Testing Apple crap I hate it

-Feed is slow to load (old phone?)
-Private keys are just raw dogging right into the app or whatever
-Zaps have to be sneaky and will eventually get rugged by App Store
-Relay setup is weird
-No good private DMs
-Don’t know what the hell the media servers are doing
-There are good things, namely Nostur
Conclusion: Android Nostr is better, more private, more secure, and more sovereign. Sorry not sorry.
Okay I’m out.

I’m trying to make it work and it sucks. Zap.army script will open up a wallet like Strike or something. I made Nostur zap with NWC and Coinos by changing the reaction symbols to a lightning bolt (which is cool af btw). I’m not spending time on Primal or Damus anymore, although they are stunningly pretty. Nostur for a regular app and Nostrudel for a PWA.

Damus and Primal are so sexy to look at. Right now Nostur is a better Nostr experience, but not quite doing me up on the sex part.

Fuck me. My dude I just zapped with Nostur, after FINALLY figuring it out, and this bitch made a thunderclap noise and a full screen lightning strike with a 21 flashing. That was the coolest shit I’ve seen so far. We gonna need that on Amethyst please.

Yes, Nostur is most similar to Amethyst. Key management is balls unless I just haven’t found that feature yet, but Primal and Damus are fully hobbled. Zaparmy script works but makes me open some other Apple-approved bullshit wallet app. If I’m doing it wrong so is every noob and it sucks for them. Apple is assho.

Right now testing iOS apps to better help onboard people. Can confirm this is absolute fiat shit at every level. Can’t zap, can’t login with a key management app. Have to use some script or some browser extension, and it’s all very “trust me bro.”
It’s an awful experience. Apple makes Nostr suck. I’d go back to TikTok. “We need better onboarding!” Fuck that, we need to ditch Apple’s bullshit completely.
