looking at “popular” and it’s not just likes, nor are they either chronically presented nor presented by like count

nostr:note14yysk7yek4dexn2sxc0qytxqa9tur39ahrel765syje2qakk6fns8wamw2

what constitutes trending on primal?

it’s not zapped it’s not liked, is it both? Does it look at zap count?

I was asked about learning product design in a DM, but I feel like this might be worth sharing here for anyone to see. I also think this applies beyond product design:

“I think most product design is learned from experience - you just sort of start with web or app design, and eventually take into consideration user feedback and app’s own goals which ultimately shapes what the product looks like and how it behaves.

In terms of learning things, I don’t think there is any one right way of doing it. Some people take courses, others watch YouTube videos. Personally, I think the best way to learn is just by doing and by copying other designs.

Literally open up your favorite app and try to recreate it in Figma. Even if you know nothing about Figma, learn the basic shape tools and start making shapes / outlines of the app. Then you might want to learn how to frame object and set up auto layout - you YouTube or Google to get your answer. Just keep going on step further and further until you’ve run out of things to learn. Eventually you’ll be comfortable with the tool (doesn’t have to be Figma, but I’ve found it to be the most comfortable for me). 

Copying apps also teaches you about why they are designed a certain way. Why is the navigation here vs. there? Why are these 2 things on separate lines instead of one? Why does the feed behave this way? When you try to replicate the design you may have all of these questions which lead you to other explorations like human psychology, color theory, UX laws and all sorts of fun rabbit holes. 

If I knew absolutely nothing, I would probably try to copy / design 3 of my favorite apps and get as far as I can while learning new concepts along the way.

THEN, when you feel comfortable copying apps, you try to design one of your own with a specific purpose. Limit the scope to some simple functionality and try to design it. Don’t be afraid to cheat and look at other designs, many / most designers do this every day.”

what’s your most used / favorite / go to plugins / widgets?

edit turns into follow on all the other accounts, maybe that can be a symbol the size of the others, but it’s also reasonable to really want to highlight that as that’s mostly what one is looking for…

primals add to feed button isn’t intuitive, spelling out follow and letting that translate is probably best as it’s the main thing to do on a profile, like the main thing to do for me right now is hit post

i… don’t know.

I just make the tea, not read the leaves.

visually the ⚡︎ & ✉️ feel too close together but I can consistently tap the one I want so idk

I might be willing to part with more sats towards a client… I might split 7/3 instead of 7/1 as a default zap, not sure it needs to be a percentage

I also know from having a separate receiving and sending wallet the amounts on .bands aren’t absolutely everything, which is why I’ve omitted any display of numbers in the relative shapes, I might make one that displays both, or a dashboard for all the little visualizations I make, but I want to make something visually different and complex next

#[5]​ ‘s is interesting:

(img order, zap count / sat total)

as someone who’s a core member of the damus team he should be receiving more than he sends, because he provides immense value to damus, which is why his sat total is square.

Doesn’t currently have onlyzaps on… but his zap count reflects that principle and he still creates more zap count than he receives, whilst still stacking.

Non scientific observations between zap count and sat amount from the profiles I’ve looked at, is:

there are many who have received slightly (not double) more zap count than they send… thus rendering a polygon. but, this flips when you look at the sat amount, they actually send more total sats amount then they receive. I like sending large zaps to things truly valuable to me, balancing this would mean also sending tiny zaps instead of reactions.

I have found many square sat amount accounts (they receive at least double what they send) but haven’t come across any polygonal accounts yet (they receive more but not double what they send). If you find one please share.

This one visualizes zaps in sats instead of count

I also fixed an issue with both them where if a profile on has send or receive data it wouldn’t render anything, now it renders a shape

s/o #[0] for .band api

& #[1]​ for the zap buttons

Next step is to figure out ndk and allow you to grab your npub from nip 07 instead of copy and pasting it over

If I pay for open ai does it still “omit for brevity” when I ask it to merge and print the changes i discussed with it to the code or?
