Amethyst 0.13.1: Relay sets.

Now you can choose which relay is used in each feed: home, private DMs, public chats and Global feed.

Want to avoid spam? Set the global feed to paid relays only.

This is also an early version. Bugs are expected.

thank you good sir.

I can now enter the global feed. Great work #[1] !

Can see global again! Great work @Vitor 🤙

This is awesome. I have a paid relay feed now instead of a global/spam feed. Epic!

Note: when you set your relays I had to close the app and reopen for it to take effect

How do i do this? Just updated the app where click now

thats good idea

Idea to enhance the paid server user experience:

Currently users don't have a good way to know what the policies are for a particular relay. There are plenty of good reasons for relay operators to send announcements to clients or to provide notice about what services are available and to ask for payment.

The relay operator could try to send them a private message like this screenshot. Amethyst could help by automatically allowing npubs associated with a relay to bypass New Requests of the messages tab so server messages are more visible.

Further the UI could make server messages even more prominent. New users have the most difficult time due to problems with relays, thus this might even be important enough to be a pop-up.

There’s a NOTICE speced in the protocol exactly for this cases: notices from the relay to the user in user-readable format; clients could do a special display of these to separate them from DMs

Excellent improvement, thank you dude.

Im having an error un amethyst. I go to the search option and the app closes.

that's what i call a genius idea. simple and effective

Amethyst web client when? Any plans for iOS release?

No, i want to focus in a single platform. You can use snort.social for web and damus.io for iOS.

It's very useful

Argh my relay list is now empty but I can see 17/19 relays connected.

Amethyst is still functioning.

I'll wait for the next release & if it doesn't fix it, I'll reload my profile or uninstall/reinstall.

Did you delete it in the app or externally?

I've done nothing yet.

Prior to the release, I turned off the down settings on about 5 relays. I'm not sure if that has caused it to mess with the new release.

Just deleted the app & reinstalled.

I was surprised to see all my relays return after logging in

Looking at the new functionality now 👍

plug in USB-C 😆

git pull

./gradlew installDebug

That totally works. Global feed is only showing the paid relays I kept connected.

Could we please have a confirmation step for boosting? Currently it's too easy to hit it by accident and it's impossible to unboost.

If you report a note as spam Amethyst makes it disappear and it instead says it was "flagged as inappropriate". The trouble is the UI has no option to view the unhide the post after you've done that which is often desired for reasons like an investigation.

Your lighting adress for tips does not work for me...

Awesome sir

can it be blocked with relay by firewall?

Dude pls let me choose which languages to translate and which not to. My phone is not set to english and now the app provides a poor translation of all english posts in the language of my phone, which i dont want.

For now, just add English to your languages in the phone. Settings/System/languages and input/. The app doesn't translate the languages you speak. You just need to add it there. More options are coming.

Amethyst are for Chinese...

Why do we have to go to Github?Only smart people like knows how it works....how about the average people who knows nothing about github?

Clicking on this github link to the apk file on Android should start the download. At most you should need to say "upgrade" and that is it?

It's also in the Playstore, you might just not always have the latest version there.

Install this (scroll to bottom of the page and select releases) for easy access and updates to open source apps https://github.com/Iamlooker/Droid-ify

Why is the apk size suddenly so big? From 20 > 80 mb

AI models for QR scanning, language identification and auto-translation.

Will these models work on degoogled phones? More generally if there are Google services can they perhaps be made opt-outable?

Some kind of bug introduced. In the top right corner I have 19/19, but when I click there, it opens an empty relay list.

After I upgraded, all but one relays were gone and hardly any data was visible. I did not add any relays back manually, I waited instead. After 15 minutes or so I checked and my relays had re-appeared and data started to sync and come back.

Oh what a great change

What a difference! Great job! Thanks

Every post gets auto-translated by default now 💀

How can I change that?

Just add English or the languages you don't want to translate to your system languages on Android. Settings/system/language. The app doesn't translate from languages you speak
