Is there a client that enables a new user to choose or enter a relay before keys are generated? I still think that is a winning formula. The dumbest of smart clients & the single relay, as the beginning of the path to everything else.

2 years ago, I was thinking that idea was such low hanging fruit that there was no way I'd be able to learn enough to try to make it happen before someone with some knowledge did it. I'm starting to doubt that now. 😅
We just hard-coded theforest in, as the core relay. That's why it's a community app: everyone who hosts it gets to select the core relay.
Isn't Jumble like that?
Well, I asked that right before I took a nap, so... yes, pretty much. I actually haven't tried fresh keys on Jumble yet. I will do that. It hadn't even occurred to me what Jumble could enable for say... a farmer's market or a semi-pro arm wrestling association or a concert venue.
I see... are they prompted to do so on install?
Shosho creates a key for you when you open it for the first time. The goal is that you can use it without knowing what Nostr is.
I was a little confused by that at first, only because its so quick. I was able to find where I sign in & whatnot really easily. Do you think you might link out on the profile page to somewhere that you can edit your account eventually? That might be a neat introductory flow to Nostr overall. "Copy private key & visit *some acc manager* to manage your profile"
