But should we, though. On amethyst we have two feeds. But we could merge them.
I just don't know if people want to see their family photos from Olas in the middle of their political shit from random people on kind 1s.
Discussion
I like separate feeds. It makes it feel like a different app experience. But when that happens, does that mean it actually should be a different and separate app?
A UX issue needs to be solved.
I had this conversation with nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyf8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetnn9mexk about Primal. When you're viewing an image feed, creating a new post from there would assume that your image would show up there, so that makes sense. But when a user is viewing their regular feed and posts and image and the image does not show up there, well that's confusing. This goes for Amethyst too.
Where does that end though? Is the solution then to just change kinds dynamically when a user adds a photo? That only seems appropriate sometimes and we all see several notes every day that making this change to automatically would seem not correct. Such as longer notes that could probably be long format kind 3023. But then to resolve this, do clients automatically change kinds based off of character counts too? I see plusses and minuses for all of these examples.
Maybe the FAB to create a new note asks what kind you'd like to create? New note, new image, and new blog, and then the kind is chosen based on what the user selected?
That's still confusing since you can still post and image in kind 1 or make kind 1 be a very long post, but maybe since the user has that initial choice it makes a little bit of sense?
Maybe we need some mock-ups and A/B testing?
Kinds are centrally chosen. Posts, lists, and feeds are organized by user choice. One could say kinds are varied enough to allow for that choice, but even if so, the client's choices predetermine what options will be viable, in context. All that to say, I don't know. But open standard consensus questions and historical wisdom can't be ignored. Who wrote the essential works on these topics already?
