I’ll say what I mean, the way is building PWS when is no other choice, I’ll give Damus with the exemple and I have nothing against it and I like Damus very much, but when Damus was banned on China, a country who need Nostr so much, who cares about Chinese people who use Damus?
Wasn’t that a time to build a PWS Damus for people who need that?
It’s better to fit in with apple regulations or build more resilient software who can be accessed by iPhone users on China?
If people are givin time fitting in and don’t really build what is needed to people on oppressed countries, it seems to me that don’t fit with the Nostr mission.
Sorry for my English I can explain better if you want later

Oh ok, I see what you mean.
Luckily there are other options for Chinese users in China unless they are doing some other type of firewall. I’m not really sure what options work for them right now.
I think Damus did the right thing at that time by staying the course. We have to be where people are - the App Store, the other social networks. There’s no need to drop iOS development since Damus is not just about zaps but nostr as a whole.
That’s not to say you couldn’t do both - keep improving iOS and build PWA.
My point was more in regards to why we can’t just ditch the App Store where so many people discover apps. For many startups it’s a life or death scenario if you don’t get into the App Store.
I understand what you said, but what is more important?
Build to who wants to use and needs or build to be where are the most people?
