specific problem areas if you can. Constructive feedback is welcome! 🙏

I can't confirm that at all! There are certainly confusing clients (I still don't understand Yakihonne, I can hardly even remember the name!). But Primal, for example, is almost identical to the classic Twitter client. Everyone should be able to get along with that!?!?
