Leverage creates a multiplication factor to your gains... But also losses.

It's when you want to make "quick money".

With $100 risk capital, if your gain is 3% in a day you gained $3... but if you had 100x leverage you suddenly gained $300 from that $100 capital.

The bad part is that any losses are also multiplied. So if market goes down 1% you lost $1 but due to 100x leverage you lost $100.

Desktop Apps should not share the same UI as Web Pages, which should not share the same UI as Mobile Apps. With Kotlin Multiplatform for Web now stable, this is clearer than ever. Your background and some components can be the same between them, but the UI should be vastly different.

For instance, Desktop apps are mini window managers by design and tend to use multiple layouts to display lots of information and actions at the same time because monitors are so large and the mouse is so precise. They use a large amount of dialogs and popups, and generally have tabs inside of them for different things loaded at the same time. Memory, CPU, and disk usage are virtually unlimited. Notifications don't really exist, and you need to develop your own update warning system. Users are in the mindset that the app is theirs to own and organize, which leads to long-term thinking.

On the web, there are no windows. Dialogs are terrible, and any internal tabs should use the browser's own tabbing system. Routes must be addressable with readable links that the user can see (which is not a thing in the Desktop or mobile). Bottom navigation is in conflict with the browser's own navigation buttons, and everything is just one pull away from a full restart. Somewhat unlimited memory, but CPU, IO, and disk are severely constrained by the browser. Users are in the mindset that they are renting the app while they are there; they are in somebody else's house, which leads to short-term thinking.

On mobile, everything is very large. Buttons are big, and space is extremely limited. Some popups work, others don't. Tabs don't exist (even though many phones try to make it happen). Something that is just a click away on the Desktop is 3 clicks down on mobile. Navigation requires links, but the user never sees them. Memory is hard-capped at 512MB per app, background processes generally don't work, and the OS may decide to kill half of your stuff at any moment. Around the globe, phones cannot be trusted and are generally treated as a disposable asset, like your app.

Devs that try to optimize for all 3 of them at the same time end up just making the lowest common denominator, and users suffer with massive delays and lack of care.

"write once, adapt everywhere"

The only way not to lose a user's private data via a hack is by not having the private data in the first place. There's no other way.

Do you have the same problem? What version are you on and can you provide example of image that doesn't work? πŸ«‚

It may feel like that when you see the high connection number but I haven't seen any dedicated testing to confirm this.

For me screen time eats the most battery irrespective of which app was used the most.

Amethyst is using (on device) Google service for translations.

Sometimes the service cannot detect the language.

Especially if post starts with links or markdown.

#Amethyst v1.00.0: Full Outbox

This version completes our migration to the outbox model, where the app dynamically manages the relay list used to pull posts from your follows' own relay lists. By default, the app will connect to relays that aren't in your lists through our embedded Tor. Normal usage will connect to hundreds of relays. Many of them will fail, and that's ok. Nostr has baked-in redundancy; these failures won't affect your experience.

New relay lists were added to the UI to help you manage how the app works. Specifically, you can now block relays and add trusted relays. Trusted relays will connect outside of Tor, which is faster, but allows those relays to see your IP. You should only add relays there if you trust the relay operator. Proxy relays (like filter.nostr.wine) can be added to the proxy list. After that, the app will only use those relays to download the content for your feeds, disabling the outbox model. DMs and other non-outbox functionality will still use their own relays. Broadcasting relays can be added to push your events out there. Every new event from the app will be sent to all broadcasting relays. Finally, the new Indexer list allows you to choose which relays to use to find users, like purplepages.es.

For users of our Quartz library, we have finished all of the work to change the library's mindset from a fixed list to a dynamic pool of relays. Now, each NIP has its own dedicated folder and defines its own tags and caching structures. This expansion allows us to add diverse functionalities such as relay clients, relay servers, event builders, Nostr filter builders, caching systems, deletion and event hint indexers, helper functions, and moreβ€”all specifically tailored to each individual NIP. This modular approach creates the space to develop each NIP independently and integrate them into Amethyst as distinct modules, while still sharing Amethyst's main relay and cache engine when necessary. We expect fewer breaking changes as we move forward with it. At some point, Quartz will move to its own repository and be converted to a Kotlin Multiplatform project for each NIP/module. This will allow us to build demo/testing applications for each NIP in the same repo.
