Survivorship bias of a very few users who like complicated solutions to things

I think app fatigue is a thing. It took me ages to get amber cos I hate having yet another app. I hate apps lol. I don't really understand what the devs are talking about tho. I just wanted to say 'app fatigue'.

A dev who underestimates users.

The protocol is working

Shouldn't we be promoting freedom to choose whether they use a signer or not? Threats to security grow exponentially and the more Nostr grows, the more threats will impact its users. This limp stance toward security should alarm anyone who uses the app...

Amber is not complicated. And on nostr survivorship bias is something you, as a dev, should listen to. We're the stubborn idiots who have been around long enough to actually USE nostr. If we aren't your target market, then you are missing out on the most powerful force for getting people to use your software. You're pissing off the very people who would gladly help you bootstrap people into your ecosystem. You're a smart dude, and one I genuinely respect as a dev... But I'm never rawdogging my nsec into an app ever again. Especially if it us using chrome as a base, since I avoid chrome at all costs. I'm here because I don't use big tech BS, and that is rather unfortunate to learn. So, yeah. I'm not your target. But I probably should be.

Developer bias complaining that iOS users don't expect such a feature.

Nah. It's better to piss off the technical users, who recommend apps to friends and help them get started. That way they will never recommend your app. Brilliant marketing.

That's really the exact thing I was thinking.

Correction: not using the chrome browser, he's referring to the core structure of his app as a chrome, the app is fully native

I just learned that today... 😅

Evolution and survivorship bias are not the same thing. Survivorship bias is a class of misapplication of bayes theorem due to bad priors. Evolution is the process of inferior things dying off as better options take over. I evolved to using amber exclusively because it provides superior security. The weak (security) apps will all die in time or improve their security. I will continue to ratchet forward my security practices as tools and my skills improve.

It's it very few users though? In your own OP you said you've never seen this kind of response before? Which is true? Think about that.
