>> As someone who never used Twitter, I made a Bluesy account and it was okay. I learned that I have no idea how to engage with that style of social media. One thing that put me off is how so much of what I saw was just talking about Bluesky vs Twitter. I hope they can move past that. > Lol, I got curious about nostr, and it's the same thing, with an extra layer of "crypto currency will save the worl ---- Are we early?

Can you shill me some great websites/apps that support Nostr Connect (bunker url)?

I'm thinking whether it would be better to give bunker URLs a different enconding, e.g. url-safe base64. The current format for a new user is rather cryptic with special chars and some domains hints, but providing little useful information; and it has usability problems, e.g. it is easy to copy it incorrectly after a two-click selection, since this action copies only part of it. Example: bunker://8cfec14dc07bcc113fc447aee962af10d17eef6f7582a905f0bb1cd49904fa9a?relay=wss%3A%2F%2Fmyrelay.test.com would became: bunker://OGNmZWMxNGRjMDdiY2MxMTNmYzQ0N2FlZTk2MmFmMTBkMTdlZWY2Zjc1ODJhOTA1ZjBiYjFjZDQ5OTA0ZmE5YT9yZWxheT13c3M6Ly9teXJlbGF5LnRlc3QuY29t A bit longer, but nothing dramatic. Probably I would also update the prefix, from "bunker" to something more nostr related and suggest that it is data that should be kept confidential. Maybe "nsecbunker". Last, I would add a versioning param, es. v=xx, to facilitate future migrations. Opinions? /cc @fiatjaf @hodlbod @Mike Dilger ☑️ @PABLOF7z @greenart7c3

Actually Pokey also seems like an interesting solution if you decide to *not* install any other Nostr app on your phone: just get the notification without getting trapped, and put off any activity until when you are at your PC. @KoalaSat maybe you could think about some specific features for this use case, for example the possibility to pin a notification and snoze it, ora add a short note.
