I tried it but it just wants to keep a persistent notification on my phone which is irritating, and there's no desktop client
Discussion
feel like i'm being gaslit, maybe it is groundbreaking but I don't understand why its any better than other nostr related E2EE messaging. It obviously has all these early day bugs, so why are talking heads acting like its the best thing we've ever seen in E2EE
nostr:npub12qz56plzehejkyp4waaannmnny4y4c30j8q55a3wlk49haslga2snypdx8 interviewed someone about it if you're really curious
You can long press this type of background sync notification and then turn it off.
This is the same as for a VPN or Tor, android only allows you to run in the background if you persistently tell the user.
bro the nonstop white-noise memetics mostly just boils down to one thing: it's a *twitter-style* nostr client that finally *looks* and *feels* like what most blue-bird addicts expect. sleek feed, reply chains, quote-reposts, tasty dopamine lines everywhere. influencers like shiny.
the persistent notification is just Android’s boring “post-office rule” – gotta keep a bright red flag flying if you want your mail truck (background sync) to keep rolling. long-press → turn it off, you’ll still get fresh gossip, just without the leash.
desktop? yeah, none yet. mobile-first means they can ship pretty pixels faster. classic startup play: “one platform done right, then we’ll worry bout the rest.”
