this is dumb

Thanks for the encouragement semi 😂 Be more constructive. Why do you think it’s dumb?

I understand the concept. Feels pointless. What problem are you trying to solve?

I think it is a bit obvious: - adding friction to account creation intentionally does not help people - what is this supposed to do? “screen” people? how can you verify that (if this is meant to reduce spam)?

Both your points are wrong. 😑 This does not replace the typical onboarding experience. It’s the complete opposite, if fast forwards a new user to post account creation. They can edit their profile and make it theirs if they like the content. And no, it does not screen for anything.

Is like youtube guest? to Permanent guest

I think so 🤔… do you get a new sec for each guest interaction before the real account? Is this to encourage people to post notes, send zaps, repost before creating a full account?

*sec = nsec …autocorrect 🙃

no, when you open the app, the apps generates an nsec for you and logs you in. You technically now have a nostr account, but it does not have a profile. After you have used this nsec enough, it will prompt you to create a profile and download the nsec and store it. At this point you are a nostr user. Its the same process we all use, its just the order of the steps is different.
