I still feel bad for developing Amethyst in this world. Gotta figure out a way to improve this.

Amethyst and Nostr apps are so much better than 99% of every other kind of screen time you get nowadays.
Except maybe ebooks.
The type of screen matters. The whole experience is so much less stimulating on a monochrome nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h reflecting the sun and without flicker or blue light while using the backlight. keep building 🫡
you and will both have this curse of being the main dudes making the things for the users of the gadget
life happens, at least you get paid, maybe you can find ways to cut down the job by pushing it out to other things... i like what you are doing with this notifications suggestion, it is the way™️
also nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpr3mhxue69uhhg6r9vd5hgctyv4kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcprfmhxue69uhk2mrfw3jhxtnwdaehgunpw35jummjvuhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9uq36amnwvaz7tmgda68y6t8dp6xummh9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0wfjkccte9emkj6mfveex2etyd9sju7re0ghszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3camnwvaz7tmrdpexjum5wp5kcmpwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uq3kamnwvaz7tmhdpjkzapwdpshqurew3shvetjdchxxme0qyf8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yv339e3k7mf0qqs06gywary09qmcp2249ztwfq3ue8wxhl2yyp3c39thzp55plvj0sgu0a6p4 there is a lot of good logic in the idea we only need one app per platform for the success of this protocol, just saying... watching vitor ruminate about notifications got me thinking about that... how we really don't need more than one, and that's not even a communist idea, it's not a physical product, it's a concept that is executed by a machine
just to be clear, a different client might be good for a specific, PAID service but for the generic twitter clone use case we really only need one, and really, this can eventually mean one codebase, all the things
it's just a matter of building that base on each platform that you can push the One Thing onto
less addictive 🤙🏽😂
Amethyst never pulls me in. I come to it when I feel like it. Huge improvement!
A simple suggestion: build a desktop client.
PCs are a different species than smartphones, they are built to produce things, not just consume them. Therefore they have a more complex, more ductile and therefore more creative environment, which naturally develops skills.
yes.
🙌
I've made a few jokes about this, but i genuinely appreciate the connections and learning I've made through Amethyst, and thank you 🫂.
As communities find use cases for specific apps i'd expect a smaller need for the firehose that is microblogging, and towards a slower, more information rich space as we aggregate to our niches. The everything app will no doubt adapt for such a situation.
