Oof. I'm sorry Will. No one wants to see their baby gutted. I hope this lights a fire like no other to get this new client developed.
Oof.

So Apple (Tim Cook +) are forcing you to leave it on someone’s profile page only and not on individual posts?
What if you made a wpa parallel to Damus that creates the event zap, but Damus only links to that? Or is that too cumbersome?
Dang sucks for real.
We should have a zapathon when the Damus PWA launches
That's unfortunate 🥹
Apple is brutal.

💜 there must be another way
Boycott apple!
It’s ok. It’s work in progress. I’m sure we’ll see more innovative solutions and options in the near future.
Dont you dare :(
Listeng to your community before apple
Sadly this is what I expected 😭
This is why I’ve turned off automatic app updates.
Please make it into a "profile picture" image instead of a zap. Same exact function lol
remove it - get it approved - then quietly re-add it in a future release without mentioning it in release notes
Unhelpful comment:
Why waste effort integrating a pro freedom application with a platform that is hostile towards freedom?

Ask them if they are familiar with the term “monopolistic practices.”
Make an extension DL to add the functionality of zaps without using the Apple Store?
jfc fuck them
Rules for thee, but not for Twitter
seems like a good way to get perma-banned
Love this
If I was you I'd just take the 7 bitcoin and call it a day.
Can you make it a hidden feature so that if you (for example) hit or hold down the volume up, volume down, power button in a certain order "x" amount of times it will unlock that feature?
😕
Frankly that seemed a bit predictable, and, leaving aside the validity of the underlying rule, understandable. The current implementation seems somewhat like a charade, as much as it fits the bureaucratic mindset apparent in these rules.
Now here’s a real idea
Death by a thousand paper cuts. 🫂
Snitches everywhere will keep this from happening. Govern me harder☹️
can someone explain to me like a 5 year old why zaps are associated with content creation AND by so its subject to apple payments rules (???)
😡😡😡
Money travelling through apple app store takes a haircut. Their platform, their (even when unfair) rules
perhaps is this why nothing in the apple store come close to “offering” that ease for rewarding content creating in a way that supports the creator and not the railways in which the content is being consumed and tipped over (???)
Thanks for all your work and persistence on this! Much appreciated. Keep on building!
Still convinced that you really own #apple devices?
Feel bad for these fan boys fighting to keep their app.

Sorry they're dragging you through this bro. We all have your back :)
Oh, a plugin system would be an interesting subversion. Apple couldnt claim Damus supports, or even contains, zaps or monetary movement while anyone could add the extension in.
Has Apple set a precedent on app extensions like this yet?
Just add the option in profile management to insert a short footnote under each and every note.
Nostriches could add their lightning address there so they don't have to copy paste it again and again...
That’s frustrating they are picking apart Damus. No wonder the App Store isn’t what it used to be. If iOS 17 supports side loading, we may have to wait until legislation changes or we combine forces to to change legislation and break up the AppStore.
What’s the next move? PWA?
Did they break down for you how they came to the conclusion that zaps were digital content payments?
Be sure to leave an icon or something saying "blocked by Apple".
At least you have people on the inside to talk to…better than 99%
