Nostr client developers really need to make it easier to add friends via QR codes — especially when meeting users in person, not just following them online. Many clients are quite inconvenient in this aspect, and some don't even have this feature at all. It's unreasonable to expect users to manually type long public keys, and given that Nostr is decentralized, search functions are already limited. It’s frustrating that even when you meet someone in real life, adding them as a contact can be such a hassle.

make sense

Great!!

I clicked to check the details, and it said the connection wasn't secure. But when I clicked again, it suddenly said there was no problem with the certificate. I'm not sure what's going on. I tried to capture a screenshot of the English message, so I switched the settings to English, and then it suddenly showed everything as normal with no issues. Then, I switched back to the local language, and now the warning has disappeared. It seems like there might have been some issue with the local language version. Not sure what caused it, though.

I already starred it before, so I tried leaving a zap, but it didn't work. It says it's not connected to the NWC relay. Could this be related? Maybe the domain certificate has expired or something...

Yeah, it's really frustrating. When I first encountered Nostr and heard it was trying to solve the problem that other social networks don't show notes from people i follow in chronological order, I didn't really understand it—especially as someone who doesn't really use social media. But lately, I've come to understand it perfectly.

It's hard to reverse a negative first impression, so I believe it's better to ensure at least minimal usability and comfort before promoting a service. Besides, it's difficult to recommend a social platform (whether a microblogging app, messenger, or anything similar) if users aren't confident that their direct messages will actually be delivered.

I was using Zeus Wallet and thought I wouldn't need Alby anymore since it supports NWC, so I uninstalled Alby. But it turns out Zeus isn't as reliable for payments—while it works fine when using Zeus directly, it often fails when connecting through apps via NWC. Probably because Zeus runs locally on mobile, whereas Alby operates via server. Looks like I'll have to reinstall Alby.

permanent storage (best-effort) for paid users, and volatile storage for free users to save space

I see that spam filtering is being handled, but simply blocking known spammers every time isn't a real solution. Eventually, is WOT (Web of Trust) the only answer? Or perhaps a PageRank-like scoring system based on extensive collection of kind 3 events? I'm also curious how your relay operates. I've considered attaching tiny amounts of e-cash as economic incentive for relay operators, which could contribute to a healthier ecosystem. But since events are commonly pooled and broadcast simultaneously to multiple relays (especially since there are usually several tagged recipients in a p-tag, and each user likely has at least two or three inbox relays), I'm not sure users would accept the added complexity. Plus, managing different policies(price) across relays would make implementation quite cumbersome.

Oh, I see. thk
