You should try Rabbit
I generally use Snort on my desktop but now that Amethyst has custom reactions, I open my phone every time I want to "hug" a post... So... much... work...
nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 when custom reactions on Snort? :)
Discussion
Do they have an English interface? I only see this:
Not yet - I used it with Google translate.
But the dev nostr:npub1jcsr6e38dcepf65nkmrc54mu8jd8y70eael9rv308wxpwep6sxwqgsscyc -san has internationalization on the roadmap
different UX from other clients + lots of emoji options
This also reminds me we need to figure out a way to help people cite folks using alphabets unknown to the current user. I have no idea how to create those characters to @ him/her in my post :(
Suggestions?
Not really sure if even trying to draw characters via Gboard will help 😔
Maybe surfacing last 5 profiles interacted with on typing @ ?
Google tells me that the way to say the name is Shusui. If that is true, I think `@ Sh` should bring up his profile. This means a phonetic search might be the solution here.
Interesting - but wouldn't that involve specifying a language to search in? (And the user knowing how the name is pronounced)
In the specific case of Japanese users, it's not that much of an issue - as mostly their @ handles are in English.
Yep, but I feel bad for making non-English natives have to express their names in English. What if a Japanese person wants to be cited by an Arabic-native speaker and none of them have good English exposure?
It's awesome that you're even thinking about this. Tbh, from observing on global, people tend to stick to their language communities, are used to having English-alphabet usernames/ handles & this scenario is going to be uncommon.
When Amethyst (Onyx?) & to an extent Damus are the only clients with translation, to many users, notes in other languages may only just be above spam.
Agree. I hate forcing people into language communities. We have to find a solution for this.
I think a pronunciation-based search is an interesting idea. And I watched your video. I think it is an interesting idea to hear the pronunciation. Is there a better way to transcribe the pronunciation into the user's language? The Latin alphabet is used in many languages and the same name can have several pronunciations. Because languages use different phonemes, it can be difficult to transcribe the pronunciation of other languages.
Now, Rabbit supports English in case you still want to try it out
