Nostr Web Client

We expected this to launch this yesterday but it has been rejected 3 times for absolutely no reason 🤦‍♂️

I don’t know how you can do development on this platform without absolutely dispising the company after a few attempts to deploy your code.

happy that we are free from apple so we can start innovating with freedom tech again.

can’t build new freedom tech in a jailed ecosystem that doesn’t want its users to be free, so that they can treat you like cattle to milk that 30% tax on all your in app transactions. Not the mention all of the horrific transaction privacy issues that arises from this.

sad what this company has become. nostr:note1r44yhhxggxefghre4rl7pjkydrxfcxdhwxhwu7kky2hs2s5y2ywqyfqxfv

It’s a sinking ship, but a damn convenient ship that is sinking

Paul Sernine 11mo ago

Unfortunately, you‘re perfectly right. Probably like the Titanic… Quite the challenge to build a competitive platform which is at least as convenient.

It's like the Titanic sinking in a kiddie pool.

AppStore controls are one of the biggest restrictions on free speech on the internet and somehow we don’t acknowledge it. The reason it’s such a big point of control is that competing with the duopoly is nearly impossible. It’s market capture.

It's restricted AF

Well when people mention that using Android is better everyone loses their minds and makes it into some weird thing

jb55 11mo ago

I still prefer an iphone. I just can’t use it to release the software I want to release which is sad and frustrating.

PixelBob 11mo ago

Can you still jailbreak latest iOS? Would that enable you to build/install custom apps without permission?

jb55 11mo ago

You can but its super technical and noone will do it

guy 11mo ago

Especially at the price point they sell them for! I am a hater of all things apple :) my go-to statement is: they make beautiful hardware, but some of the worst software I have ever encountered. Also, the fact that the amount of blatant security vulnerabilities they have had with their walled garden approach and small hardware footprint is laughable. Okay.... End rant sorry 😄

More recently, the only thing I'm hearing iPhone users say they don't like about android is that it doesn't have imessage or whatever it is called. I think Apple makes raw SMS/android messages a different color that users don't like. Marketing genius. They make the user feel like an inside crowd.

aidan 11mo ago

Is the rejection due to some perceived free speech issue?

More often with apps that include things like zaps, it’s confusion around payment rules on one side or the other.

moonmechanic 11mo ago

That’s often a useful excuse.

Sourcenode 11mo ago

This is the primary reason I don't use Apple products

ede3d957... 11mo ago

How is it restricting? I haven't used one of the two mentioned app stores in 10 years.

It's the public that is kept dumb and lazy that is the problem.

The power of the web and PWA in there to save us all, always have web clients

Uno 11mo ago

If Damus was on Android you could just drop an apk link or put it in Zap Store 😉

atyh 11mo ago

me too.

they had the world in their hands and lost it over petty greed.

its a bummer.

moving on...

Skipper 11mo ago

LEAVE APPLE FOR GOOD. YOU DON'T NEED IPHONES. ANDROID DOES EVERYTHING, AND MORE.

jb55 11mo ago

I use linux, macos, iphone, android all for different purposes. Just not windows anyone…

Sleventy3 11mo ago

What reasons do you use iOS for

jb55 11mo ago

I like apples hardware and focus on privacy. Their app sandboxing is great and i feel comfortable putting my nsec in damus

AU9913 11mo ago

Are supply chain attacks possible in that ecosystem though?

jb55 11mo ago

from what I understand the OS verifies the developer signature but I don't know the exact mechanisms

Paul 11mo ago

They are going to come after the Nostr apps as soon as enough truth gets told. I guarantee it. They did the same to Gab. I hope anyone who is building Nostr clients is prioritizing web app versions.

Trey Walsh 11mo ago

Ok explain for a dumb dumb like me. You’re able to do whatever you want sort of for TestFlight, but not for App Store release?

jb55 11mo ago

yeah their reviews are less strict on testflight and new builds don't require new reviews, only major/minor versions.

Horszt 11mo ago

Do they take less percentage of your income inside the app?

Korhag 11mo ago

What is this part referring to? You deployed damus web or something?

> “happy that we are free from apple so we can start innovating with freedom tech again.”

jb55 11mo ago

our notedeck platform works everywhere (eventually android) so we can do whatever we want

Korhag 11mo ago

I don’t even know what “notedeck” is but thanks for answering anyway 🫡 :)

Alejandro 11mo ago

Now imagine what happens when Google starts deprioritizing Android and Apple becomes the only active large player in place.

On one side, this is bad, but it might open the window for a new second player like a foss mobile OS with sufficient backing.

It's literally The Matrix. When you point out everyone is in a prison they can't see or smell, most don't even want to know, much less get out. Some will actually fight you.
