Damus shows you they exist, one tap allows you to see who reacted, reposted or zapped. The info is there, just hidden. There is more zen on iOS generally, remove the unnecessary, make the content king. Keep the info available at the cost of an extra user’s tap.

I don't think that is an iOS vs Android thing, it's just the app design style.

On Amethyst, the notification is supposed to be a glimpse of how your content was received. There is no need to go anywhere else.

I think the idea of meaningful reactions (which doesn't exist on Damus yet) is confusing for those not used to seeing and quickly parsing so many reaction possibilities. The emojis tell you a lot: Those who agree, don't agree, are happy to see the post, or the post left them thinking more about it. We want you to look at it and go: oh cool, I got a few people to laugh at this and two others to think about it. Nice.

I sincerely think it’s an iOS vs Android thing to some extent. It’s two distinct philosophies when coming to UX. I agree, deep down it’s an app thing of course, and Damus feels iOS, if that makes sense. I’m having bugs with Damus lately (crashes) and have been using a whole bunch of clients, all on iOS. They all have wonderful things that the others don’t. I know that Amethyst has a WHOLE lot. But, I just miss that clean, full screen experience of Damus, with content, videos, articles, pics and memes filling my screen as I scroll (especially on iPad).

The beauty of Nostr is that users will gravitate towards the solutions that fit them. There is no one fits all solution, and that’s great.

Keep it simple, stupid.
