everything needs a sign in
i did switch that device to linux shortly after though
i was trying to do development on a macbook once, it was terrible
personally i wish there was more gamedev content on nostr
i'm not sure i understand the question entirely though
i can see it 🤔
After a month of heavy use on iOS, I’m pretty conflicted about the current state of Nostr clients.
From a product and UX perspective, three apps stand out: nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnsv9ex2ar09e6x7amw5254wh , nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxthwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mgfgmy0m and nostr:nprofile1qqszpxr0hql8whvk6xyv5hya7yxwd4snur4hu4mg5rctz2ehekkzrvcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuvtnv96zummjvun8pev3 — but in a strangely inverted way.
Widely used, well known, active on Nostr, many reviews and coverage on YouTube, its creators, nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qftzeqc and nostr:nprofile1qqsgqke57uygxl0m8elstq26c4mq2erz3dvdtgxwswwvhdh0xcs04scpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2uce8wn4m are all behind it, super nice people.
Yet:
• Direct Messages are unreliable, especially cross-client
• No built-in translation (a real adoption blocker beyond English)
• UI is functional, but not visually appealing
The opposite. Little known, few reviews, almost no coverage on YouTube, no visible developers or founder(s), only a Malaysian tech company in the background… JustHonne Technologies… with no CEO or any person behind it… Their website doesn’t link to real LinkedIn/X profiles, and YakiHonne isn’t even clearly presented as a flagship product.
And yet:
• The UI is beautiful
• Customization is deep and thoughtful
• Built-in translation works
• DM relays and content relays can be finely controlled (read vs write)
• Overall: it feels the most mature and carefully designed
Now, nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxthwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mgfgmy0m sits between these two:
There is a well known and well-respected developer behind it, nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmchdg6z6 who not at least invented zapping ❤️
It offers many settings, features, and customization options, and translation works — which is a big plus for non-English users.
However:
• The UI is not visually appealing
• The DM experience is still weak, cross-client messaging often fails here as well
So the core contradiction remains:
Why do the transparent, community-facing clients ( nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnsv9ex2ar09e6x7amw5254wh and nostr:nprofile1qqsraldwhvwcjgltmxwfu7kw8dqef2692yhzheuurd7k3kfy8cxjdqgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxthwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mgfgmy0m ) feel less refined in UX and messaging, while the most opaque one ( nostr:nprofile1qqszpxr0hql8whvk6xyv5hya7yxwd4snur4hu4mg5rctz2ehekkzrvcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9eukz6mfdphkumn99e3k7mgpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuvtnv96zummjvun8pev3 ) has the best UX, features and customisation?
Am I missing protocol constraints, historical reasons, or design trade-offs?
Genuinely asking, and with respect for every dev behind these growing gems of Nostr social — I only would like to understand this better and help development. (I do leave test and bug reports on all the three clients’ github.)
#asknostr
ios is not a freedom respecting platform, add to that the fact developers need to pay to publish their apps and follow arbitrary guidelines to get into apple's store
it's in general not a good fit for freedom tech philosophically
the apps that remain tend to be corporations who can pay (primal)
cheers to the devs that put in the effort to reach those users though
proprietary 👎
i reccomend heliboard (or thumb-key if you are feeling brave)
no i only helped someone set it up for a gaming-only system
it's one of those new immutable distros, so maybe not the best for ollama
what game has the best ost?
i'll start:

personally i love the PvZ soundtrack, portal [2] soundtrack, and minecraft soundtrack
waterui is the most promising Rust GUI framework for building truly native applications across mobile and desktop platforms without relying on custom renderers like skia,... I don't think I need to learn Kotlin or Swift anymore.
GH: https://github.com/water-rs/waterui
Page: https://waterui.dev/
love to see GUIs that aren't immediate mode
i didn't know you watched fights, usually i don't watch sports in general
please tag your notes so i [and others] can find them 💜🙏
for example, i'm only seeing this note because of the asknostr tag
it looks like notesnook is open source, so that one
personally, logseq
i think that tiktok probably promotes only large accounts?
i never used that but in yt shorts i know a lot of new videos are shown to me
bazzite is really excellent for gaming
their christmas episode is probably the greatest of all time
noooo you must submit to SaaS
give us your data and freedom
