my mom asked me how she can join nostr and because I dont want here to explain 1000steps I thought it might be easier to make a user-friendly browser extension.
after checking out nos2x I was very confused how to set up my keys and also the layout (and the window prompt to sign stuff) was not the best experience... hmm
a quick look at the code and I started right away (I never coded a browser extension before...)
What I changed was:
- setting keys on the extension icon pop up
- centering the prompt window + some styles for the buttons
I want to know what some other people are thinking about:
setting up under the save keys button a Generate New account button, the idea behind this was to just create an account with some metadata + keys (that get saved straight into the extension)
so there would be less "Friction" about manually copying and pasting it.
currently this is not working yet but what do you think is a good idea or not ??

I like what you're trying to do, being able to input the key in the little icon pop up makes sense.
You could make it so that it automatically saves the key when you generate a new profile and there isn't one already saved, skipping a step.
Anything we can do to make things easier for non-technical people is a good thing.
I like where you're going!
A browser extension as a propper onboarding tool ๐ All for it.
Mom onboarding is the best UX test haha.
