I don’t track that so I have to go by Apples stats, below is: Active Devices

I think the last legs down can be easily explained by X doing well on free speech so people feel less need for alternatives, but we all know it still has the same centralized problems, so just a matter of time before something happens and this repeats over and over again.

Also my app is still kind of obscure. Primal, Amethyst or Damus probably have more accurate stats closer to the whole network.

Your app competes with Damus.

I want your full Swift code and less conventional interface, that interface could also serve as a template for a Minotaur maze.

Recently I encountered the custom share sheet for the first time, I shied away in disbelief. It has all options since the beginning of time, and then some.

It may seem that way but only in the sense that people have a choice. For me there is no point to compete with Damus, my goal is to get more people to use nostr. This is also the reason why in the early days I posted a lot less than I could on nostr to try to get people to use my app, why would I? The only other iOS nostr users were Damus, and they were already using nostr.

So no, Nostur doesn’t compete with Damus, it competes with centralized social media.

Not sure what you meant with the rest but you can use all my code (GPL license) and I’d gladly help anyone sharing the same goal.

Sorry, should have meant that I want to choose Nostur as my main client app for the then following reasons. Does that clarify the previous note?

It probably reads a bit confusingly outside the thought context I wrote it in. Sorry again.

Still not sure 🤣

Template Minotaur maze? The Share sheet, too many options?

This, this looks like a maze in topdown view. Minotaur tried to add a little ironic pathos.

The geometric complexity might also induce epileptic seizures, and disorient the elderly until they wander into highway traffic.

These jokes aim to lighten the mood and try to add another layer to the conversation unaffected by evident disagreement on how to draft a basic menu layout.

I see 😁 but I don't disagree, the menu is a mess. It started simple and grew over time with the idea to clean it up later and later has become very late

I just feel relieved I could explain myself. The time might indeed have gotten away with this one, this kicked the proverbial can down the road perhaps more than a 2MB block size increase at the time.

In fairness, I actually like the ID, source, post text juxtaposition idea, the ideas have valid aspects, then a blind, delirious person went and executed the layout though.

It does firsthand compete with Damus for me, I get your perspective, for myself I see things much less sophisticated. I want a public discourse network with no central authority and an approachable, simple, distraction free client.

That makes sense. I almost never see anything posted here on nostr that would get censored over on X.

I also think if you took a random group of tech savvy people and showed them the nostr architecture and didn’t tell them that the initial design motivation was related to censorship resistance and then asked them to suggest use cases that this architecture would perfect for, more often then not they wouldn’t suggest censorship resistance as a use case. They’d have a look at the architecture and the tooling built around it and then suggest other use cases entirely (many related to the business world).

And then if you asked “What about censorship resistance?” They’d say “Oh yeah I GUESS it might work for that too, but that isn't what we had in mind”.
