But why not run strfry relay on your desktop ... and keep phone a consumption device ... the way it was meant to be ...
Point being - can you ever let go a laptop for a phone ? I think not ... but smart phone is optional .. I am pretty sure ...in couple of years no one will have a smartphone .. with AI assistants in watch and earplugs and smart galsses .. phones will be rendered useless .. if they already are not !
Desktop is a creative device .. smart phone is a consumption form !
Mostly because local provides very cool mobile data savings, especially if you are using multiple Nostr apps at the same time.
There is no need to re-download the same profiles in every app. There is no need to re-download profile images in every app.
Nostr likes shareable data. It is one of the main benefits of using a signed data structure. Even when it gets to your OS, all the apps installed in it can work with the same events.
That is a great usecase .... but in grand scheme .. most nostr users will have only one super app .. devs and testers aside ...
I don't think so. Most users on Android already do use multiple apps. These days almost everyone on Android Nostr has Primal, Amethyst and Olas installed, for instance.
Becaue everyone in nostr at this time is either a dev or a tester .. you have 30 K testers :-) .. or super enthusiast creatives ... early birds who picks on everything ...
when you hit masses .. like a billion people - nature of useres will be exactly opposite .. my wife never goes beyond whatsapp .. no matter how I try to convince her :-)
Saying this from experience ... I have tried to run Debian on Android for pretty long .. tried Samsung Dex to use tablet as my laptop ... ultimately .. these phony things don't work .. because the problem is form .. and phone makers have a target customer base - dumb population - who will pay 800 dollars every two years .. They do drop a nugget here and there to keep devs excited but three months down .. everyone understands it was a waste of time !
