Polls.
Phone calls?
isn't this pollerama?
yeah, what about the kitchen sink /s
great roadmap π―π
Yes, but mainstream clients need to adopt it to for nostr to be able to be any kind of fun, right now we only have jumble.social
Pollerama is on the list.

Add relay and relay set timeline support
nostr connect (nip46)?
What's a relay set timeline? Just a bunch of relays in Global?
Cool, cool. Don't forget the voice thing + relay thing.
Primal is working on adding Nests too. Thank you for your attention and this matter.
Is that a challenge?
nostr trust & safety?
Who can do it first? πππ
have no clue what this is, but thank you for your service.
Just like jumble.social does. A timeline consisting of one or more relays.

Support for honey.hivetalk.org and cornychat.com with join?
I think they are using the same as nostr nests, no?
Yes and are heavily utilized by Nostriches.
Full wallet is a great upgrade, one of the reasons i am pulled to yakihonne over amethyst at times.
Corny uses jam systems.
I2P support por favor
That's a very attractive backlog
nostr nests on amethyst would be cool. I like voice rooms. I used to spend all day chatting on the app clubhouse and made many friends.
Add country, state, cities, gender etc in our profiles so we can search for other users this way. I don't have a way to find friends.
Ability to create & maintain user lists
"global" relay views? globe icon? π
Please consider bringing back single relay publishing for creating protected notes.π
How would that work? When you are looking at the global feed of that relay, you have a + button to post there?
I'd prefer to keep bitchat separate
Why?
Yes, you would have to enable relay browsing for that to work, which would be really cool... Or maybe just a slider on the post editor that enables publishing to a specific address that is manually typed in, that overrides the relay list for that post. Then Amethyst user could create Zapbox notes and whatnot, if they want.
My bookmarks keep disappearing.
π€·ββοΈ
this is what it looks like in jumble (since jumble knows what relay(s) you were browsing from.) the toggle sets the nip70 flag.


Fix the translation
What's the problem?
I love the work you do, but the translations are just terrible. It often doesn't know what language the content is and guesses, then the translations themselves are very low quality
The translarion feature is bad. For languages I speak it's very bad translations, and for languages I don't its worse than bad, because it doesn't help 
View quoted note →

Yeah, we have no fix for that yet. The AI we use must run on the phone and the current model is quite outdated. To my knowledge, there are no replacements yet.
What if you give the option to use jumble's translation service for users that are OK with the privacy implications and with the cost?
Or have a way to disable translations altogether? Because I'd rather not have the feature than have it in this state personally
You can disable by language. Because even if they are not as good, a translation from say.. Arabic.. is always better than no translations.
In that case I would just plop it into kagi translate and have a really good translation
Since Amethyst is now exposing the IP address/location of users' mobile devices to potentially hundreds of relays - which will inevitability include malicious relays - I think that 'internal TOR connections' needs be 'on' by default.
Once upon a time, I'd have been in a whole world of strife if my device started passing traffic to an end-point in Iran, N. Korea etc.
Whats kagi translate?
It is on by default.
Its a translation tool developed by @Kagi; works surprisingly well
Offline or online? Paid or free? Do they keep all the translated messages safe or can they sell them to AI operators and ad businesses? Lots of these services only exist to sell the data. Translating private DMs would be an issue.
Move WoT up in the list, please. At times I want to ignore all events that are too remote in my follows graph.
Paid, online. Don't sell data, in fact that's a core part of their business model. As for DMs I'm not going to receive DMs in languages I don't speak, so personally it doesn't matter for me
Eu nΓ£o falo uma palavra de portuguΓͺs, mas o que vocΓͺ estΓ‘ lendo agora Γ© uma traduΓ§Γ£o feita com o Kagi translate. Pelos meus testes limitados com as lΓnguas que eu falo, esta traduΓ§Γ£o deve ser muito boa. O que vocΓͺ acha?


I don't doubt the translation is good. Many of these services offer amazing translations. Even Google themselves do. The question is always on the price and privacy of the request. After all, it's uncommon to see details on nostr that need to be protected
the location features
We have an Around Me feed, which is also location based.
A lot of stuff on the table! One question, is it possible to disable text translations? Lately every note is translated in my system language and I prefer the original in English.
Media permissions so we can choose other folders & why does one specific npub that I made not have the option to backup the secret key? Every other npub the setting shows but when I switch to that one it's not there like it never existed.
There might be some bug on the way you logged in with that key. Usually that happens when there were two of the same user, one with Amber and one with an nsec.
Media permissions is a challenge, since Google Play is requiring the use of per file permission via that interface they made. I will see what I can do, but Android is moving away from displaying folders to any app. They see as a massive security problem.
Whatever it needs for me to see more then just amethyst & downloads & make the 3 dots appear to hit browse do it! Every other app can no reason amethyst shouldn't.
As for this secret key what you mean? Ur saying it happened because I made the npub before I downloaded amber? Why didn't it happen for the others then?
We don't control that screen. We can't just add buttons to it unfortunately.
On the other one, yes. I don't know why it didn't happen with the others. The bug is not repeatable. It might have happen many versions in the past and stayed like this since then. The fix is unfortunately to clear storage and re-login with all accounts.
Gotcha! π We don't have the power to tweak that screen, so no extra buttons for now, fam.
As for the other issue, it's a mystery! π€·ββοΈ Can't figure out why it didnβt pop up before. Itβs a ghost bug thatβs been lurking for ages. The only fix is to clear storage and log back in with all your accounts. Hang tight! πͺ
You don't add buttons to it you give the app the permissions it needs & then the extra folder & button will appear automatically.
I will try again. But have tested this a few months ago and nothing changed.
I hope people abuse this so it's shown that this method of centralizing relays like this not only contradicts that it's suppose to be a decentralized network but it's harmful to people & the app like jesus everything still loads slow & clunky. Someone fork the old version & add the new stuff to it without this relay changes.
Try giving amethyst permission to all files access.
Are you a coder? Wanna send a PR?
No i'm not but I will send you this.
I hope it helps.

As far as I see amethyst has no media permissions at all.
Just for specific files. Google doesn't allow broad media permissions anymore.
I thought that's what all file access was?
Yes, but they are now forcing apps to not use those things anymore. They want apps to ask for specific permissions for each file they want to access. That's what the new permission system does. There is no broad file access anymore.
Fron what I understand these need to be added.
```
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MEDIA_READ_EXTERNAL"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MEDIA_WRITE_EXTERNAL"/>
```

I still see apps using them & haven't seen one that does stop all of a sudden.
We already do READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. The others are old and don't exist anymore.
From what I read they are needed to make it work. Test it out?
There are very good arguments both ways. The outbox model lends to better UX, and means that replies to notes aren't missing if you're not reading from a relay that somebody else is using.
And there's also the argument that relays are not a practical solution to the censorship problem I.e. PKARR used by #Pubky.

Seems weird, but sure.
Put this in kanbanstr and let the people zap cards to help yall gauge users priority!
I'd like a switch to disable any and all location features for opsec
No need for the switch (why would you ever trust a software switch?). Just don't enable the notification permissions in the settings.

since is its open source, we can verify a switch
I can use Android OS security settings to disable app access to Location and Bluetooth MACs but many users may not know how to do that
The app asks people to use notification or not. They just need to say no. That's all it takes.
I appreciate the accuracy of your point.
I believe many don't understand the difference between an apps Notifications setting and a a confident sense of Location privacy settings. I may be wrong here.
Thank you so much for Amethyst. π
Sorry, I mispoke. The app asks to use Location services. They just need to say no.
I assume a device Bluetooth MAC address is not required for Amethyst implementation of Bitchat?
that's a potential opsec leak in general
only because you asked...
what about the "show less" button at the bottom of a looonnng note. we have the "show more" button, but i want a show less one too. thx in advance.
