As an idea, we could group your fans under badges. You could add them to the badge based on their preferences (or whatever other criteria you may have) and use badge to collect npubs for DMing. I’ll think more about it, and how we can implement it without new nips. Maybe use lists, there is nip for that too. 🐶🐾🫡
nostr:npub1dww6jgxykmkt7tqjqx985tg58dxlm7v83sa743578xa4j7zpe3hql6pdnf might be in a better position to accomplish this sooner. I am a bit busy at this time but could probably implement something like that when I have time. And of course that is for your generous offer, but I am not sure I can claim it now. I’ll need at least 3-4 weeks from now to even start working on that. 🐶🐾🫂🫡

It's much more tricky than that.
We can at least divide the problem into 2 layers,
The 1st layer is social behavior:
You can't assume every follower uses the same client.
Some client doesn't have notification at all.
Some only has a small UI hint, but no global OS level notification.
Some only notifies if you open the app, not in the background.
And some users never check DMs or use a client that doesn't have a DM, such as Rabbit.
The key need for nostr:nprofile1qqs9fvk57tm98y3lgzpcn44y62d29tt7zpz5nn3ag54ahe9xwxnqzcqayqv2q is not to massive DM followers, but to notify followers through any means.
DM is just one way.
The 2nd layer is the technical layer:
The
current follower/following NIP is flawed, not stable and consistent.
Therefore, using it as a base can only create an unstable feature. It's
probably acceptable to have it work 90% of the time for the first few
weeks. But unbearable for long term.
Therefore,
as much as I would love to have more users to use DMs and Blowater in
particular. We have to assume that most users just never see DMs and
start there.
It's easy for me to implement a massive DM feature in Blowater, but this DM may never be seen by nostr:nprofile1qqs9fvk57tm98y3lgzpcn44y62d29tt7zpz5nn3ag54ahe9xwxnqzcqayqv2q 's followers because most of her followers don't use Blowater and most other clients' DM are just bad.
But I'm happy to accept this challenge anyway because it aligns with my long term product vision anyway. Now it's just more prioritized.
Excellent! I knew you would be the right person to help solve this problem! 🐶🐾🫂🫡
Hello Walter, thank you for joining forces!
You are right, the most important goal is to notify followers that there is something new from me. DM, bell 🔔 notification, etc
I personally used 3 nostr clients at the same time. Depending on the task.
Dont know the technical terms sorry.
For sure there is a clever solution out there which you guys will discover.
We could start developing a prototype on github and then forking and adding functions.
I made a simple prototype
