Why do people keep using Amethyst?

Because it works. (most of the time)

That's it. That's the "secret".

No, not really. If I use the play store version on both the live and the beta it somehow crashes within seconds. No clue why, fdroid versions work well for me. I also don't get ntfy notifications but that may be on ntfy's side.

Meanwhile theres a ton of them that just work. So on the its working front you have a lot of competition.

The reason I use your app is because it haa value over the others I can use. Its not tied to a specific server and it has a bit of everything within it which I really like.

So for me its you having more features than the rest, not stability.

You wouldn't use it if it didn't work for you. You can only see features because the app is stable enough.

Looking forward to seeing if the new version fixes the crashes you where having in the play version.

I run that full outbox build at the moment from a few days ago. That didn't have it fixed yet. So if you fixed that the fix would be very new. I'd get you something usable as far as debug goes if I knew how.

I do have a new bug on the one I am on which is that if I sent a message I see it twice. One I sent and one draft. They don't cancel each other out for a bit. Eventually the draft does seem to dissapear.

But what I mean is that something like ditto.pub is very stable for me to use, works well on my browser in android and thats been the one still sending me notifications. I could use that one for the same reason that it just works. But i'm willing to put up with the lack of notifications (i still really think thats ntfy, I dont get them from element either) and the play store build not working as I don't intend to use the play store build. And thats because your app has so many cool parts of the ecosystem implemented.

If you were to feature cut it to the essentials that most apps do for the sake of stability i'd switch to an app that has features i'd then miss or use the old build.

So for me its not stability, its versitility.
