App switching is not a bad thing. Our brains are too stuck in Web2.0 mind where we had to choose a single app to do stuff. You don't need to choose anymore.

Argeed… Using iOS and nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg (but only I’m at the gym 🤫🫣)
Every problem I have nowadays is because of multiple apps trying to do the same thing. Less is more.
What are the benefits of multiapps that perform one function? In the case of a single app, this is a same patterns and similar ux for different platforms ana OSs, that makes life easier for the user, for example
no nostr app is feature complete, perfect, or without bugs. sometimes you gotta use multiple apps to get the full experience, or experience as much of nostr as you can.
Yes, I understand this pattern for a today active Nostr users and whole early protocol situation. My question was about a more general topic about our somewhat ossified perception of one-app-usecase, mentioned by Vitor. What is the full experience by the way?
No apps perform the same function in the same way. That doesn't and will never exist. Each dev is making decisions that change what and how you post or see content. Right now if you open several apps, you will see different posts, different notifications, different content in each one of them.
Let me clarify my thought. Different email clients work differently, but perform the same base function for user - receive and sent emails. Everything else is nuances. Let's get back to Nostr. We have a pool of Twitter-like apps with basic functionality. I don't see any advantage in using different ones for the twitter-like experience, if one works well and is available on different platforms. I liked your idea that this might be a relic of the old web. But the question of the benefits of use arose too quickly.
On the email client analogy, picture apps that can see some emails and others cannot. That's the current state of Nostr clients. Even the Twitter-like ones, they all show different things. Your feed is never the same.
it's better to be open to change (especially with ourselves) than stuck. i play with these clients often. check back in on ones i didn't like before, notice the differences and how they are evolving.
I can see apps as we know it quickly being a thing of the past. We’ll be using AI agents and database backends to pull the information we need and display in an “app-like” function in an on-demand way. This will be the way.
yep
I do switch between Amethyst and Primal.
