1. I am an Android dev, not iOS or other PWA stack. So, any time on iOS will take away from our Android users.
2. iOS is extremely centralizing, which goes against Nostr's core values. I just don't want to help that centralization to continue.
3. I don't believe in the corporate idea of developing the same app to many platforms. You either don't specialize enough in each platform to make it cohesive with its OS or you do it at the expense of the app's features and completness. Meaning, you can ship a basic app in 3 platforms, or a massive app to platform, but you can't do massive apps in all platforms.

if you dev in java, all plataforms with jvm will work bro.
multiplataform + speciality is already possible. but I'm with you. IOJAIL users pay for their data stolen, so they should pay for a programmer to dev to their plataform hahahahahaha
I remember asking when Damus for Android would come. I was told something similar.
A couple of months later, you dropped a clunky version of Amethyst, but it was usable. For a while Amethyst & Nostros were both pretty reasonable Nostr clients.
At some point Amethyst started becoming smooth & stable. Then you just went all out dropping features that would take some clients months/years to add.
I always admired the way you worked! You just took what you thought was the right path & adjusted as you went.
Thank you 🧡
Always makes me laugh when devs are just this one thing. Nothing more annoying. Learn it then, it’s all the same.
The main point is IMO:
APPLE IS A FUCKED APP DYSTOPIAN AND SUPER CENTRALIZED COMPANY.
Oh, I know how to code it. I just don't want to waste my time doing it.
