What’s your favorite client and what’s the most annoying thing about it?

Just looking to poke around for things that might be fixable.

Nostrudel.ninja is my new favorite client. I think the layout for viewing posts with replies needs help.

Agree. Massive potential!! I will design and pitch to nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr to see if he likes it.

I already proposed many things in DMs, not sure if he saw

I can't wait to see it. The thread view is something I threw together when the client was new and I'd love to go back and rebuild it

Damus - not loving the new relay layout design

Oh I just noticed it! Agree, the top area feels off and looks broken on my small screen (too many items in one row) I also accidentally added a relay just now 😬

Damus, the home button when exiting a thread takes you to the top of the feed instead of where you were currently scrolled to. Only a second tap should do that?

Yeah this is one that’s always a bit to work through to get back to where you were.

Fixing this would be great.

In apps, every one is used to going back to the previous state.

If it was a thread, you go back to that thread, if it was the feed you go back to the feed.

On Damus, going back, no matter how deep of a rabbit hole you are in, you always go back to the feed with one click.

Coracle. If I leave the tab it’s open in, when I come back I have to refresh the page.

Mobile - Damus - don’t like reposts in the main feed.

Also om Damus, when I’m reading a reply, it’s hard to click on the thread. Often I can’t avoid clicking on the music that the person is playing. I have a small phone, so maybe that’s it.

👀 can you elaborate? It crashes, or won't load, or?

If I’m actively using coracle in a tab the feed updates in real time. If I open another tab to do other things and come back to the tab with coracle, it is there but it hasn’t updated the feed. I just refresh the tab, and it continues to be updated.

I was struggling to find something that annoyed me……

Id say 😂

Makes sense. I wonder if this is the case with all web clients with auto refresh 🤔 I haven’t paid enough attention to notice. Usually just refresh right away as automatic behavior.

Yeah, now that I’ve had a chance to think about it, maybe it is 🤷‍♂️😂

Goes to show how much I like Coracle, that I can’t find anything annoying.

I see, I used to have auto loading of new notes but removed it. It seems not that helpful, and sort of annoying to have a "new notes" badge while you're reading. But there is this use case.

You’re probably right. That would annoy me more 😂.

Zap.stream - duplicate streams

Agree!! I told nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 about it many times (perhaps too many 😜). Maybe he’s busy or the solution is not trivial to implement? I’m not sure.

So far, Primal, but it isn't great at likes or reposts. Snort.social works when Primal fails, but I have to log in to Alby every time I start a session.

I finally got Google Play Store installed on my Kindle Fire 10 HD, and installed Amethyst. After copying my NPUB key into it, all I get is a blank profile. Not impressed.

Snort should keep your session. Are you using a browser that clears your cookies after every session?

Damus and really miss rapid one tap zaps ⚡️😩

Umm Marie, damus has this! Just need testflight and “the link” and either alby or mutiny for NWC

But it doesn’t allow you to keep rapid zapping one tap?

Ohhhh on one note for the multizaps that’s right, i wish we could still do that too 😞

Yes that’s what I miss!

Works pretty well!

Damn you wolf 🐺

I miss that!

Takes two fingers….instead of one….

You know it’s all going to be matched and going to the koalas 🐨⚡️

Two fingers are always better than 1 😂

😂

Coracle - love it, but occasionally notes written don't get published and MIA.

Primal - love it, but don't get notified on some notes.

Iris - used to love it, prolly a case of don't fix what's not broken but might be a background tech spec issue idk

Snort - i like it but i keep forgetting abt it

Why do you forget snort?

Amethyst 💯 Android

Amethyst is good 👍 I’m always impressed every time I look at it

Great job by Pedro nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z 11/10

⚡😄

Lets see if you like the Material 3 version that is coming up. :) Major design switch underneath the app

Oh my gosh

👀

Amethyst, but I wish I could copy selected text rather than having to copy an entire post

Damus: speed and crashes.

Interesting. I don’t have too many speed issues other than around videos. But, I do experience crashes, though not too often.

For me I sometimes get some lag while scrolling when I freshly open the app, and that usually leads to a crash.

Oh and one thing that drives me nuts and should be easily fixable is that the clear cache button in the settings has no feedback when pressed!

Satellite. No list support.

I would consider going back to Amethyst, but not until I don't need to give it my nsec.

With amber you dont habe to.

Explain? May have missed this "amber".

Thanks for posting that I fell asleep shortly after commenting 😅

Amethyst on Android. That media tab TikTok feature. I'd like to be able to choose to just see video content or just images.

Amethyst and you can't see who zapped other peoples posts.

Amethyst for Android / satellite for communities

Amethyst by farm such a great client.

When you are typing and the carriage return moves below the bottom of the screen it doesn't move the screen down unless you pause your typing to swipe the screen up. It drives me nuts.

My favorite is Damus but I think the text layout style is wasting valuable space.

You tried adjusting the size?

I tried but I think Primal does this better.

damus x no zaps

I was able to get zaps back (on test flight) after running this and refreshing the app.

https://main--comfy-gnome-e2067d.netlify.app

ya I was early on TestFlight then got kicked off when everyone came in December

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s help a brotha out 🙏

https://damus.io/testflight

I don’t think its full?

fave client is mona for mastodon the most annoying thing about it is its not a nostr client

What’s great about mona?

Literally, just saying I want to use a nostr client

fast, great ui design (on both mobile & desktop), way better than the official masto app, no nostr client comes close to this quality

Thanks! I’ll check it out

Mona is slick! Well designed!

Can you use it as a NOSTR client with ditto.pub ?

Amethyst - When typing a note, my text gets hidden by the icons at the bottom and I have to scroll up to see what I'm typing.

Second place for Amythest - not being able to see the whole post I am replying to (or not being able to scroll it).

Yakkihonne - 99% flawless, but double posts.

Snort / reloads the feed every time you go back after opening a note details

Love using Primal on TestFlight but since the last update I have some issues in that I can’t see notes of a few people that I follow. Currently using Damus

https://snort.social

It's improved a lot, well done!

But automatically showing latest notes doesn't work in notes tab, it would be very useful.

Amethyst

It crashes so frequently now & takes a lot of time to update feed from relays initially 🥲

I know Victor's working on the crashes part.

#nostrudel https://nostrudel.ninja so many features and fast too!

iris shows me that 16 people replied to this post, but there is no way for me to see what they wrote. extremely annoying.

Nostur by far

It gets daily updates and it’s even better than Twitter on many things so hard to find faults.

Primal, although it is a bit annoying that the mobile experience is still WIP

On mobile, I mostly used Amethyst in the past . Nowerdays, I am using Primal a lot.

Well, I like Primal on the desktop and there isn't much that's annoying about it to me. I use Damus on iOS and the most annoying this is that I can't REALLY zap people. I like Primal on iOS but I can't save images, and I like to save memes to my meme bank.

Primal on iOS doesn’t let you copy note id, thats bullshit

(a) Amethyst. (b) Crashes too much.

FreeFrom client, but it's still crashing sometimes in Android.
