iOS is a ramp to 1.3 billion people.

Shouldn’t sniff at that.

nostr should have a substantial presence on iOS app store with many implementations of the protocol.

It’s up to Damus how they spend their development time. But I hope they keep a presence on iOS rather than get rugged by Apple.

Progressive Web Apps allow more developer freedom than native iOS apps, but compromise on some of the functionality of a native app.

It’s a difficult choice and not fun being blindsided so abruptly.

Don't need to fall back on PWA when you can sideload the app without jailbreak

Very developer centric thinking. Normal people will not jump hoops to do that.

Normal people found ways to use shitty electrum wallet to hold a "eCash" currency though 😏

It's easy enough if you follow a guide, but of course pales in comparison to a one-click install from an app store

Yeah, I would crudely estimate that the addressable markets are as follows…

iOS…….1,300 million

PWA……….80 million

Jailbreak…..8 million

Other views welcome.

I keep saying the same thing, ecosystems need ramps!

Damus on iOS is an amazing beachhead for nostr. I like using Damus. Damus is the biggest property on the protocol.

I like PWA’s because they’re more OS agnostic, they’re just clunky to access from iOS. But iOS supports service workers now.
