1) Remove all instances of keyword “decentralization”. This is used by the VC funded crypto scammers at farcaster
2) “what is njump” - people feel that njump dot me is a virus website. There should be a clear explanation as one of first things seen if folk have the courage to open a njump link. E.g. “njump previews notes published on nostr” as a sub header
3) for the love of my eyes, please improve the contrast - light grey on white; grey on grey is difficult to see for me and others (I am not a boomer, and I struggle with low contrast designs across nostr and beyond). Ideally black font - white background
4) in discussion with franzap (npub1wf4…dgh9) I’ve come to appreciate the term own. “Own your identity”. “Take your friends with you” (your implies ownership of this relationship)
5) per convo with Alex Gleason (npub108p…yev6) Alex (npub1q3s…d26p) current optics are there is free speech on twitter. Yes nostr has this, unlike twitter. That said nostr positioning should focus on nostr strength on taking your identity, friends, content with you in *hundreds/thousands* of nostr apps. This is a unique experience.

quoting note1mrd…f57cWhen I talk about Nostr to people who know nothing about it they are excited that you can:
- own your social graph and take it with you
- your feed is only who you follow, not ads or other recommendations. The ability to curate is key
For people who take the plunge and join the biggest complaint is:
- lack of diverse content. Even people who own Bitcoin are sick of hearing about it all the time.
- - Paired with 2 above, new users bail almost instantly bc they don’t see content that is relevant to their interests.
- in market research and also from user research people see Twitter-like apps as a great way to get news. On Nostr they don’t see the news they are looking for. This is not always mainstream news it can be specific to a topic or region. On Nostr most of the news is RSS feeds that often overwhelm a timeline making it difficult to see other content.
- - to solve the above problem Nos created a news relay news.nos.social that only select journalists can post to. We have plans to update it in the next couple of weeks to add more news outlets and journalists. NOTE: anyone can read from this relay.
