Now perhaps a bunch of these are preference/design choices, but whatever, especially the combination makes it suck imo:

- looking at a reply via notification or reply tab does not show what is being replied to;

- selecting a reply makes you go to the top of a thread making you scroll down to go to the actual reply, instead of showing you the reply directly;

- it only loads specific subthreads, not the entire thing with all the replies etc.

- this forces you to select a comment to see its replies;

- that again brings you to the top of the thread first, not the reply, you have to scroll down;

- it does not tell you if a post has any replies, let alone how many.

- scroll speed

This turns everything into a giant guessing game. Does it have replies? Lets find out, lets scroll down at a snails pase; ok cool this thing has comments. Does it have any other subthreads? Well who the fuck knows, only way to find that out is to brute force your way through i guess, reloading the thread over and over and over and over again turning it more into a blind maze you have to rewalk everytime than anything else really.

- it does not load data by itself, for instance if someone is referenced it will just throw out a ???, and only after selecting the ??? and it loading the profile will it know who/what it was and remember it.

Thats on top of my head.

Also, posts sometimes dont fit the screen and will just cut of the part on the right (even with the side tab tucked in), and will only fit the screen after selecting the post specifically.

Oh! Forgot. Android has three buttons; ||| , □ and < . This back button ( < ) universally among every app out there lets you exit the app back to your homescreen once you reached the top of the apphierachy. In damus, it just does nothing. First time i have encountered that in any app. Technically i can still use the dedicated □ button, but i am not going to learn new controlls because one app decides to be an outlier.

attention span is short these days

These buttons don't exist in Graphene, at least not by default

Recent versions of android have a little bar at the bottom edge and back is swipe from left and top down is system menu swipe up bottom up is activities.

Idk about newer versions but you can renewable triangle circle square. Triangle is back, points down to hide keyboard, circle is to go to the launcher and square is the activities menu.

I prefer the buttons.

The buttons still exist as an accessibility feature but ended up being maintained less and less. Some apps may not gracefully handle them these days.

back button should work, weird

Constant 3mo ago

It does inside the app, but it wont let me exit the app via the back button.

we actually had it like this, but nostr:npub1fgz3pungsr2quse0fpjuk4c5m8fuyqx2d6a3ddqc4ek92h6hf9ns0mjeck preferred it this way. I dunno, I think we might go back to the old way eventually because I agree with you

jb55 3mo ago

but yes everything else on this list I think we have an issue for and will be fixing

Its a preference thing i suppose. I don't rely on feeds at all, i only follow a hand full of active people and just use their posts and replies as a jumping off point to browse nostr, going from thread to profile to thread etc. So i depend on seeing everything. I recon if you just mainly are interested in OPs by a sophisticated selection of people of interest to you, or are some super influencer rockstar that just manages his parasocial relationships (or ignores them rather), things might be different.

Ideally it is a setting/option with whatever opinionated default, but i don't know how much of a burden it is to maintain that.
