Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

I like that private companies prioritize user experience. Open source is great but does not compare when it comes to making it easy for a regular user to get started. I think the growth of OpenAI and midjourney demonstrate that well. Look forward to more user friendly experiences in open source 🙌

Agree that open source cohesive design is lacking. But that’s fixable. Many open source devs are not used to working with designers and vice versa.

Couldn't disagree more. Private companies ruin user experience by prioritizing ads , tracking, drm , subscription logins, payment options for blocked features, forced upgrades, walled gardens, spyware, govnt interference. I mean isn't that exactly why Nostr is exists. I believe the non open source clients and elements are going to make it deteriorate.

Not sure how to respond to this short of writing an essay. You threw everything into the mix… It’s not hard to see we have UX issues (for now)

We’re just beginning to explore the ways to build nostr design-development bridges. Open source is innovative, there’s no reason why that shouldn’t apply to design too. Improved user experiences help all of #nostr.
