I dont know if I am missing anything, but how is this a feature? People *will* switch to different devices. How will the preferences be switched? Lets say the collab list feature is made, how to make it persistent across devices? I understand an open network wont provide everything and devs have to be creative.
switching apps is going to get painful as nostr progresses and has been part of nostr from the beginning, its how the protocol evolves, an app implements and others adopt or not, there will be 'wars' in the future over this, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx made a post on this nostr:nevent1qqsph40x7jfdlrs2e6v4r4dmu652yswur9tws0vzll2pemerksfccacce97ht
i think nostr librarys will be very important to keeping dev consistent and lively
already i find most apps other than amethyst painful
Discussion
oh so at some point these settings get stored on relays as a specific nip or kind or updated version of such, often the relay app needs to be updated too for it to work
there is already a nip for general lists, i imagine collab will work something like edits applied to the original note for a list
most of your nostr settings or info is already on relays
