Nah, custom needs to be more accessable IMO, almost as easy as 1 click, & in the same spot. A long tap or sonething.

Desktop doesn't have a long tap, and it needs to work on both.
You know. That’s a good point.
Damus does this and I think initially there was some confusion on that. Not sure what consensus is on it now.
I mean I know that I need to do it this way and have no problem with it.
How would that work on desktop?
For some reason I’m not sure what the analog of a long press on desktop is. Right click?
On amethyst you can enter custom amounts & save them as buttons to click when you tap the zap button. That works fine & while I was going to say you could eliminate the extra tap it is worth noting that it probably prevents accidental zaps. Sending money is more costly than an accidental like. But if I have to type a custom amount I don't need to make it a button. So if the choice of fixed amount or a custom box appeared & you just either go with fixed or type & send then you could just have that show with a single tap or click.
I hadn't thought of the accidental zap thing.
It makes me doubt now that it really is a good idea...
After all 2 clicks isn't that hard, except for zapathons of course!! 😅
Unless you approach it the way I approach emails!
I.e. I set a delay for sending out my emails to 30 seconds so I have time to “rethink words”.
This could be 5 seconds of timeout, that allows you to undo.
I’m probably overengineering this. I admit automatic zaps makes me a tiny bit uneasy and my fat fingers have accidentally zapped (which was stopped with the wallet selection dialog in Damus).
I also think a few people have done the same when I see generated and unfulfilled invoices on my wallet from part 1 of the zap process.
I guess maybe that doesn't matter (at least the way I've been using amethyst) now that I think about it... I still have to hit send when it opens my wallet.
That's either because your wallet doesn't support sending zaps without confirming or you haven't configured it.
I just learned about all this today myself 😅
Butt idk if there's a wallet on Android that allows that...
NostrGram already has custom zap amounts so that functionality is already in place. For people worried about accidental zaps they don't have to enable the one click zap.
