Thought the same thing!
I remember them acknowledging, possibly in one of the Gruber WWDC talks, that they have some architectural baggage from the iOS versions before the SDK and App Store, that make it difficult to do that. I assume they have simply found the effort required too disproportionate to the effect so far.
They have ‘static Lightning invoices’ with BOLT 12 on their roadmap, see the last paragraph of https://acinq.co/blog/phoenix-splicing-update
This effect always reminds me of a song line by JBM,
“Don′t these kids
Get a right to their lives
Without having to sell it?”
Thanks for sharing this, I loved seeing a first hand account of visiting the country at the present time.
Agreed, DMs over the Nostr network looked practical to me so far, just underdeveloped. Does Simplex have some notable differentiators on the code architecture level?
I built this with nostr:npub1jutptdc2m8kgjmudtws095qk2tcale0eemvp4j2xnjnl4nh6669slrf04x in prague we just need to polish and release it
Ah, I thought you only meant the profile page relay lists at first, sounds excellent, looking forward to this getting release ready.
I still think, as more people might start running relays, relay selection dependent feeds could become much more interesting.
I would find it helpful to have an algorithmically generated relay suggestion list based on followed profiles though, instead of manually looking them up on individual profile pages.
I mainly visit profile pages to check out timeline content, and forget to look at the relay section.
Get well soon, go easy on using your voice.

Tricky with the current temperatures. Also, steel concrete and asphalt really create the most unpleasant heat distributions.
If I understand nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m correctly, they have struggled for a long time. The current leadership just saves resources only spent on maintaining optics.
I find this video of a 1957 conversation between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mike Wallace pretty instructive in regard to thinking about building. It even addresses decentralization.
Frankly that seemed a bit predictable, and, leaving aside the validity of the underlying rule, understandable. The current implementation seems somewhat like a charade, as much as it fits the bureaucratic mindset apparent in these rules.
I see no way they can avoid supporting open app install access much longer, I wonder more if it will get them to relax their store guidelines to keep apps on the App Store. They should if they truly cared about user safety.
