Nostr Web Client

Which version was this on? The latest APK seems to be leaner. That being said, Amethyst connects with 16 relays by default. If you and your followers have data in all of them, it will download 16 copies of everything. On top of that, many profiles pictures are quite big (10mb each). Since there is no rescaling of images yet, it's downloads everything it needs to render from the source, which can easily reach 2gb. Phones only reserve 250MB of local cache, which means once that limit passes, it erases old data to go get new one, redownloading some assets all the time.

That being said, i am using the latest APK v0.11.4 and it runs ok in 200k connections.

Is it possible to upgrade to that version of you've initially installed the app from an app store, or do I need to wait for it to be updated there? Alternatively, I guess I could uninstall from the app store and install directly from GitHub..

As soon as Google stops rejecting my updates... 🫤

If you are comfortable with apks, i would uninstall it and use the APK version for now.

I prefer installing your newest .apk at Github over using google play store. :)

I've been using Aurora Store since it simplified updates and verifies keys for me, but I do have a few apps I download directly. This week be one of those now.

Where can I obtain your PGP key to verify the APK builds?
