This sounds great!

How fast do the versions appear on Google Play?

Great update! Will check it out ⚡🥳

Didn't read but downloaded right away and zapped.🧡

Really good work!

- I like the fact that you did not go the way of some other clients that deleted global by only allowing to show payrelay content. I think global feed stays more interesting and vibrant if we can also show free relay content, and keep spam out by filtering. Free and relentless global is the lifeline of nostr.

Your approach made me to change my main client form snort to amethyst

- Question about zaps. I would like to change the zap value from the pre-set 1k sats - it feels a lot to be throwing around as a replacement of "like", but too small for some quality content. Possibility to adjust the setting would be nice.

We need this badly

TK 2y ago

Performance is significantly improved. Thanks!

utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 2y ago

My profile picture in the sidebar and viewing my own profile don't load now, but it does in the timeline view? 🤔

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

Check if you are blocked in the security filter. Maybe I went too hard in duplicates.

utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 2y ago

Nope

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

Hum... Is it just the picture or picture + posts?

utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 2y ago

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

Ohhh that's probably something in the image proxy :( it will show up eventually. :(

Alex 2y ago

Not only utxo, I see lots of other profiles in my timeline with red robot avatar.

utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 2y ago

Same

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

With the new version, the local cache is deleted and the app needs to download all images again from the server. When everybody does that at the same time, the server is not fast enough to reply and the app stores a 404 error code to try later. 🫤

d0enakalle🐇⚡ 2y ago

I can't see utxo's profile pic on snort at all...

Cosanostra 2y ago

You devs are working on "followers count" and improve this weird thing and forget to improve user-side to empower users. The follower count is and oldie marketing trick adopted by twitter we are moving away from twitter. thanks.

Cosanostra 2y ago

by the way nostr protocol itself doesn't include anything about "followers" instead of "petanames" witch is more human and has more sense. to know who you are following and not making calculations (fucking my cpu) to know how many stupids are following @jack we know everybody is following him. thanks and great job!

Hm, the version 0.17.0 from github keeps crashing on me the way 0.16.2 from Google Play did not. Installed the Google Play version back.

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

If you are moving back and forth, you have to delete the local storage. Otherwise the app will crash because it doesn't recognize the signature that was there.

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

Back and forth between APK and PlayStore

Stupid Unicorn 2y ago

How do I delete the local storage?

The (new version of the) app did ask for the private key.

Dan 2y ago

Android settings > apps > select amethyst > storage > clear data

Exact path could be different depending on your version of Android...

Dan 2y ago

It's recommended to just stick with either using the playstore version, or sticking with the APK sideloaded version. Otherwise you have to clear data and/or completely uninstall every time you switch.

Amazing improvements in performance!

Previously, opening an account with a history almost guaranteed to slow the app to a crawl, now it's much better!

Thanks! 💜⚡

jonbyrnebtc 2y ago

I wand to download from Play Store in Australia however it requires an id check aka KYC from Google that I am over 18 -WTF 🤔

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

You can always use the APK. All content is permitted in Nostr, which means that this app must be an over 18 app.

jonbyrnebtc 2y ago

Whats the APK please

Providing ID checks kinda deletes the appeal of Nostr and no other clients require this as far as I know?

Dan 2y ago

Just to clarify, amethyst is not doing a kyc check. The Google play store is. Amethyst/nostr don't care who you are. That is google abiding by your local laws.

The APK release is downloadable from the GitHub repo and can be sideloaded. Like most Android apps, you don't have to install through Google play (a benefit of Android).

jonbyrnebtc 2y ago

Thank you

Os there another option than APK Mirror as also requires a credit card to verify my account?

Dan 2y ago

Yes, you can get it directly from GitHub. I linked the download page above

jonbyrnebtc 2y ago

I have downloaded but wont open on my Android as asking me what app to open it with - any ideas here please?

Dan 2y ago

Did you download the .apk or .aab?

jonbyrnebtc 2y ago

Ok cool

I downloaded on APK and it works

I never knew this was possible on Android so really cool to learn this skill 🧘🥷❤

Dan 2y ago

Nice! 👏

nobody 2y ago

Working way smoother for me overall 🤙

Looking forward to trying this more. I'm not sure if it is that my phone is older or what, but 0.16.2 would often hang and pop the non-responsive app warning.
