Last Notes
Which relays do you have for index and search?
Force stop, clear cache, restart doesn't fix it. For me it's 100% if I search their name. Then it pops right back.
Hum.. I think I need to figure out how to load less stuff so that the important things can take priority over what's loading on the background
Have you tried to delete your storage and re-login?
I also get this to the extent that I've learnt to recognise about 10 users by their npubs.
Shortly after that screenshot was taken several of the pfps and events loaded, but in many cases they don't. I am genuinely grateful for this app and the work you put into it though 🤙
The wierd thing is that if I load Amethyst with your npub, everything seems to work quite well. 🤔
I had to bump up to Quartz 1.05.0 and Kotlin 2.3.x after some initial failures, but everything is coming along nicely now.
I'm kind of a noob, can you tell me what this means?
Same here, disabling tor on untrusted relays helped a little but not completely. Also most blossom content shows only the URL.
Thank you @nprofile…vhl6 for Quartz! I'm plugging it into my new app.
Sorry, I probably made dm even messier. :CatBlush:
But not everyone is willing to hand over their nsec.
NIP-17 requires frequent encryption/decryption using the user’s keys. If a user accesses it via a browser extension, they would need to grant permission for all encryption/decryption requests at once. Otherwise, they end up constantly approving prompts one by one, often without really knowing what is being encrypted or decrypted, just blindly accepting them.
If they use a bunker setup, the experience is even worse.
For clients like Jumble, NIP-17 simply isn’t a viable option. On top of that, if the key is ever lost, all historical chat data becomes exposed.
In the end, I tried implementing NIP-17 on top of NIP-4e (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1647), which can address the issues above.
i vibed this https://metadm.shakespeare.wtf and it works very good with amethyst, that's why i am confused. dm on nostr is really messy
Jumble uses a DM protocol that isn't compatible with other clients.
I thank you for enlightening me, it was already annoying, not knowing who reacted, what to answer...🤘🙏🤘
Awesome, thanks for the zap 🤝
Force restart Amy now then load it back up. Give it a moment. Does it look better?
I've reinstalled Amethyst for a few days again, because on my shit phone it wasn't working, it was crashing all the time, and I missed some updates.
My question is why/what should I do, because I don't see the profile pictures and a lot of accounts appear as npubs only.
#asknostr @nprofile…vhl6 (when you have time)
First try going to relays, and click default for search and index relays. That might fix it.
Eloquently put, and I agree 🤝
Hopefully less bad ones than c Tor tho
Partly for sure, early adopters are like that. But not everything early birds gets is going to be good, otherwise everyone would do that. A lot of people are looking for a familiarity. If they are the ones that nostr benefit from onboarding? That I don't know.
There's 1 question I ask of any person who is offering advice or a service.
Is their intention empowering or controlling of others?
Vitor actions & words has always landed him completely on the empowering side. This intention has not always been clear for other devs & clients.
@nprofile…xel7 can I get official seal of approval please sir 😎🙏?
#nevent1q…a0sm
One thing I've always appreciated about Amethyst has nothing to do with code or the app itself. It's the way Vitor behaves in public discussions, arguments and situations about Nostr. Thank you @nprofile…vhl6 for keeping your head down and building.
I had an issue with it not rendering the profiles of most of my follows but that seemed to clear up with the latest update.
Ever since the latest update I've had an issue where sometimes I tap 'post' and then nothing happens for about 30 seconds, which I suspect is an issue with Amethyst and Amber communicating properly, but the only way to know would be to download the repo and compile a debug build.
I think regardless of whether you agree with ( @nprofile…rapz & @nprofile…pj6n), or ( @nprofile…ul5p, & @nprofile…lm0v), or use another client like @nprofile…gzxw, or wisp by @nprofile…d8e2 .
I think we can all agree that decentralized protocols, and goth girls are the best 🤗!

You know... The surprising part to me is how it is not janky most of the times based on everything that is happening in the background to pre-load feeds. :)
Brand new idea:
#nevent1q…0er2
Thanks @nprofile…vhl6 even when it gets a little janky sometimes it's still my favorite client!

What do you feel would be better?
I love X because we get live news from the ground as it's happening. Unfortunately, the incentive payments have flooded the algorithm with bots engagement farming. I think I've blocked over 1000 people to clean up my timeline. On Nostr I've blocked "Bitcoin" and "zaps" and my timeline is deserted.
Why let some centralized company force feed you rage bait algorithms when you can just be the rage bait algorithms on nostr?
Why am I not seeing the DMs on @npub17n4…fyh9 but only on @npub142g…xrj0 ?
Though to be fair, Arti is full of bugs too. :(
It never was a client, imo. It's a centralized platform that advertises itself as decentralized (which it is, to their credit) only to be used as a marketing trap. The fact that you have to connect to their relay makes their situation even worse. Although I'm not sure that's still a prerequisite.
I tend to agree. I am not in any way an apologist for Primal, as evidenced by my article below questioning whether it should even qualify as a Nostr client.

@nprofile…vhl6 @nprofile…xcpk
Here is a kotlin binding for arti, much better than tor-kmp, that's quite outdated.

While these are good points you're making, this little debate you two are having is blatantly trivial, imo, due to the fact that Nostr social clients (save for a very small handful) have effectively stagnated in terms of improvement. As The Beave put it, "It's just stupid at this point."
