Amethyst's todo list:
- Implement Communities (and find a place in the UI)
- Finish the Live Stream implementation (and find a good place in the UI)
- Implement Marketplaces (and find a good place in the UI)
- Implement a local database (and repurpose the app as a real Nostr storage system for your content)
- Implement private group chats (we have to choose a good protocol first)
Not in any particular order.
Awesome, groups will be FIRE! Keep up the great work, sir
Great news!
I'm looking forward to see how the marketplace is gonna work!
#grownostr
As much as I like Amethyst, this feels like too much on a single app. Streaming itself seems a bit of a stretch and marketplace makes it more complicated.
It's an ambitious roadmap which hopefully will come together well ๐ค๐
It could be. But as one of the main apps in the ecosystem, our role is to support as much of the other micro app's expertise as we can, hopefully, given them users as we go.
I am on the fence about #Amethyst implementing communities and marketplaces. I'm worried this could turn into a nightmare, in terms of UI and UX... We don't want to be the Astalavista of Nostr.... What do you think?
Fear of breaking Amethyst should not be a factor in moving forward.
For starters, people can always go back in APK versions to the last app version they liked.
Sounds like you have some UI design needs. ๐
Just a minor inconvenience.
BTW, where are our private lists? :)
Been on holiday with my family this week. Trying hard to stay clear of screens. ๐
by private lists you mean encrypted lists?
yep. On amethyst if you change the feed's preference from All Follows to a list, it does include the encrypted part of the list as well. People can follow folks without anyone else seeing it.
ah, you can create those lists in highlighter, any combination of regular tags and encrypted-in-content tags
So many great features. Now where to put them?
Some people see this and think they won't need specialized clients. They are wrong. Amethyst, as a communities-supporting app, will never be as good as a dedicated communities app. It will never be as good as a dedicated live streaming app. Amethyst will never replace the Highlighter app or a conference app, or a calendar app or a lists app.
Amethyst's role is to support everything in Nostr in order to help each use case grow faster. The whole point of this is to rebuild big tech in a decentralized protocol. And we will do it case by case. Product velocity is key.
Would love that storage system feature to save the nostr files on the local drive as plain json files. This would make it easy to backup whatever content I'm following and interested in archiving.
Marketplace also looks good. Will be waiting to try that one out.
Love this energy! -- This is the way! -- Together WE are Strong! -- It's finna be lit.
An โeverythingโ app will probably be really hard to maintain, both code-wise and UX-wise (too many options/bloated UIs, etc).

I did some UI design concept work on Communities
1. 'Communities' tab on 'Discover' page
2. Communities search bar
3. Communities clickable list items - view and manage
4. Create community button (not sure if possible)
I would like to bring up profile galleries (maybe needs a nip?) As we have stuff to replace Twitter, Reddit, TikTok and ebay, why not also Instagram. Should be configurable so that users can decorate it and not just show all posted media as this makes things weird. What do you think?
- jump to top, jump to bottom dynamic buttons in profiles and DMs
- settings to change appearance mode and theme
- settings to change language
- settings to switch autotranslate-nontranslate
- crop image
- clipboard option
- try again option when the file doesn't render
