Nostr Web Client

The "removed app" (Amethyst) used up the most data, over a one-month period, even though I used it much less than the other ones (Kiwi is Nostrudel, Coracle, Primal, Nostter, Relay.Tools, Nostr.Band, Nostr.Build, and Snort).

I did the same things on Nostrudel and on #Amethyst, and I mostly use Amethyst over WiFi and Nostrudel over mobile. This data usage was the result of accidentally opening Amethyst on the bus or on my lunch break, for 5 minutes.

Days worth of intensive use of Freestr on mobile didn't even make the list.

I have questions.

I changed mine to disable background data usage (although it only used 20 MB of background data) and the power usage from activity-based to optimized. It used 40% of the battery! But I don't think these changes will help much. It's the a version that didn't gobble up so much data?

I also asked some nostr devs about an interapplication nostr cache, if that's even possible on Android due to its security model.

Just have a private relay, like Nostrudel offers.

Or the database.

ok, great idea. I've seen one dev using ws://local.ip.address in a screenshot.

But I guess that depends on the clients recognizing that it's a non ssl websocket server.

I've had two other npubs tell me about the battery problem. I have no idea what all the app is doing, but it's doing a lot and it's doing more and more.
