Clients are an interesting thing. I run quite a few, and I've noticed some patterns.

* Damus seems to run the cleanest, but I'm on a M1 iPad so maybe not a fair comparison.

* Amethyst feels best when talking to international friends because the on-device translation works really fast on a Pixel.

* Iris is the most consistent experience on the web for me, at least in terms of loading the same messages I saw on my other clients, and loading pfps, and quoted notes, etc.

* Snort is my favorite UI (and I'm a paying supporter, because I love the work Kieran is doing) but struggles to resolve pet names, etc on my computer.

* Gossip tends to just randomly miss stuff regardless of how many relays I allow, even if I'm following someone, but it's a beast and runs quiet.

I've noticed native clients tend towards reproducible timelines vs web kinda being hit or miss. I've noticed web clients make my Ryzen 5800X with 32GB of RAM wanna cry.

These are all personal experiences and not reflective of overall user experience.

Honestly, I feel like I'm not sure I'm even getting the entire Nostr experience unless I'm switching between at least three clients, so yes, try lots of clients! ♥️
