just got a test flight update to arc (a channels focused client) which I thought was abandoned but is now called arcade. It far from ready, but does have a new skin and a couple more pages.

it looks like they are trying to do some kind of local market place (listings), and have added a kind 1 feed and post button (although the post button doesn’t work).

I still believe notes sent to channels should be a different kind. Would love to see a channels micro app that’s just focused on that.

I was gonna ask you if there was some common base you use for badges, habla, ect… would love a stripped down cleaned up version where I could just start changing kinds and tags then lay a gui on top.

I have follower on legacy media I don’t really know but they do follow back… i want to write a custom paragraph of a pitch, and have that come true and come first with little effort and on their own time, then let them explore nostr from there.

by more Grey I think I mean just less saturated?

unpopular opinion…. The blue (maybe could be more Grey) but distinctiveness is a good thing.

I think on the individual level something like this is needed… this way I can slip into someone’s DM’s and they can get to it at their own pace, instead of real time word of mouth.

yes and the production of informative resources that really try to reach the general audience so one could onboard themselves.

Currently it seems like the less technical the documentation the sooner you will run into bitcoin… the white papery like stuff doesn’t mention it in the intro or conclusion and it’s usually an aside in the last section.

I’ve only read crappy computer generated translations of the nostrchan book, but it seems to pace itself quite respectably… now a general western audience probably couldn’t wrap their minds around waifu walking them through what nostr is, but the pacing and pre-request needed seems right.

I don’t think tutorials = bad ux… but many do. Not sure the tutorials need to be apart of the ux. It’s hard line to walk balancing being generally about nostr, but also showing examples with clients that will be outdated with the rapid development. I submitted an update to the damus read me on git, but that update two weeks later was already incorrect again. I think it wasn’t accepted because tutorials = bad ux.

In that interest in nostr is geninue. Invites were a closed beta system captured by external influence. I think creating value and informative resources about the "product" is okay (considered a pull tactic). I believe they should either be high-level, catering to a broad audience (different languages), or highly individualized to avoid the distasteful targeting that occurs when a "product" tries to pull a specific group (resulting in the lowest common denominator of that group). This mistake is what led to Bluesky's captured mess. However, they are doing quite well, considering the initial plan was to be an independent custodian with Twitter as the public-facing client, which they now are trying to be both reference and a product.

Bluesky doesn't really exist yet, and its growth won't come from the same place if they successfully deliver on any of their open decentralized goals. There would be nothing to capture in that scenario. But their current “growth” doesn’t even allow Jimmy Fallon two steps into the room, and the same issue applies to most English-speaking individuals.

you want genuine early adopters for a handful of YEARS before hype beast come in. Nothing that has hype that early on has stuck in tech.

the lack of pull

waiting for apples announcement next month then will decide how I'm gonna upgrade so I can start contributing to PR’s myself again.

was using macincloud for a minute but that's managed so couldn't do funky stuff with .plist files, and was always scared logging out to not get overcharged

because I spent a lot of time yesterday snooping on the nostrchan technical book fair it happens maybe once in every 20 or so time... Once in a while iOS rate limited me... Not sure if that is connected... But it basically won't let me back out of the note (which has to be expanded to highlight) and it also fails to pass the highlight to translate

I had the built in (free) translation working for a second, but I think the test flight updates reset the config and can't seen to get that to work anymore. I'd prefer to use deepL but they require exactly same billing and home address.

using iOS’ built in highlight to translate sometime freezes damus.

the original logo already felt slender, this looks great, just think it too slender for mobile
