I’m already confused haha

Why do I need to “sign up” for a decentralised messenger? Who am I signing up with?

But I guess I’m just overthinking and most wouldn’t think about this.

I thought the same thing.

How did you guys even manage to send messages. If I c&p siggy's npub above to create a new chat, it says "this user isn't on white noise" and I'm stuck at a screen with a link to download the app

I guess the big issue is the actual send/receive reliability. Nostr traditionally sucks at that, right?

Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you mean discovery, it depends on your relay. The most popular relays can be slow sometimes, and I figured that this is why when I open Amethyst it takes up to 3-4 minutes sometimes to load everything up.

One of the things I think is needed w/ nostr is "offline-first", like email. I'd want to have a local cache of everything I've already seen; especially my own notes, and keep track of what got published where, republish when needed. This may feel antithetical to some nostr (pwa) dev patterns but local state should always trump relay state, even if you run your own relay.

All I meant was the nostr dms seem unreliable. I assume it's usually a relay thing. I like your idea of a local cache. A non tech guy like me just wants the thing to work.

Designing for reliability is a bit of an art, and it's hard. It took Signal something like 4 months with at least half their dev team to finally deliver their backup feature in all its glory (and I must have seen every line of code, including the ones they reversed, lol) and these aren't noobs. So let's see what's what. If it's not reliable, maybe it can be made reliable. Affero isn't the worst license to contribute under when it's FSF-assigned (which whitenoise is.)

No, you're not overthinking. "most" are underthinking.

I wonder if people would notice the issue with that

People are literally buying stonks that only exist to buy Bitcoin from the stonk money raised. I doubt normieland cares.

It just generates a key pair. Dumb language though.

The thing that's missing for me is... remote signing. Until then, it can only be throwaway, separate identity; i.e. I wouldn't use this for my SN-listed npub until there is bunker/amber integration.
