Nostr Web Client

FWIW, I'm using GrapheneOS specifically to de-Google (in the sense of them vampiring my data). I've tried all the open source keyboards and they are all unusable for me. I am running the latest version of Google's GBoard which is the best keyboard for me functionally by many miles.

The beautiful thing about Graphene is that you can install GBoard and very simply give it zero permissions; no networking, no contacts, no microphone, no photos and videos... and then you get a fully functional keyboard and none of the siphoning.

Will give this a go. It would make the device much more usable. But I probably not enough to seriously consider it as a daily driver. Its just not an enjoyable experience.

I’ve got a Linux laptop for things I want to do more privately and iOS / Mac for stuff I just want to work. I just don’t want to do the phone tinkering. Don’t like dealing with profiles and lack of notifications unless the right setting is toggled, banking app headaches, app stores that don’t work half the time, etc.

Not what I’m looking for in a primary use device.

My use-case is probably different from yours but I can 100% honestly say that Graphene works better for me as a daily driver than the stock Android on a Samsung A71 that I switched from. I only have one profile. I was expecting to have to spend a lot of time setting things up and tweaking, but it ended up being less than I feared, and since I got the phone set up and configured, it's been surprisingly stable and reliable.
