Hey #[1], first off thanks… seriously. This ain’t easy, and you are fighting a good fight.
The nostr protocol isn’t the #[2] protocol… a (skewered) version of reading this response seems like Apple is regulating a protocol that it assumes Damus is orchestrating versus implementing. Like I said, skewered reading…
…this feels like,e a reversion to the old is the easiest solution to stay on iOS. And while I know it’s not the solution you want… it’s a skewered one (to take my prev use of the word).
You (and your team, and most folks supporting) have illustrated why iOS is preferred by many. Polish of the interface makes folks want to pay for more of it … you just so happened to make nostr viable by paying attention to the customer experience many devs/apps don’t or can’t.
I hope the other nostr apps are polishing their wares. Folks won’t move to them for long from Damus because of the experience you keep polishing. You are proving why Apple’s UI focus matters. And in this case, it’s proving how other platforms can/should provoke Apple to think differently than how they do regarding control and use.
Removing the ability to call a wallet (other app) that does a zap as you had in the initial release didn’t seem to be an issue 🤔💭
As much as I’d personally hate to see #[4] away from the iOS/iPadOS side of things, a revert to that initial/prior state seems to be the route.
The other part here, what I don’t think is coming thru Apple’s notes to you, is that Apple has conflict of regulation with both being a storehouse of value itself and managing apps which pass value… the solution will not be a dissolution of the iOS AppStore as much as it will be something closer to the older-method of harsh curated app collections… AppClips on iOS points to this
Family moves are happening. Well, all but me for a change. This is good. Growth and blessings should be had by all.
A few hours of rest before tackling the groundwork I’m responsible for. This too is growth and blessings

Love them. Absolutely love them.
If you ever make it to Finland though, you’ll never think of saunas anywhere else the same way. Just another world there
Updated to latest nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 TestFlight version… man those release notes kicked a bit. I get it, and to some extent see a way that tipping people vs notes works for nostr’s benefit, but still, that note & feature change is a gut-punch (and I don’t even zap a lot)
Opens the morning with…
Gratefulness
Moments by water… so restful (usually… we got geese here which can sometimes disrupt some of those moments, lol)
- Feel the feelings, but don’t hold onto them
- breathe, then take your gaze up towards the top of the trees
- always take notes
- being grateful doesn’t mean you aren’t to be critical
There was a time - some decades ago, yikes - where something didn’t get out of my head until it was on paper or on a screen. It’s happened a few times in the past weeks like those olden days. Even as far as writing more those times…
…maybe there’s a old-new thing happening. Kinda neat to see what this might produce
Also, check out the research with Ink and Switch, this bit in particular might be flying near your thoughts https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/
Memory says someone was playing with Git/GitHub to do this some time back. Not sure if it got anywhere (cause, enterprise software is fun)…
…but a two layer notes system like this could be nice. Heck, it’s almost harkening back to Google Wave some 🤔💭
Good having an ebike in the stable again. Past months w/o one haven’t been bad, I certainly learned how much strength (?) was lost using the ebike a lot before it went down.
Was good to resume a Saturday cafe ride, and even a speedy return. Usually would be done for the day afterwards, but not feeling that way. Good to go for another roll in a few hours… and reclaim the non-ebike from its maintenance crew.
Another week, another weekend set to reflect on what was read and what was done… have to say the ripples from these reads are always more surprising than the reads themselves https://www.avancee.agency/2023/06/16/avance-reads-for.html

Have got an Intel Max Mini wanting a project. Wonder if this could be it? nostr:note160q63vpnqranrpukq0dap5dwy7z56frdhztel0375fwwyas023vsvc3msj
I think I wanna (finally) try and setup a nostr relay… yea, I think it’s time
Oh, now that’s interesting 🤔 😏💍https://twitter.com/anitaposch/status/1668675102089592832
That is a…
…this is a very loose but potentially volatile way to contextualize “people” versus “item”… and (speaking from one end of my mind) kind of makes sense. It decouples wallet from event and to a person. Potentially pushing forward “identity holder as wallet.”
So yea, it can sound bad, or unwanted. But, if you press on the bubble just a bit here, the resolution given might actually affirm “decentralized identity (holder),” leaving protocols to just be ???
To make a definition where content isn’t valuable, people are… that… that actually kinda sounds like what nostr wants.
Just thinking/riffing… but don’t think I’m that far off. Whether nostr/NIP evolves to this, or some other protocols see this, is another story. There’s a map in that response to something that might actually be a clearer focus… even if it is a harder vision to make happen nostr:note1cmykkjkvc7mg642gxpexyt9rpvr55cskyj3ny7rz8vl75vvuud0q8xlunk
