This is why all Open Source apps should have an LLM architecture. Maybe 1 for contributors + 1 for users. Give the non-technical user an LLM guide to modify source code.
All this is really exciting for open source

Agreed. I'll take a stab at it. Might be something that desktob has more space for though

@nprofile…2lxp I feel like Amethyst should take a bolder stance on redefining UX standards. For ex. making all broadcast events more transparent, for ex: reaction broadcasts to show a "note like broadcast to x/n relays" snackbar with an expandable popup with the relays and broadcast status. Benefits IMO:
- more transparent about what hitting like just did
- drives user decisions about managing relays. "Why is this relay always failing, etc..."
What do you think?

I don't know how I didn't know about @nprofile…g3uz. It's my favorite way of interacting with the internet: sync, go offline, read and interact. And sync next time when I go online

@nprofile…2lxp PR with Threads and Notifications for Desktop: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/pull/1663.
I've moved files around without the type alias reference hack. One q I'm having is how to share ViewModels properly. Feels like there's a lot to be shared, but part of it is platform specific.
What do you think of introducing UseCases in the Domain layer? ViewModel becomes more dumb and just UI logic related. Maybe the Actions can already be considered domain layer components 🤔

The new LLMs are great, seems like Nov/Dec was an inflection point. My key takeaways:
Devil is in the details, but focus on spec, not code creation:
- how does quality look like?
- define key metrics, log and monitor
- review key implementation decisions (such as dependency decisions)
- write tests first. Do TDD
Think spec first. If you don't like the implementation you haven't defined requirements well enough.
AI is now amazing at getting you from A to B. But B needs to be clearly defined

yes. Native UX. Early days, but Desktop app needs to be Native with native capabilities, like Amethyst on Android. This is where KMP leads the way - share business logic across multiple platforms that are native

@nprofile…qm68 I've vibed together an MVP Amethyst desktop app. Tried to limit Android impact. PR is still large, but most is just reusing Android into a now KMP shared commons module - this is what I love about KMP, you can share UI components too, but still keep navigation or other platform specifics separate.

IMO precious metal market cap growth is bullish. It's people giving up veganism and eating chickens only to realize red meat is the best later on.

2025-12-27 06:12:22

@nprofile…grcu @nprofile…fg9w @nprofile…205a a quick FOSS win IMO is to make sure projects have a standardized doc + contribution guide for LLMs. Something that any platforms can feed on - for ex. Claude can easily convert to agents and skills.
Maybe an llms.txt adjacent to README.md (latter should be concise but the first detailed with contribution guides, project goals, standards, etc..)

Spotify's offline experience sucks, YouTube is better but not great. Downloading media from Nostr is the best.
This is where open systems have a competitive advantage. All that effort wasted on complexity to deliver vendor lock-in and restrict sharing raw media.

awesome. I think next level sovereign social media UX is something like
1. Enter the universe (fetches data from relays)
2. Go offline and interact (read, write)
3. Exit the universe - broadcast to other relays

Interestingly I never considered myself being EHS, but the more I measured and read I just became more aware of subtle changes caused by EMFs.

I've compared Trifield measurements of LTEvs WiFi and WiFi was always lower.
Does having both turned on if you're connected to WiFi have higher EMFs?

2025-10-11 10:44:07

@nprofile…l64r how do you fix powerline adapter + cat6 eth + eth to type-C adapter High Electricity measurements?
Measured with Trifield and was surprised how high it was at:
- powerline adapter
- eth to type-C adapter close to hand very high (I remember 100-400V/m2) but can measure again
- cat6 lowest, but still more than I'd like (I'm looking for near zero)
Looking to troubleshoot this. My household transitioning from WiFi to Eth depends on this :D
