Is this Testflight or normal store or both?
Thanks to some analysis from our intern nostr:npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 , according to opt-in AppStore analytics one of the biggest issues with Damus is user retention. 99% of people stop using damus after 6 months.
In the next version we will be looking at ways to get mores users to that “ah ha” moment that gets them to stick around like all of us addicts.
Ideas welcome! Notifications is obviously a big one, but maybe we could make it easier to get people their first sats.

Normal store
Two thoughts. Premise, normal users aren’t switching to another client:
(1) I survived 6 months because the Nostr is a great place to get memes. My wife requires 8 decent memes per day. Hashtag following ftw.
(2) Account discovery is a pain. But I think I survived in part bc I found ~5 accounts who are regularly adding value to my life. nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a longform content. nostr:npub16secklpnqey3el04fy2drfftsz5k26zlwdsnz84wtul2luwj8fdsugjdxk for booze ideas. nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 memes. nostr:npub10fd0ncqmzd6q3e7t9kzlh82asw2jj7kpn7hjvcrfhq4uyzc4dpvsxtvn3n for francophone/humor. nostr:npub17x7htjej3hgcqwqj86u9yvpcunhw6nz4zclzph2zfnlwe4v0yp8qrxvgap for I think witticism.
(I will think of others when I post this.) —> In app follow lists or circles would be cool.
Zaps surprisingly figured more into 2-week stickiness than 6-month.
Really good to know, thanks. We want to start collecting more stories on this.
🔥🤙
#Amethyst has a tab for just scrolling through content. Images and videos. That can be pretty good for discovery.
It can get u occasionally annoying though because you'll run into porn and erotica which makes me double think going through there when in public.
