For those unaware nostr:npub1tltf8es60957eawprkl4ecs2akkpe6n3wgt4tvphj4vef0mqvxasv6ve7g has created a side loaded version of Damus for iPhone that retains zaps. The process is not overly technical and it works great.

Well it doesn't help those who cannot afford an overpriced Apple computer. Most people are only on a phone.

It’s for the phone

Not according to the website.

You need a computer, but doesn’t have to be iOS. It can be windows

Money...

yeah this is unfortunate. And true about all the sideload w/o jail break solutions I’m aware of.

I don’t like the fact it takes government to push them, hopefully in 2024 eu forces apple to allow official side-loading, I suspect their retort might require devs to pay for a pricy certificate like on the Mac, and “open anyways” buttons. But it shouldn’t require multiple apple products.

Meanwhile Amethyst continues to develop at speed. The most poetic and entertaining shift here isn't to sideloading but to Graphene.

I did that too. Self hosted Snort is fast and works well over VPN. I like Amethyst as well, however I have a recurring issue where it drops everyone’s profile pictures.
