Damned, why is the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg Android app that far behind the iOS app?

I have played around with the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg web app and the Android app (v0.15.2), but neither supports creating a new account, is that right?

The web app requires a browser plugin providing the key and and although the Android app shows "Create account" on the start screen, that button doesn't work, only "Sign in".

That's unfortunate, because a nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg NIP-05 address and direct link to my profile would have been nice. Or is there any other way?

Probably a bunch of reasons, including a smaller team, more focus on the UI design, and that they’re building desktop and mobile apps side-by-side. I don’t want to speak for nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr or nostr:npub1j7uc37l5lzyqfyley4c3ux7cqeshk5y060fgxy3gs5r7gtu2xd5qyc8lvw though, but I’d love to see them share a roadmap and development timeline.

Just too bad that they prefer iOS over Android, with the latter clearly being the lesser evel (I use an ungoogled custom ROM).

Hey Michael, apologies for the delay. Both our web app and our Android app are about to be updated (within 1-2 weeks) with new features that include onboarding new users.

In the meantime, we'd be happy to setup a NIP-05 address for you; just let us know your preferred username and we'll get it going for you.
