By far the most underrated feature of iOS 17 is this shortcut to link notes! https://video.nostr.build/ae8a3b3c70158feaf4c0bd8f3716db8d0a50cab5ed19f8998a736f8725f15d69.mov

So I tried Bluesky Threads Nostr(Damus) and i really think that topics/communities and other web services integration should be the main focus of nostr
The wave of plain simple feeds is over it is now a mix of privacy / personalization / discoverability

Finished testing new features on #[0] but without other clients integration it makes less sense, I am now modifying the damus share sheet

Took a small break from tamga dev but I’m back on it 👀

2023-03-10 21:40:24 UTC

I have at least one more feature to ship and may consider another one then the app is feature complete and ready to launch

2023-03-07 22:07:58 UTC

- reply

For me this is already done with https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/05.md
At most a better user flow with maybe a centralized identifier on a native app could help attract some users and help discoverability but I’m not well educated on that subject

2023-03-07 21:59:10 UTC

I’m trying to understand the problem, you want some kind of identifier on top of npubs for discoverability ?

I saw the GitHub issue and I’ll think about it before giving any answer

It’s a paradigm shift…
@tamga is offline first, a simple data portability storage and access app, a focused nostr experience like so many are being built

The choice is :
- Use open source apps
- Verify the code or trust an independent source
- For developers add key safety informations
Quick look at the login page of #[4]

Don’t trust, verify!
The code source of #[0] is available.
I made sure to add safety related information on login and use a standard keychain storage.
This should be the baseline for nostr apps.

Soon if I understand the spec. What happens if a user creates two tags with the same unique name ? Does the first one stay? The second one? Which one should the relay discard ?

2023-03-05 22:14:08 UTC

That’s why we need micro apps, focused Nostr experiences and by default collaboration!

Can you receive multiples badges with the same name ?

2023-03-05 00:22:47 UTC

Great progress today, the next update is 🔥( a quick stable fix will be pushed tomorrow if I can’t finish the progress )

2023-03-04 22:40:19 UTC

Dear Nostr / #[0] users
Do you prefers that :
- I pull the contacts automatically after login (without any data consideration like it is done in other apps)
- Use an intermediate screen (picture below)
- just display the app and let the user give out the “pull button” (some users couldn’t find it and thought is was buggy)

I think the biggest benefit of the Nostr ecosystem are micro apps, each time we collaborate and integrate it’s a net win for everyone
I’m not so fond of big apps that basically create the standards on its own

Hey #[4] I’m thinking about it with #[5]
The flow would be
Share sheet -> url scheme parameters -> app signs and returns to the other app
This needs integration by everyone, so far that’s what in thinking for iOS to avoid giving keys to everyone. I will see if it’s viable or not

It’s on #[6] to not use url schemes for internal routing, look at Fabian’s profile he commented on it

2023-03-04 12:52:13 UTC

I received two crash logs:
1) invalid nsec
2) typing « nsec » only
Both cases well congrats on breaking the app 🫠 You will have to uninstall/reinstall and i will be implementing more solid checks (but please try to paste a valid key 😭)

2023-03-04 11:03:27 UTC

👋🏻 Thanks for the support and messages. I will try to answer all of it in 1/2 hours (same for GitHub issues 💯)

Oh that’s great, the backend is from #[9] he his behind the incredible Nostr.Band, how long did it take with your 300 following ?

2023-03-04 00:26:18 UTC

- reply

Yep already on it, I have it in local testing but I hesitate to push it until I see if the everyone wants the Nostr:// or not.
PS : you should pull contacts and your profile : on the first tab view > 3 dots .. > pull
Can you tell me if you knew that or should I make it more obvious ?

Thank you again for the feedback, always helps a lot, just pushed a new TestFlight build for the key copying issue, hope that’s fixed. Looking into first refresh on launch in the coming days!

2023-03-03 21:27:13 UTC

The first App Store reviewer typed the public key in the login and build was rejected 🫠 the second reviewer understood the instructions (or it’s just me putting the private key as username that passed their automated tools🤣)

Q&A :
Why did you rename the app from nostrID ?
=> Following the post from fiatjaf,it is true that each nostr experience should have it's own identity and avoid the nostr variants.
Why did you release a new app ?
=> Changes to bundle name on iOS require a new listing..I'm sorry for the inconvenience but if you had the previous app you should join this new testflight!
Can i publish or add contacts from the app ?
=> Right now the app is a reader / central point to search contacts. In the future the goal is to add offline contacts and publish them from the app.

Tamga is:
- open source
- stores the keys on the iPhone's keychain
- offline ready
and also a great addition to the nostr micro apps ecosystem allowing everyone to check on their nostr friends regardless of the nostr app they might use!

Relay aggregators like nostr.band could be a viable archival place for data portability across micro apps that don’t need constant relay fetching

But that shouldn’t be the case for person to person contact sharing
You could share your QR code and the person could add it, later the client should sync and add that contact… just an example of a relay abstracted Nostr interaction

If you’re reporting crashes on TestFlight, some context could be really great because I see the 3 reports and it seems to be on the banner image but I can’t trace it down further. Any pictures/videos/comments here or in the telegram (even in private if needed) are appreciated 🙏🏻

Before installing/updating:
Please either logout (or even better uninstall the previous version). The migration to core data (offline use) might cause crashes with the previous version.
