What a complete fucking joke Primal turned out being. Plebstr too, being closed source with private backends. This is not nostr. View quoted note →

Utterly confusing? No. Utterly trash? Yes. Never used a worse client in my life. View quoted note →

My face when I wake up to an ERCOT conservation notice.

For those of you that are curious what Topaz client looks like (or at this point, if it even exists), I’ll share a photo of my old alpha build which continues to run and post to this day. Haven’t touched this branch in ages. Internal team has been running various alphas since March that evolved to something like this by late May. It is very high performance, multi-user, and LMDB based. UI was extremely minimal in these early alphas because the major investments were in LMDB and overall UX. Designed 100% by GPT4 with zero effort to refine really. Bringing years of LMDB implementation experience to this project (including my own libraries), it didn’t take me long to realize that bringing an embedded database to a nostr client only gets you so far in terms of UX polish and consistency. We need to be reaching so much further into every corner of the stack to deliver remarkable UX. And soon, when we launch the first beta builds in TestFlight, you all will get to see for yourselves. I am excited to share more soon.

As an absolute hardware snob I gotta say, I am really digging my Framework 13 a lot more than I thought I would. Is it high end hardware? No. Is it good hardware? I would argue yes.
