its more of a technical detail. you should just use wrapped unless you plan on customizing the package. although its not clear to me what the point of the wrapped fhsenv is for on that package.

notedeck has a nerdy feature that you can’t do on the web: local broadcast for sending notes to your local network without a relay or internet connection. Usefulness? Dubious. But its cool 😎
This is just the beginning of a feature we’re going to add called local sync, which can be used for syncing and backing up your notes between your devices on your local network.

scrolling X on the damus account feels like scrolling linkedin. such a strange feeling when twitter used to be home. It’s equally strange seeing most of my IRL bitcoiner friends still on there. Most bitcoin core devs post there, even though there is a libsecp256k1-secured network right here with mostly bitcoiners!?

I am not actually suggesting bip176+177 is a good idea, it was a thought experiment. I still use bip176 personally because it’s easier to visualize 10,000 bits as $10,000 in the future, so it grounds me in future thinking, but thats just a personal thing.

its “easier” with pervasive analytics that tracks what all users are doing and where they get stuck. but we have a stance against that so we have to do it in person instead with random people. It’s very time consuming and iteration cycles are slow.

2025-05-20 12:49:56

Mainly because humans have been used to that for the current and previous generations. Its the same principle in ux design when building apps. Usually you stick with whats familiar to make it easier to digest. People don’t like learning new paradigms.

2025-05-20 12:48:18

mainly because of a limitation in the iOS design. I have been working on new technology to get around the limitation (nostrdb). So it will be able to more reliably sometime in the future.
It’s further along in notedeck, almost there.

2025-05-20 12:44:18

- reply

we have done a bunch of user testing and it seems where most people get frustrated is simply finding people and then finding their community. This is why 99% of people don’t stick around, which is why our focus this year has been mainly onboarding into topics, topic communities, damus nip05, etc
It’s still very much a chicken and egg problem, but if we don’t have community tools and discovery then it will never happen.

if we did bip177+bip176, at $1 million fiat per btc, 1 bitcoin would be 1 cent and 100 bitcoin would be $1. 1 bit would be 100 btc. 1 bit would be $1 fiat.

Building clients with empathy toward the average person is very difficult. It’s something we have spent 90% of our meetings talking about this year.
I wouldn’t attribute it to malice or indifference. You have to spend lots of time talking to users and watching how they use the app. It is very time consuming and not trivial to do, especially with a small team

my hopefulness for the longterm success of nostr swings between excitement+optimism and total despair. there is no inbetween. it honestly could go either way.
to me it has already succeeded, but some people might only see success as complete world domination.
I would definitely like to see it grow a lot more, but if this is all it ever gets to I guess it is what it is.
one thing for sure is if the funding dries up and working on nostr becomes unsustainable, I can rest knowing that the clients and tech I have built will keep working long after I'm gone.
So many startups and web apps come and go, but protocols are forever.

we are cooking up a new spec that should help onboarding for all clients.
we are going to have an onboarding step on damus ios where you can choose your interests. This will create a new nostr note with all of your interests listed.
you will be able to find people who have shared interests using this list.
you will be able to visit someones profile and see shared interests.
all clients can utilize this spec to improve discoverability and to help generate this data as well.
NIP soon!

yeah definitely, but maybe its not too bad if they can influence people to join nostr even if they are not technical or have accomplished much. onboarding is our biggest weakness, so if they can bring a lot of people onboard that would be a big accomplishment in my eyes!

Tim sweeney got me into programming via ZZT, and SPJ made me fell in love with functional programming via Haskell. now they are both working on a language for virtual worlds… as someone who had worked on my own metaverse protocol and as a huge fanboy of both of these guys… i am very intrigued.

it likely just got to their caching relay and failed to get sent to "real" relays. so basically noone can see it other than primal users.

Another #notedeck feed I like which I think is unique is the "last post per user on a list".
Individual feeds are cool, but this is even more powerful for finding posts from people who don't post a lot.
This feed ensures frequent posters don't drown out the non-frequent posters. We support this for contact lists at the moment, but we will also have it for user lists and follow packs.
