i love nostr and i remain incredibly bullish on nostr, however these are the apps that i use daily that cause me frustrations. when i said this morning that i go from bullish to frustrated and back, these are the reasons:
nostrudel - i have to refresh or reload the app often to get profile names and photos to display. sometimes new notes don't load and i have to refresh or reload to display them.
chachi - chats just don't load most of the time. i have to nuke local storage and reload and refresh constantly to get new chat messages to display. this is tedious.
olas - i haven't used olas since the last update. i can't upload images. the images upload blank or never finish publishing. even the feed is inconsistent showing me mostly my images instead of images from people i follow.
pokey - mute thread is not consistent. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
citrine - no new events get published. i've been at 207,513 events for months. i think this happened whenever i tried to import all of my events from all of my relays. whenever i open citrine there's a notification that it's exporting events, but that never finishes. i think i need to cut my losses and my local data and nuke and start from scratch, but then ill lose all of my local data :(
wavlake - a popup window for amber is displayed every single song that i listen, because it's trying to set a status for the song im listening to. this continues even if you attempt to remember or save the setting.
primal - my NWC somehow stops working. i can generate a new string and apply it and have zaps work for a few days, but eventually it will stop working and ill have to disconnect and regenerate new NWC strings.
fountain - i just don't boost as often as i'd like, because having a separate wallet balance makes boosting harder. NWC is coming to fountain though. that will resolve this.
---
honestly the most stable and consistent apps that i use daily are #0xchat, #Amethyst and #Notedeck (jumble.social is great too, i just don't use it that often.)
---
looking at the larger picture, these are not showstopping issues, but mere annoyances along a bumpy path forward. and that's where we are moving. forward.
keep building.
