May I ask you to elaborate on this point?

The typical problem of a centralized infrastructure.

Indeed:

Thank you for the feedback, I know there are still several rough spots to be fixed.

Nostr is a protocol that has a lot of potential, but there are tradeoffs, it now has a large ecosystem and requires learning some new paradigms, and being completely decentralized the terminology is also becoming more standardized and consolidated over time.

This onboarding system is meant to try to explain them, certainly not for people who want to quickly enter an email and a password and start using a specific app. For that one can precisely download an app and use the built-in onboarding, often apps create a profile without asking for anything and invite afterwards to save the credentials.

These are different paths for different needs, the good thing is that with Nostr you have a choice, and when you have created your digital identity, you can use it anywhere.

RSS is great, Nostr is potentially greater. A lot of work is being put in "transparent" and customizable algorithms for discoverability.

Cool tool, I have often thought about something like this, it is certainly very useful.

Nostr!

A similar lady some time ago helped me with a different suggestion: stretch the edge a little near the side and blow in. Problem solved.

Forced to sign up with GitHub or Google? No, thanks.

Funny, a websockes hell! Can you port it to Nostr? Could be an interesting stress-test
