I believe I have an idea on how to make onboarding much easier.
Needs lots of work, but basically it’s about making NIP-05 actual emails.

What’s NIP - 05
This thing that identifies your account and looks like an email but isn’t.
This is a NIP-05:

Cool. 😎 I’ve had so many different names etc … 🫂💜
@Derek Ross offers nip05 that are emails i believe with nostrplebs
Yep yep! is the first and oldest OG Nostr service.
Nostr Plebs | Get a Nostr Address (NIP-05)
Nostr Plebs is an easy way of getting a NIP-05 identifier/Nostr Address and other Nostr services, made by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners.
Explain how your email offer works?
Email goes to your DMs via your Nostr address. So email sent to derekross@nostrplebs.com come to my DMs.
What about attatchments or files?
Notice: you must explicitly enable this
They're not supported 😩 That would be a nice enhancement though. What if attachments were uploaded to a blossom server 😮 But then you wouldn't own them... Hrm. A lot to think about.
Yes. Thanks for mentioning that. Love you Semi.
A Nostr "email" client would be awesome.
Magic 🪄
Really because I hate email and would love to never log in with an email account again.
Yes. But the UX I’m thinking about is completely reversed.
On nostrplebs you are first an npub, then you go and sign up for a NIP-05.
What if you sign up for an email service and full fledged mailbox, that also just so happened to be nostr compatible.
Heard. Hugs 🫂
