Is filtering notifications by location (those around you... say +/-50 miles) something interesting or not?
I don't know if I can find a good use case for it.
Send me your ideas

Yes if I get to opt in or out of it. Kinda like how some clients now show what clients others are using if you want to.
Yes, please do it
Yik yak was relevant for my freshman year of college and it was great.
Could talk shit about the college anonymously, tease other dorms, talk about upcoming events.
No idea why they self immolated tbh
I remember that one!
No, should be optional at least
Pizza delivery app
This requires to share my exact location, but I don't want it. Sorry, but it will useless for me
You don't need to share your location, you can just filter by it. That information doesn't go anywhere. And all relays already know where you are located if you are not using Tor or a VPN, so..
Thanks for the info, in this case it would be very useful (but the truth is that I frequently use VPN, and as I remember your Amethyst app supports ToR :-) ).
Talvez fosse possível usar para compra e venda de produtos, mas, realmente, acho que ainda não temos volume para isso.
on second thought tho.. let the chaos reign with tor 😂😂
I think you would have to add phone location to the post intentionally. It would be heavily opt in.
It would be good, but I don't think there are any other Hungarian Nostr users so close to me :-(
I see a use cases for reviews of local services, local or regional meetups, festivals, tourist attractions, cheeper gas prices finder 😄. There are many use cases actually.
It would be useful for those who have no issues sharing their location.
Why don't start with more basic stuff like a client-based simple notification whenever you get a new 'follower/contact' on your noub? There should be a technical solution or a shortcut to this issue. It would really increase the engagement and reciprocal connection among the npubs
That will never be solved. Nostr is not consistent by design. Whatever number comes back is only a number of the subs that are visible to you and the relays you are using at any given moment.
It's impossible to know how many followers you have.
Thanks for the explanation. It's a real pity though..
Basically the only way to be sure the npub you follow knows it is to GM him in the DM. Am I right? If so, why not developing a path on the client side to give this optionality every time you click the 'follow' button?
I personally don't like to be located. So it should be optional.
And it has reminded me again to activate my VPN.
Datingapp
this could perhaps be used to make an app that resembles those facebook clone 'community'/'neighbourhood' bulletin boards
How about a decentralized ride-sharing app, like Uber but over Nostr? Filtering notifications by location would be critical for that.
Another idea is to have relays that congregate around local communities, that is, they accept only posts from people that verify their location at least once.
Ephemeral location filtering seems like it matches only with dating apps usage…
Would be useful for local marketplace listings.
If the question involves Amethyst, I don't think it should be a priority at all. Maybe as a standalone app for a different purpose. I'd much rather more support for DMs and group DMs with a NIP 17 standard across the board. Then I could use Amethyst for DMs without having to use 0xChat for groups. 🙂🙏🏻
Heard about https://jodel.com/en/ ?
Could be used for a separate app apart from amethyst. Something doesn't sit right being notification tracked.
