It’s pretty dumb and makes the UX janky af. Its a petty move by apple to discourage non-apple-pay solutions. You can’t even do micropayments of that size with visa, so it makes no sense. They should change their policy.

What if you could click the zap icon after your profile name. Makes it obvious you are zapping the profile, not the note, and also you could still maintain the one-tap-zap in the timeline 🤔
As long as we’re creating profile zaps instead of note zaps it should be ok?
Makes sense imo
You could even keep the UI/UX element of it, just change the placement and remove the zaps tab. 
Keep finding the sly roundabout way ⚡️
We’ve dealt with jankyness before 😅

I wonder if having a zap button on the comment that is a client side redirect to the profile would work? That way no one could tell what note is being zapped, the user would just see the funds in their wallet.
