Evidence-based UX patterns for building Nostr apps people actually use

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.

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.
