This post (from 2023)
https://asknostr.site/question/note1y434v7u96zkj35kktyj7aj888r63va7qvc6h6ww6pm78fsjrkzvs6yleaa has a lot of unsolved truths

2026-02-12 16:48:58 UTC

Been digging into Nostr retention stats from https://stats.andotherstuff.org/
Nostr cohorts look like this:
- Week 1 retention: ~5–10% 
- By Week 4: ~0–3%
This pretty much states that hardly anyone stays around....
For reference: a16z’s benchmarks for consumer social networks say:
- “OK” apps: 40%+ Week 1, 20%+ Week 4 
- “Great” apps: 75% Week 1, 50%+ Week 4
So yes, our retention is objectively bad right now — and that’s the point of this post. How can we improve retention?
If we want to make this thing work every nostr app/developer needs to obsess over those retention cohorts

- 0:0 to 0:10: Multi-Profile. Better UX on mobile
- 0:10 to 0:30: Filter by followers/mute list. Improved filter UX
- 0:30 to 0:40: Upvote answer/Mark winning answer
- 0:40 to 0:50: Leaderboard/Top zappers. Marking who you follow and mute
- 0:50 to 0:55: Detail profile page

I know it's not the best answer, but i've given up on NIP-07. The extensions are all limiting or in some cases broken. No mobile support, etc...

Don't think this exists, but based on those requirements i would recommend taking a at vibe-coding it. Doesn't feel that hard as it's just generating/signing/broadcasting an event for every person in a spreadsheet.

Hmmmm. Not sure I get the full question.
On asknostr.site (and a lot of other sites) you can generate an nsec/pubkey combination when signin in. The key is stored locally (local storage) but never shared with the server/network.
Tools like njump.start allow you to download that nsec/ncrypt in a nice zip package (all client side).
