Similarly concept, but not quite the same. I went through a lot of details with Alex and MK, when I met them. I'm convinced that #ditto is next nevel. I do hope relay.tools will work well too. Ultimately (friendly) competition is a win for the end user.
Discussion
I agree competition is good.
I’m curious what’s the differences between the 2?
I think one difference is that NIP-05 is required to post on ditto which I think could be problematic if a user is part of multiple communities. If we could add multiple NIP-05s to our profiles and easily switch between them or maybe clients could check to see if they have the required handle in their NIP-05 list.
Anyways that was once difference I noticed aside from the UI/ UX I’m struggling to see what is so different
Not 100% sure you need a NIP-05, because I saw it does @npub... otherwise, but I need to check that more. I dont have any issue with NIP-05 myself, it's historically been quite good and useful. However it did get changed recently.
What I like about ditto is that Alex has ideas on how to scale it, and bring things to nostr not seen before. He has also scaled other projects (to millions), so we know it's possible.
What I like about ditto is that it has caching strategies, strategies for fast content delivery, a highly polished UX. It has high interop and an architecture that I love. It is extensible and modular. With ambitious plans. A slight personal bias that I have, is that MK and Alex are both very likable, and bring alot of energy to the project too. I have trust in the team, so I am willing to throw some time at it, and have confidence, it wont be wasted effort.
Ditto also has great professional, documentation. It ticks all the boxes for me, that I've wanted for a long time.
Thanks for sharing
I don’t think a nip-05 is required to post. nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p is that true?
I think I may have confused myself. It looks like ditto is a standalone client with the ability for users to run communities on top using soapbox?!? I guess I was comparing soapbox to relay tools.
And wow 😮
Ditto looks great on mobile web
