It's great to see all the progress with Amethyst! Thanks #[0].
From using the app more, I've noted a few obvervations and ideas. Some have been mentioned before and I've linked to the relevant GH issues.
See replies below for details. What are some of your ideas? ⬇️
A Settings View
This can include options for:
- Key management and backup that could eventually support NIP-06 the purpose of backing up the private key.
- How previews for links, images and other media are handled. Link preview disable/enable, video/audio playback options.
- Translation options, enable/disable it and configure it based on preferences.

Battery Usage, Performance and Stability
- Amethyst appears about 33% battery over 8 hours usage. This looks to be the highest rate of all the apps and faster than the screen at 34% over 13 hours.
- I usually keep the app open so that it doesn't need to reload data. Persisting data longer could help that case.
- As more optimizations are made, battery life should likely improve as well as application stability. It will freeze and stop responding from time to time, prompting a close dialog. The next update at "0.17.4" I think should have some fixes here?
- I've disabled the global feed for all relays and that has helped, atleast for the search/global view, seems to have helped.
Boosting Notes
- If a note is boosted multiple times it could be displayed once and include the number of boosts and who boosted it. This could be limited to within an range of time, and if it's outside that time it would be displayed again with the new boosts?
- While scrolling it can be possible to like or repost something by accident, perhaps a confirmation would help?
Relevant links:
Relay Settings
- The relay settings page is unclear about what the icons mean, having a way to better explain that I think would be helpful. Icons are many times unclear, so just plain words may work out better. Perhaps a legend?
- I know some relays are read-only, it could be useful to show these as distinct, and could possibly be loaded ad-hoc based on the relays listed in NIP-05 and NIP-65?

Identifyer (NIP-05)
- Display the user/domain that has been used to verify, as this can have additional information. On the profile page this could be listed, as well as other places.
