Subnostr

I'm sure this has been thought of before; so tell me to shut up if I'm being redundant.

We create a nostr app named something like "TheZapperXXX". We give it an id and a profile so we can send notes to it. It lives on a raspberry pi or something somewhere. Perhaps many of them run on many raspberry pis in many somewheres and we create a clever little N-phase-commit protocol that allows them to negotiate amongst themselves.

Those of us who want to send zaps using a phone app that doesn't want us to send zaps register with TheZapperXXX with our wallet connect info using a special DM.

When we want to zap someone we send a DM to nostr:TheZapperXXX with a content like "zap nostr:someguy 1000."

Apps for phones made by Big Tech Asshole companies who don't like zaps, allow users to create template messages and attach them to buttons. The phone user has to set this up one time; but it's easy. When the user wants to zap someone he hits the template button he set up. That button loads the appropriate zap message to TheZapperXXX and the user sends it.

OK, why won't this work? Or is someone already working on this?

1. Don't use Apple shit. I know I sound like a broken record, but why allow them to tell you what you can do with a device you own?

2. Zaplinks.lol fixes this.

3. You can use Snort.social and many other browser based apps to zap notes. Appstore are shitcoins. Just another way for businesses to become the state.

or you could just stop using apple products.. best option all around.

Slight custodial risk, but I think it should work

Its a custodial risk.

But I think the real question is Why are people so adverse to just ditching apple? For years they've made their intent clear by complying with draconian chinese regulation and removing other bitcoin related apps (mostly wallets) so why support this? It seems extremely asinine to want to still support a company thats bent on curtailing what you can do with their device and restricting your freedom. Vote with your dollars and move on.

Im not saying google is better at all, they are not. But at least with most android devices you have the option to use other software and you dont habe to go as far instslling a new operating system. A few button pushes and boom good to go.

Because we want nostr to reach as far and wide as possible.

apple products are used only by fairly wealthy westerners. the vast majority of the world uses android and non mac pcs. apple has nothing but contempt for their own customers. at every turn they engineer their products to restrict their users options and break interoperability.

stop letting them abuse you.

I like your constructive pragmatism.

I for example didn‘t understand yet whether #[2] has a problem with the new release only (direct zaps) or with zaps via intent over a lightning wallet app.

Which is it now? I‘m ok with how #[3] works currently. So I would also be ok with your proposal.

The world will move to direct zaps eventually.

Whoops, they actually seem to have changed their minds about the current app: nostr:note1jg54692zllnt5vfucsa4j503fplavstd4x8fyz4xg04x85qsqa6q9waex3
