I click on it and can’t get it to load. Can you tell me what it is?

the most eye opening think I’ve ever experienced design-wise was adding a new note pop-up feature that always popped up at the top of your timeline when you were scrolling, that showed when new notes have arrived.

It did this on every new note in realtime. It would keep popping up over and over, this was so stressful and jarring that it made me realize I have a huge amount of power to cause stress just from small design decisions.

This made me think: there is a large landscape of possible design decisions that can greatly increase or decrease user stress.

One example in damus is that I just show a dot on the home button, but I don’t show the number of new notes. Some people will consider this less helpful, but it’s damus’ way of saying: just chill, there are new notes, don’t worry about how many.

Saving the scroll position is another subtle design choice: it enables a way for people to scroll up to see every note they missed since last session. Is this necessarily a good thing? To me this is stressful, it’s like obsessively making sure I don’t miss any note.

We will still likely add this feature, at least to notedeck/android, but it does have some stress-level difference in the way the app is used.

Something to think about. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I find it very stressful on Facebook to lose what I was reading and be jumped back to the top of the newsfeed just because a minor “crisis” in the house required my attention. X doesn’t do this to me in the two general feeds, but it does in the notification section, which is aggravating.

Not receiving posts in chronological order also stresses me out. I check my social media twice a day, so I should have an idea what friends are experiencing, but no, I’m fed posts that can be 5 or 6 days old that say, no joke here, “Please pray for our baby. Mama had her in her front pack, tripped and crushed her. We’re headed to the hospital.” Just feed me what is sent out, please. I’ve decided what I want to scroll through by my follow choices.

when they get old enough you can just get them to build the ikea furniture so you don’t have to. Investment is paying off.

They’ll start speaking incomprehensible words to you like, “I’d rather use a self-tapping screw.” What, is that like a magic-tipped one or something? Who is this, and who stole my child?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're a great gardener.

That plant really should have tried harder.

That was me. I needed to hear that!😄

I need men. Whoever doesn't need them... Send them all to me. I will take one for cooking steak, one for rubbing shoulders, one for rubbing feet... etc etc...

If your house gets crowded, call me. I can take a few off your hands. They can do all of my husband’s chores so he can pay more attention to me.

I like using readability-cli, either in combination with w3m or to nab articles for my web clippings collection. w3m is also great for later reading these downloaded articles.

Note to self: find out what w3m is and use it.

I see Damus is up and running today! Great news with all the curfuffle over Meta being out nationwide.

I came across nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's original twitter thread announcing Bluesky and I'm reminded at what a great explanation it is of what Nostr has become.

just a few hours on nostr and already hooked

the feeling of *using* freedom tech is exhilarating

we need to get more ppl on here

I’m trying to figure out how to find people I know or would like to follow. Do I have to ask my friends on other platforms if they’re here? Seems like that would get throttled on Meta’s stuff.😄

I get on and wander around trying to figure it out. I need to learn more about Bitcoin, am unconcerned about other crypto, need to know a safe wallet to use. Just ignorant af.
