Since lots of people have been asking me... here it goes.

> What is the origin of the name Amethyst?

The name is a tribute to the human experience in Nostr. Amethysts get their purple color from impurities on an otherwise well-structured, and thus transparent, quartz. In Nostr, humans are the impurities that give life to an otherwise rigid and boring protocol.

> What is especially making you be fascinated & interested in developing Amethyst on Nostr?

The chance of piggybacking in each other's network effects to integrate all forms of applications in a single user profile. Nostr is our best chance to get a Twitter app to send an Instagram post, a Slack app to send a TikTok, a Google Doc app to write to a Music player, a Twitch app to send an Email, and a Tinder app to get a prescription notification from your doctor. They will be all facets of the same app.

> What's your vision for the future?

Amethyst will be the cornerstone of the Nostr experience in Android. Our goal is to support all other Nostr applications through our own interfaces. A meeting place for all types of Nostr events. A way to integrate them all while empowering each of them to push their own user experiences forward

Love the context and it makes seeing that beautiful purple of the app that much cooler

Y'a-il ou y aura-t-il un guide afin' de s'y retrouver plus aisรฉment ? Ni insta face ou Tik Tok n'ont d'iintรฉret pour moi un outil type Flikr pourquoi pas !?

agree except there should be at least several different decent competing (which is a good thing!) clients on all platforms including Android. Amethyst definitely rocks though!

The last goal is too large to realize in a single application. Besides social apps, there will be many other kinds of applications.

I will try anyway.

If the last point is your goal please focus on scroll lag and app experience. Extremely annoying.

Sounds great! Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š. Let's be #purple #af #nostr
