Ideally the Play Store, but Google has just rejected our update asking for Terms and Conditions to be added.

The fastest way to get updates is to look for new APKs in the GitHub's release link.

👏 Normalize 👏 decentralized 👏 APK 👏 distribution 🙌

Hey #[0] , on https://help.nostrplebs.com/hc/nostrplebs/en/misc/9 you have an old relay. According to #[1] :

Remove wss://nostr-relay.wlvs.space

And add wss://eden.nostr.land

Great so far! Here's hopefully actionable feedback:

- The "pull down to load" animation is missing the phase when it confirms

- For some reason the posts flicker for a while after opening the app (my guess some background process in the app causes that)

- I'm missing Global view :)

- When opening someones profile and then scrolling the posts, the top section should collapse automatically

- In thread UIs I'd suggest there's margin on the left of the thread-lines (on phones like Pixel 7 Pro that have the curved display it's hard to see the thread-lines)

- when you scroll past posts that are still loading images, then your view jumps as they finish loading. That should be prevented.

- The app just crashed for unknown reason :)

- The button top right does nothing, the Amethist logo top middle does nothing

- It would be good to show my LN address and NIP-05 domain on the profile page?

- When I scroll deep down in the Follows, there should be a way for me to get on top of the list again (and ideally highlight that there are new posts). Tapping on "Follows" is what I would expect to work.

I laughed that the pulldown animation is your first one. I really love Amethyst, it's my go-to mobile client, but not having that satisfying moment where the refresh-spinner clicks into place is to the app's detriment. Or maybe I just realized I habitually refresh for the hope of a dopamine hit, like a coked up lab-rat. 😐

Do you need different relay lists in different apps with the same key? Is there any difference between Web/Mobile for relay lists?

This is where relay list groups will come in handy (which I'm implementing in my run at NIP-23). Choose a group for mobile and a group for desktop, a group for shit posting and one for dev talk. Users will be able to switch between groups and not have their NSFW Dune memes spill over onto the timelines of Nostr devs.

Amethyst by #[1] is early in development but coming along nicely!

Looks great so far, so much faster than browser clients ❤️. I'm sure it will become my main driver as dev continues!

Will do! I am mostly wasting my time with Android's Jetpack bugs right now.... 🙄

No rush, I just think it's going to become an important feature. The client looks great, btw, and I dig the boost layout! 🤙

5 days in, Amethyst Native Nostr App for Android is shaping up:

Hey Vitor, remember to include support for NIP-12! Allow the user to configure a filter for relays!

#[0] Hey, I'm developing a proof-of-concept for a service on Nostr (not a client), and gauging interest from client developers. Do you plan on implementing NIP-12 on Iris? Perhaps allowing users to set a filter for a relay?

What are some of those micro utilities? I am having trouble imagining more than the basics
