Now let me also try to respond to your feedback (big thanks again). It’s so detailed, that I don’t think I should reply to everything. Overall, it sounds like the page works well, and that there’s mostly polish left, which is a great spot to be in. You have lots of valid points that I’d like to split into 4 separate groups (spelling & grammar, content, general site tweaks, Discord onboarding), and then implement them one by one.
I’ll just try to respond to some of the questions.
-
Nostr is a decentralized social-networking protocol that bitcoiners came up with and love. It’s not owned by anyone, run by the community, and has great bitcoin integration. It’s still very early in its life and has to prove its place in the world. But it’s also super fun and fresh compared to our social media corporate overlords. Primal is a great client if you’d like to try it.

The images are intentionally playful and decorative (therefore the “” alt texts). They break up the text and set a more casual tone. I think that when you’re in a functional part of an application, everything should have a purpose and communicate. But for an intro page like this one, we can take some creative freedoms (see the Starbucks expression scale).
-
For the Word document with editorial feedback, is it possible to share PDFs right here in the forum?
-
The community and foundation sites intentionally have a different look (per your comment on the fonts). They are related, but the foundation is its own entity (for a clearer governance structure).
-
The circular logo in the footer is the community seal/logo. It’s used on the home page and favicon and some other places, but I can see how it’s hard to recognize. I think it also needs a proper title tag.
-
For color contrast, we use the newer APCA model. I find the current recommendations in the WCAG standards woefully outdated. We also support the prefers-contrast CSS feature, so there is more contrast for people who enable that in their OS accessibility settings.
-
I think dark themes are great for applications, but not necessarily for visually expressive content pages. Makes it very hard to design graphics, when they have to look great both on light and dark backgrounds.
-
Discord onboarding can be a bit disorienting. Their tools for customizing it are also not super clear and keep changing. We’ll have to take another pass at it and see what we can do.
I hope I got the main questions
. I have a separate list of tweaks that I’ll address in different Github PRs, as I mentioned above.
At the bottom of your feedback it says translated using DeepL. Does that mean you write your posts in another language and have them auto-translated? If yes, is that a simple process, or do you find that you have a to still edit a lot?
