Following the post of @franzap, I’ve been working (in my free time) on a UX proposal for @Start9 — because sovereign tech deserves to be beautiful and simple. Here’s a quick 3-screen redesign preview. Why redesign Start9? The tech is world-class: Bitcoin node, Nostr relay, self-hosted apps… all in one box. But the current UI? Built for devs. Goal: Let your mom run a server in <15 min. No CLI. No confusion. Just sovereignty. ⚡️Screen 1: Marketplace • Featured carousel with real apps (Mempool, Bitcoin Knots, Nostr RS) • Search + filters (Bitcoin / Social / Lightning) • “Apps We Love” → social proof • One-click install previews Normies don’t read docs. They swipe. ⚡️Screen 2: Home • Big, bold app icons (like iOS) • Live widgets: Bitcoin price, sync %, server health • Quick actions: “Open in Browser”, “Monitor”, “Support” • Empty slots = “Add new service” Familiar = fast adoption. ⚡️Screen 3: Health & Alerts (proactive, not reactive) • “No Connection” → clear explanation + fix button • Disk, CPU, Temp in plain language • All systems green? Celebrate it. Errors should teach, not scare. This is just a proposal. @Start9 — happy to share Figma files, user flows, or iterate together. Let’s make personal servers as easy as a smart TV. #bitcoin #nostr #design #OpenSource #node DM or zap ⚡️ if you want to help.
