i think hamstr.to must have replaced the relay query and browser db code too bc it feels a lot more lightweight and faster than astral. they also have likes/reactions so def more than just a new skin. been meaning to check out the code.

I I do like seeing Likes and it does feel a lot smoother. Maybe you can merge some code back over to Astral? That's the whole point of open source software! We all rise together.
well likes is mroe of a design decision... but we'll see how long I can hold out. personally would prefer to just go to paid likes but don't know timeline on that.
but yes, I like some of the design decisions and am interested to see how they handle relay data. oss ftw!
I use Astral on my desktop and Snort on my phone. when on my phone, I really like seeing and using likes. It's a nice metric that people see my notes and appreciate them. I like the whole thought of 1 sat = 1 like, but maybe there's a middle ground while you work on that feature.
Noooo... no likes on Astral, please 🙏
Likes will ruin conversations and if anyone like what they see or read, there's a tip option or awesome invoices
good to know that there are others who agree with my omission of likes!
I agree too! Likes are cheap bullshit! They are a productive of these pavlovian social network platforms that try to get you addicted and turn everybody into slaves.
I tend to like that too. You can always just rip a +1 as well.
this was your last post... where you at?
