View Notedeck as a Nostr browser, more like a Nostr OS. The picture is very large. It's also an incredible task that will take a long time to build out.
It's hard for me to argue points about Damus development slowing down or whatever because I'm not a Damus user. I am happy to get a taste of Will's early intelligence with Notedeck though. Notedeck is the future of Damus. Now maybe if it was 75% complete and he went to work on another project, I'd feel differently.
Yeah maybe as a nostr os there’s potential. However, simply as a note deck I don’t see it. It’s more of a power user feature tbh. The updated to iOS slowed down quite a bit. I think even without the bells and whistles of other clients there are still many improvements that could be made but it seems ever since Apple knee-capped Damus, all energy left the project. I could be wrong, and I hope I’m wrong because this is literally the only client on iOS worth using design-wise. And I don’t think that’s a high bar to clear.
just because I am temporarily working on our android version doesn't mean "all energy" has left the project. both swift and daniel are working on it and are adding lots of features (recently: multi image upload, push notifications). our milestone the past month has been improving less sexy things like onboarding, starter packs, etc. I've been also working on profile pages and nip05 on damus io links so that we can have more reach outside of our nostr bubble.
For damus to be successful it needs to go beyond the walled garden of apple. Incremental changes to iOS would lead to us running out of money and failing. nostur already has tons of features, so for people who want incremental changes of more and more features can use nostur. At damus we're trying to build a recognizable brand and ecosystem of apps that work together.
