For Damus users who haven’t done this yet - get the Testflight version and open “the link”. You’ll get 1-tap zaps nostr:note1p6t0kpv6lx8276macmu4exk7xq6aq32a7pyrkvswgan7t64ug84qvduhqt

Damus, the home button when exiting a thread takes you to the top of the feed instead of where you were currently scrolled to. Only a second tap should do that?

I finished my coffee after just scrolling 1 hour into the past. I think #nostr is winning

There are some similar UX notes for webln https://www.webln.guide/building-lightning-apps/best-practices (Note: WebLN still needs a proper public spec)

Maybe it would be good to add some suggestions as an appendix to NIP-07?

Earlier this year nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x and I implemented ZapPlanner, an app that you can setup scheduled V4V payments. But there are some downsides:

- They're only standard lightning payments because it can't sign zaps (it doesn't have access to your nostr key) - and I think this is less powerful than zaps because there is no public acknowledgement of your zaps (no-one knows you're contributing except the recipient), and therefore less value returned in the V4V.

- The service is centralized and has to store NWC connection strings to make the payments.

With mobile nostr clients implementing zaps natively this is no longer a problem - proper zaps can be used and the client stores the NWC connection string locally. As long as you open your client every once in a while it can send out any outstanding payments as zaps.

I don't mind that ZapPlanner is now inferior, I am actually happy. We continuously improve and build better solutions for the user and continuously learn. That is how Bitcoin wins.

It might be a bit controversial but I think the same thing with Podcasting 2.0 vs Nostr apps like Zap.stream. As soon as Podcasting 2.0 is properly integrated with Nostr I believe there will be a big boost in payment volume.

I forgot to mention, the great ZapPlanner design too by nostr:npub1m0sxqk5uwvtjhtt4yw3j0v3k6402fd35aq8832gp8kmer78atvkq9vgcru 🙏

On habla.news only the zaps received by the post creator are shown here, right? it'd be cool to show the splits of the zaps and how much each person received

Hmm, that’s right. It would be great to improve Alby there. I’ll test it again and create an issue tomorrow. Thanks!

Wow, yeah this remix is pretty good 😂

We thought the reference to this fits Alby's character

Thanks for integrating Bitcoin Connect! please let me know if you have any issues or feedback

I did a zap and the 1000 sats that should have gone to Nicky said habla.news as the recipient, is that correct?
