0 sats \ 4 replies \ @deSign_r OP 10 Nov \ on: Design Patterns for Nostr UX Design
Why this exists: Nostr has a retention problem. 30-day retention trends to 0%. We’re at ~10k daily active users. Posts disappear and followers vanish when switching apps. Every app feels like beta software.
These aren’t protocol problems—they’re product problems. Fixable ones.
The research covers six critical patterns:
  • Onboarding
  • Content discovery
  • Core interactions
  • Performance
  • Progressive complexity
  • Cross-client consistency
  • Plus anti-patterns and validation checklists. Over 100 citations backing the recommendations.

I think this happens because ppl had the expectation of a new X or similar social media, but Nostr is not just like that. They don’t receive their algo content feed, their algo followers, their fake interactions with their shit posts, then they go back to lies. Much more I use Nostr much more I saw howsimple and incredibly it’s and devs build incredible things using it.

Social media was a first use case for a decentralized database. There are and there will be many more use cases. Has not been the first, I claim its success to the involvement of bitcoiners and the introduction of zaps in early 2023 with NIP-57

every observation is more than correct. retention is a problem for everyone these days (not only for nostr - I am not using it yet) but I find it fixable with small adjustments in most cases.

Agree, probably due to the low attention span lol
