Here we go... Amethyst v0.9.6 with Post View Counts. I am sure you are going to let me know your feelings about this.

Starting to look a lot like Twitter
Is this good or bad? :)
Depends on your objective, I'd say. I tried Amethyst a few days ago but it still lacked much. Installing it again.
Let me know what it lacks :)
Maybe not loading followercount until requested by user? I think damus also does this
Not liking the thread view, tbh.
Wanted to try out the boosting but boosted wrong post. Clicked on it again and ended up boosting more times. Also, I boosted a comment and my profile shows that I boosted the whole thread.
Good, while I hope other apps will be created on nostr as well. Like reddit stuff ect, for a twitter alternative this is extremely good
Reddit could never function with #nostr. Reddit's model is to have a lot of different and separated sub-reddits, something that goes against the nature of #nostr.
Why not, each relay having its own subreddit could work right?
Relays are dumb, they just forward notes along. There could be a relay that just forwards notes of a certain nature, making it kinda a sub-reddit, but the notes it forwards would eventually reach another relay, and everyone would see the note in question. There's no way (at least in my view, for now) to contain a note in the widespread #nostr network.
How does it work?
The number itself on the screen is an extra image from https://counter.amethyst.social/{ID_HEX}.svg.
Loads once per user / per reload of the app.
I don't mind post view counts. It'd a nice metric for people that like data.
- great look and feel! Fast!
- can't see original post while answering is annoying
- I can't click on "Setting" when swiping from the left of the screen
- can't find any LN integrations. Is there an option for tipping as in astral.ninja for example?
so many feels
