Why? Did you ask your users to see if this is what they wanted?

Also, it looks like you are two clicks away from notifications. Is that right?

No, notifications is always on screen in the bottom right.

Then I am just confused why are you comparing this with a notifications screen.

yes you are comparing different views. The only difference is that we don’t group all the events on a single note. We do it more like twitter where we only group based on the same notification type (zaps, likes, reposts)

The point I was making the other day is that giving users a familiar experience is important during this phase. Users are leaving Twitter (or X or whatever the fuck it will be called tomorrow) in search of a better place, and the UI of the apps they onboard with shouldn’t create another obstacle for them.

For me -what’s going on, hashtag wise (trending) would be useful. If you just put a hashtag into search, nothing appears underneath-it’s empty. I get why-but not a familiar thing for people. If a list of what’s been hashtagged already, appeared underneath, this could help to navigate around a bit and increase content accessibility. I think some people are still basing a lot of their experiences here on the people they follow-not content because they are unsure of the hashtag thing.

Agreed on the search issue. Clients haven’t gotten this working well yet. I still use https://nostr.band to search for anything and then copy note IDs back to Damus to reference them.

It’s annoying but decentralization has a lot of gaps. Most #nostr clients are less than 6 months old and don’t even qualify for a true 1.0 status.

Sorry, is this on Amethyst? When you search for a hashtag, the first reply should be an option to see the hashtag feed. The button is not as clear as I would like, but it is there.

Let me know if it is not showing up for you when you type #word on search. There might be a bug somewhere.

No, Victor-this is not on amethyst. Many apologies-I should have made myself clearer.

You can ask nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s that question but he has been very communicative and open to feedback and I have not seen many user complaints about the tabbed view.

Lmao coming from the guy who makes users create entire forked versions of Amethyst before he listens to their feedback.

I wish we had more forks. The more the merrier.

Funny story: my initial vision for Amethyst was to require every person to fork the repo on GitHub and when they did that, a GitHub action would change Amethyst's name/package id and release the user's own version of the APK, ready to install. One-click deployment type of thing. That was the only way I found to not centralize it on me.

That's why the app is in my personal repo. I was going to change the app id to people's usernames at every new fork-install. It would have been beautiful. True decentralization.

But people love to centralize.

They gave me feedback, I listened to it and decided to ship the app myself in the stores. It's worse, but it got us going.
