Nostr Web Client

I’m not interested in rebuilding existing systems. I choose the harder path. The path is a bit treacherous but the destination will be worth it.

I get that. Zaps are pretty cool. God bless you for making it.

But if I can’t use Damus instead of twitter

I’ll simply won’t use Damus

I already like Primal more

You might need to focus on rebuilding those existing systems first. Foundation is important.

There’s no shame in creating a better wheel

Bitcoin is a better wheel

Damus is not a better wheel than twitter or any other social media app or content app or networking app. Or whatever Damus is aiming to be, idk

Fix Damus

I’m not even sure what your goal with Damus is or what paying “Purple” to support it would lead to

But I want to root for you Mr. Will

You seem like a genuine guy

Why use primal or damus if you like twitter better? I built Damus because I don’t want to be control of my presence online. Twitter and any other platform can unperson me at any time. Most client devs are underpaid and doing it because they believe in this vision.

Primal depends on proprietary extensions to the protocol to work, and will stop working if they run out of money. Damus iOS and Damus android are designed to be resilient. it will continue to work even if I’m gone or run out of money.

People will choose clients which fit their needs and values. Not sure what you mean by “fix damus”, it is one of the few clients that works for my account.

Bluntly for me it’s all about where one places their values.

If people have a huge following on Twitter and they feel that they can be a bridge from Twitter to Noster right on go donkey Kong. Or don’t we all have to make our own choices, right 🥰🥰🥰

Not sure the discussion is worth your energy Will, this person clearly does not understand how nostr works, and what tradeoffs Primal is making in order to be fast or host a wallet. Whoever wants to understand it, will understand in time.

I don’t understand it

But that should also be his concern if he wants users to support Damus

That’s the same hubrjs that Linux users have that make people never want to try or use linux

Even tho Linux is better than macOS or windows

Don’t matter

Most people don’t know how to use it

So most people don’t use it

What trade offs are they making?

bu5hm4nn 1y ago

The app uses primal’s central proxy server to communicate with nostr relays.

Their wallet is hosted by Strike.

I believe those are reasonable trade offs by the way. And they still give you your keys. But it only stays free if we make sure any client can make it.
