Nostr Web Client

bought a budget android tablet to test out a pre-alpha version of Damus Notedeck on it. Works quite well! Most other apps on this thing are sluggish.

The difference between this app and most other nostr clients is that it only ever talks to the local relay. This reduces the overall experience of latency and lag when using the app. Once the note arrives, it will always load instantly at any point in the future. We will be moving iOS to this model not long after we iron out the bugs on the android side.

Another distinguishing feature is that Damus Android is purely native, it's running directly on the CPU and drawing directly to the GPU. This makes it insanely responsive on all devices, since there is no javascript, web or java overhead.

Excited to release this sometime this year! Building multiple apps in parallel with such a small team is time consuming, but we're getting there. Thank you for your patience!

In college i was taking a computer security exam, we were given two hours to reverse engineer a binary executable to explain what it was doing. Was a badass moment when I handed in the exam 5 minutes after it started and watched everyone look at me like wtf as I walked out.

so yes im a computer nerd 😆

yeah aced that one 🤓

not really fair though, i spent my entire childhood reverse engineering video games and data formats. You could bring any tool you want to the exam. I knew exactly what to do.
