your profile picture is a bigger part of your nostr ‘brand’ than your username by the way. it’s what people remember you by the most

i guess brand wasn’t the best way to put it. meant more as “identity”. constantly needing to readjust to someone’s visual makes it more difficult to glance over your feed when scrolling
I dont know about that you could be profileless if our interaction was meaningful and your true self shined true i remember that more
I actually think brand is a good word. For accounts like me or you. Derek Ross, jack, marie before she was roger those are identities. I mean the ID Dan Wedge, my last name shortened, WedgeSocial is my brand. This is the part of me I show the internet.
might be, didn’t want it to come across too “influencer” type vibe 💜
I figured as much. I’m liking this new profile pic though 😅 I’m curious as to what goes on your mind when there’s a profile pic and name mismatch; is it nostalgia or something else?
didn’t even know Bing had an AI 🫠 really up to date on the latest 🫡 btw, i love your image 💜
oof, but yes, interesting concept tho we can do this with “contacts” on our phones, set pics for people, but can’t do it with our social media apps if decentralization is giving users more control/power then it might also be used to fight spam, since users could create the pfp and associate it with the npub 🤔 ​nostr:@elsat explore idea
The downside of pet names or a customizable contact list is that if you know someone’s real name, you may accidentally reveal their name to others.
tbh, i’d just like to pick people’s pfp based on their pfp edit history, that’s all for pattern recognition sake during scrolling
I like being on a first name basis. More personable and eliminates the risk of trying to hide, but I respect each persons preference 🤝
not sure, I don’t need access to the entire contact list. There should be a way to just add data to existing or new contacts.
Afaik contacts on iOS is one permission which is read + write, they’ve only just separated the photos read + write on the iOS 17 beta but I’m not sure if contacts are affected too
Yeh tbh I like the way they’re going, Snapchat is a shit app though which uses permissions so weird so it doesn’t work by default🤣they need to update and use native I think. That app tries to make itself an android app I stg, design language, backend and all
