Damus is actually a pretty great client.
There were no updates that turned it into unusable rubbish. It doesn't randomly break. It has proper NIP-42. Media uploading is easy. Translation works. The UI just works. It isn't trying to distract me with 30 different features.
It is the only app that I actually trust with my nsec.
My only complaints are:
- handling of longform (by event ID instead of naddr, maybe fixed?)
- 1-2 crash loops I had due to early NostrDB issues that are gone now
- link preview ordering handling
Thanks jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s)
