I think we should pay more attention to what @WendyDing and the yakihonne folks have done. It's a fantastic app that works really well. They've explored and moved around a bunch over the last couple of years, but they've also made yakihonne really solid. I notice that i'm shifting to using it as my go to app, which is funny, because i love my own nos.social, but on my desktop, yakihonne web just works.
Because they're based in Asia i think a lot of western nostr users don't think about YakiHonne, but I think we should celebrate it more.

We appreciate the kind words, we try our best to deliver a solid platform. Users insights are crucial to achieve this, so it’s our top priority to make it comfortable for them using it 🙏
agreed @WendyDing is awesome
@YakiHonne folks, are you open the the idea of renaming Yaki Honne to something more english friendly? (Of course it would be good to do UX research to confirm my suspicion)
This. Not a western friendly brand.
@YakiHonne is awesome!
I respectfully disagree with your statement in regards to why it’s not more popular in the states.
While I acknowledge there is a percentage of people who are willfully bigoted towards people of Asian descent, the vast majority have no issue with them.
And if I am being honest, the folks at YakiHonne are probably some of the nicest people I have ever known.
In my opinion, the reason for their slow rise in popularity in the western hemisphere isn’t their nationality and it isn’t the quality of the product There simply aren’t that many people using the platform yet and when you have more well known clients like Damus, Primal and Nos taking the majority of users, especially mobile, that doesn’t leave much for anyone else.
That’s not to say that they will stay perpetually at the back of the pack, as the user base grows and more praise is deservedly dumped upon this team, the more popular they will become.
We did a long form interview with @WendyDing and @npub147wh...selt about their Bitcoin Discovery journey, Nostr and their @YakiHonne journey!
To those who are able to understand mandarin, give it a listen.
@WendyDing shared about a story that at rural area of Argentine the cashier asked if she has Bitcoin so that they can transact. Unreal.

I absolutely love @YakiHonne on mobile, and will try to use YakiHonne more on desktop.
Well done, @WendyDing, @npub147wh...selt, @Sedd, @Moos, @REDKAZ⚡️| YakiHonne
Stay tuned for the next version.. more good stuff to come 👀

I vote Yakihonstr

I mainly use yakihonne
May use this as my web client. The UX/UI is beautiful.

I'm using Yakihonne only.
So true 💯 @YakiHonne is awesome 😎
Even "Yaki" would be better. 🙂
I’ll toss this one out there. I had proposed it a year ago as a new name for Nostr, but nothing came of it so I’m offering it up to @YakiHonne instead.

"Vomiter"? 😀 (Adam Back just accidentally came up with that and imo it has a ring to it 😅)
LMAO, I can picture this. 

No offense, I really hate this thinking.
Yakihonne would be making a huge mistake to change the name to chase English speaking audience just because of a name.
I feel disgusted that such a suggestion unleashed rabble to also join on changing something identity because they don’t like it.
Really disappointed.
Totally unnecessary! English language bias is a sign of cognitive decline, not a marketing win. Very fiat thinking.
Bro, let's be real. It's unnecessary
Reeks weakness just because some English speakers can't pronounce the name 😮💨
But, if somehow you guys still wanna change it
I propose Teh Tarik ☕
😬
Kopi AIS 🫡 hahaha
Boleh juga 🤣
And maybe you are correct.
That said it's not unusual for brands to use a different name in a different country. Burger King is "Hungry Jack's" in Australia, Lay's is "Walkers" in UK, Opel is "Vauxhall" in the UK, Bud Light is "yellow piss" everywhere outside of the US...
If they change it because they want to compete there and really don’t want to focus on Asian market, sure. But it would be a decision based on strategy, not just because we don’t like the name.
But I believe in blue ocean. Why come and compete in the red ocean.
If it was me I would lean even harder on Asia.
Below they mentioned that this has already been considered and in progress.
Bitcoin is a very high-risk investment because it's a volatile asset. That means that Bitcoin values may rise or fall dramatically in value over a very short period_ even as quickly as a few hours or days. Like all cryptocurrencies and a good mentor will guide you through this though period to make even with the current drop in cryptocurrencies, I still thank you for the balance financial advice. I started investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies with $1,000 and since I've been following you already! Lol jobless claims up all the right things that show higher rates are doing the job and the market goes up inflation with the best way to find the balance between saving.
