I still appreciate Damus for its clean design, but Nostur and YakiHonne have pulled way ahead in terms of features. Havenāt used Damus much in the past monthā¦
Just made a post on Nostur that Damus doesnāt even recognize. But it shows up on olas, yet Damus doesnāt even know I made a post at all! How much of nostr am I missing by using Damus??
Damus is basically abandoned software imho, purple subscribers are getting stars on their profile as an update while other apps are displaying new kinds like images and live events and all kinds of stuff i probably have no idea about because im using ā¦ Damus.
Why is notedeck more important than the application subscribers paid for? nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s ??
Recommend Damus users migrate to Nostur, itās pretty rad and basically better at everything.
Discussion
Sure itās fast and scrolls quickly and isnāt cluttered, but itās literally not even showing me posts from the people I follow because it doesnāt support their kinds??
At one point Damus was innovating kinds and forcing their adoption, and now itās just ignoring them?!? Whacksauce.
Agreed
Why do you think it loads fast and scrolls quickly?
There is no expectation that every app will support every kind.
My next iteration on ios is going to make it even faster (as fast as notedeck). Performance and reliability is always the priority for us. Thats why people use it despite a smaller feature set compared to other apps.
I will probably add olas images eventually though because i always wanted damus to have more media content on profile pages.
Our main focus is getting android out so people have this fast experience on all platforms. Then i will get back to ios.
Daniel is actively working on iOS. we didnāt *just* add stars, that was a small hotfix for our anniversary. We also have drafts in testflight and fixes that make notes open more reliably from notifications and links, plus qrcode scanner fixes since that was broken.
Daniel is working on tasks that are making the app feel buggy or unreliable. No point in adding more and more features if there are outstanding bugs and crashes.
He is only part time and we donāt get *that many* contributors to iOS, i donāt know what to say. We are not a well funded team. Itās just me and someone i pay out of my pocket at a loss. We are trying our best.
Damus Rocks šš«ā”ļø

This is 100% facts. While other clients have more features Damus is very stable and zapping works flawlessly. I tap the bolt and BOOM zapped. Once Damus has content discovery I think it will be a very powerful nostr client
Yano, I have to digress with your opinion i why people use it, it WAS the best iOS client, thatās why people use it. Then itās called being lazy, so I never used anything else because well it worked well enough, but now youāre suggesting that iOS subscribers are funding your prioritization of an Android client? And a desktop client? Wtf? No wonder it has a āsmaller feature setā because youāre working on Android!
The whole point of this post is to make Damus users aware of a BETTER iOS client. And sure, itās not as fast and smooth, but I didnāt start using Damus because it was slick, I started using it because it was the best on iOS. You started zaps, and you made pictures look good, but guess what, now @NOSTUR does all that stuff better. Along with a ton of other stuff I had no idea Nostr even did!!
