Remove Bloat, and Optimize Code 👨‍💻👍.

Amen brutha 🙏

That's the goal 🫡

Make software not take up all of your ram

Damus isn’t running on background (or hidden) and getting constant “Damus crashed”

they are fast. 🫡🚀👀

This is a good idea

Notedeck so fast 🥹

Write everything in assembly.

Speed is a feature

Been using my dad's Windows 7 machine today which makes you wait 3 seconds before a click registers, but what do you mean, I don't see your point

So C, Rust or Zig?

I’m slowly becoming a Rust maxi the more i use it.

Write Damus in Assembly and embed it in all the things!

For the optimization wizardry no high level language can compete with.

But in developing a decentralized network, don't let speed come at the cost of censorship resistance

The current version of nostr is very held back by being so focused on speed, it doesn't even work

people are abandoning decentralization because its faster to use a caching server. Making implementations of the protocol faster makes it more decentralized.

Must be true for what you're working on, but when we get a good BitTorrent based video platform, I bet you'll want to use it even if things don't load instantly without being in a "watch later" queue or something for prior download
