Imo #amethyst needs to have Communities somewhere priminent. Who even uses 'reels' ? Fro example. Even DMs have become somewhat redundant.
Spent the day redesigning #Amethyst as way to get accustomed with designing for android. The great thing about doing this for an "Everything app" is that I now have plenty of components ready to drop and adapt in more niche micro-apps. https://cdn.satellite.earth/593d4e5949e5f5426a68e07225a4c46a7bd5e2551f79106ec5aa9b491776d414.mov
Exploring some ideas as well:
👉 Slide-out Dashboard with:
- Wallet Connect
- Create button for: note, reel, article, event, ... (since there will only be more of these)
- Activity Log, ...
👉 Custom Feeds:
- A selector to switch between feeds that go way beyond selecting profile lists
- Explore existing feeds created by others + DVMs
- Create you own based on: profile lists, relays, event kinds, .....
👉 Explore:
- Search on the navbar (since it's on every page already)
- Make it an explore page instead of just leaving plenty of space empty

Currently designing the Communities part!
Reels is wishful thinking for users who aren't here and who may never turn up.
That's why I'd personally make them part of certain types of Feeds (opt-in) and not on the navbar.
Reels are where most of the Nostr content will be. It has a bigger user base than a Feed or a Chat interface.
Maybe, I like the optimism. It's supposing nostr will eat the Instagram and tiktok experience, or something?
Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Depends how you see things panning out in the future too. Tastes change. There feels like there might be somewhat of a resurgence in messageboards/forums for example. The pendulum could be anywhere lol.
There's not much usage now that's for sure.
I agree. It's weird because I never use the reels on amethyst like ever. I don't want to see fucking pictures dude. Like I'm trying to read stuff and answer questions
That might actually be true. Making me rethink things here, me gusta.
I never use it
💯
Fuck yeah. Whats going to be different?
