Nostr Web Client

**Today was an extremely active day on Nostr**

And the best part? It was all because of two tiny events.

* Damus added NIP-05 ID display in their app

* Damus cleared slots for about 700 new TestFlight users

These events revealed several major takeaways:

The Nostr FOMO is real. No matter what your friends say, no matter what naysayers on Twitter post, today was evident that people *care about Nostr*. They are experiencing FOMO and they are experiencing it bad.

Nostr was so active today that one popular Relay was pushing over 100mbit/sec of traffic. That's one relay and it's just text - no videos or images.

This type of traffic isn't sustainable for the average Relay operator. Soon, Nostr will have to switch to Value 4 Value models to help Relay operators pay their bills. They can only survive on donations and the goodness of their own hearts for so long.

If this is what Nostr was like today, can you imagine what it's going to be like when Damus gets approved on the Apple App Store?

What about when an Android client finally hits the Google Play Store?

Keep building.

I have never used Damus. I am an Android user :)

Ah cheers! I was an android user between 2016-until about 4 months ago 😊 Work efficiencies made me change back 🫠

I've been a proud Android user since 2010. I've never owned an Apple device besides the iPod Touch my girlfriend, now wife, bought for me back in 2005.

Just curious because from the app, I’m not sure I’m viewing info from all the relays, unless that just happens naturally on the backend? They’re toggled on but beyond that - I’m not actually doing anything apart from refreshing my feed.

I keep seeing #[1] mentioning for people to add the recommended relays. That's all I know for that.

Also, you don't want to try and collect all of the relays. I still need to go through mine and figure out which ones I should actually be using. The more you use, the more data you're sending out. I used over 5GB in one week and burned through all of my data.😂

I just tried to get a friend on Damus but he’s an android guy. Have a link bookmarked I can send him to set it up?
