Its a simple request Just add @lemon 's gifbuddy.lol as a button

anything is easy in theory, its just how you prioritize your time. I've chosen it to prioritize building out a multiplatform client that is not under the boot of apple
Tune them out and build what’s important. I’m on team Will. People will dismiss the million things you DO do over the 1 little thing you haven’t had the time to do yet.

Lol decentralization first ☝️
I feel like all the nostr projects need one pm like elsat who just sets up geysers for these dumb requests so people can just be sent there if they want to contribute but can't code. Or some other bounty program. Cuz like idgaf about gifs, but I'm not gunna stop shitting on @primal until they implement amber login because it's way more important for security than implementing a cool search or zap.store like @ODELL apparently keeps telling @miljan to implement. As a developer myself though, I find most developers are shitty at priorities, but business people are even worse.
Notedeck runs nostrdb which fetches your notes and has a relay interface for the connected nostr client. The relay also uses negentropy to sync notes with other relays so that notes are spread through the network and decentralized. I probably got some of that wrong, but I'm bored at work and nostr loves to let people know when theyre wrong so the right answer will come along.
Nostrdb allows me to implement outbox efficiently for both ios and notedeck. Outbox doesn’t really work in ios’ current implementation
Anyone can add a GIF keyboard to Damus in an afternoon and some users will be happy but it's low value, understandably not a priority right now. Building foundational tech like nostrdb takes lots of time and engineering but the value it adds to the whole nostr ecosystem is insane. It'll be a game changer.

any improvements to nostrdb completed while working on notedeck that are then used to improve damus, if truly needed in damus, would have then naturally come along without notedeck existing. if this is the case, then notedeck is at best a side project less people care about. if this is not the case, then notedeck is a distraction to damus work people actually care about. i don't care if he's working on things he enjoys. we all should be. however, any criticisms that damus work is being ignored for another project seem legitimate. then to complain about it essentially directly to your users seems less than ideal, especially when much of your funding comes from organizations like opensats that receive some of their funding from the users your complaining at. to be clear, i don't have a dog in this fight. i use amethyst. however, it is disheartening to see open source project maintainers bitching about their users to their users.
Oh i see what you're getting at but i don't really see "*mega sigh*" as Will "bitching about their users to their users". Looks more like exhaustion from difficulty to communicate the benefit of the "pet project" to people who want to add gifs to their posts more easily. If people really wanted that, theyd submit a pr or fork it, no?
I've heard great things about Damus. I might be being selfish here, but I'm an Android user very much looking forward to trying it out. You can't make everyone happy, just ask anyone that thinks democracy is a good idea 😂. Onwards and upwards my friend.
You’re literally January 6th-ing us Will 😭. Might as well break into our homes, & take our hardware wallets while you’re at it. (Text doesn’t convey emotion, to clarify this is satire) image
Isn't it weird when people who complain about a problem aren't willing to do anything to solve it? That sounds like an example of performative contradiction to me.
Build the deep tech necessary to make this protocol work! If you only listen to everything users say, you'll always end up at a local maximum of mediocrity
image I can't wait to see what notedeck becomes 🚀

oh sure. I mean, the ideal is that people will "be the PR they want to see in the world." I dream of such a place. I hear they have ice cream.
Probably not anytime soon, native iOS integration is too nice. But it would definitely simplify development with such a constrained team size.
Sure can but not yet . For people who just landing on Nostr or Damus and have not technical knowledge , I can recommended pay service like nostr.build to upload your image, gif or video .
Can you give tips on how to de bug notedeck alpha ? I just use silly metode by uninstall and re installed , mostly it work but not this time , need your expertise skills . It said error couldn’t find any logs on systems . Am I ghost account ?
Yes it is. But it’s also open source and if they want some feature and they aren’t a developer they can sponsor some to add it.
Will it? Seems it’s for computers and then you’re prioritizing Android for later this year… What exactly was Damus purple for again? To fund Notedeck?
Notedeck *is* damus android. It’s built to be a responsive app. Purple is for helping support Damus development (notecrumbs web frontend, iOS, android, desktop, push notification server, damus relay, purple relay). We are not just an iOS app. We are trying to build a decentralized nostr experience for everyone, not just apple users.
It will be our iPadOS app as well, since notedeck really shines as a tablet app. Damus iOS was never really built for tablets.
