beyond shitposting, i don't really care about a GIF keyboard at this current time. i use gifbuddy.lol from @lemon and i'm perfectly happy. we have other, more pertinent tasks that need to be implemented and ironed out, IMO. such as stability and performance, bringing about consistency, are some of our collective largest hurdles.

Damus is not ready to onboard millions of users yet, I want a client that can handle the load (which is why I created nostrdb)
People are trying to make this like we aren’t working on it or something. @dan built a full gif keyboard frontend to avoid the invasive tracking done by external libraries. We’re just working through the details on the backend with @lemon now
It’s not about one-off features, and it’s definitely not about dismissing the work being done by the iOS devs. The issue is how you’re engaging with users and supporters who’ve been here since the start. This reply is a perfect example. Instead of acknowledging valid frustrations or fostering a constructive dialogue, it comes across as rude and dismissive. Users want to feel heard, not scolded for sharing feedback or concerns. It’s clear that you’re prioritizing your vision of a multi-platform client over addressing the needs of the current iOS community—and maybe that’s the right decision. But the dismissive tone and lack of engagement with your core supporters only alienate the very people who have championed Damus from the start.
I’m not saying you’re not working on solutions, and I understand you have very limited resources to accelerate progress. This isn’t really about a ‘stupid GIF button’—it’s more about the ability to listen to user feedback, even from those of us who might not have an audience or resources to attract. Often, the feedback we give includes suggestions that wouldn’t hurt to implement and could enhance the overall experience(even as a temporary solution). I think for #nostr clients that want to work on the project and not being sold to VCs, users should be counted and if not us being on here or leaving back to X app then #nostr is pointless and failed project.
You do dismiss feedback I’m just lazy to go and find it. Let’s just bookmark this for the future reference
Please allow me to flip this into a positive note You can truly see the passion in this thread that everyone has for Damus and Nostr as a whole It is a privilege to be in a position where people care enough to criticize your work The developers at Damus have built something incredible that people can’t get enough of and are demanding more With that said, I think we have a solution that will be scalable, non-intrusive, and will be unique to Nostr Looking forward to contributing and working with the Damus team GIFs are inevitable image

I look forward to trying on android. Work after you are dead. That would be very impressive.
Nothing personal against you, and high 5 to all that donations - but something like a gif-keybord is really the least thing i could think of. I mean, thats totally unrelated to nostr. Aren't there some "gif capable kryboards" you just install on your device? Who needs that? It's (gifs) just unneccesarily incrementing throughput on tor nodes to deliver a GIF.
Sorry, maybe a boomer move from my side, all that "gif-keyboard" thing is like a shitcoin for me. Maybe I underestimated the word "itself" in your post? Sorry if misintepreted!misunderstood your post. Maybe I was distracted by this gif kb bs
What I want is honestly too complicated and when my specs are ready you'll be able to ask me for more than that if you can meet them. To put it simply I want a P2P censorship resistant nostr. You're actually kinda getting somewhere already with your built in Tor support
Is it #Gif or #Zif or #Jif #askNostr And I say it is the MOST important thing .. If I needed STABILITY.. I can be on X 😜

We will get there. P2P sucks because people don't have servers to stay online. Phones go offline quickly. The reason we even have relays is because no one could make a working P2P network. There were prototypes, but nothing at this scale that is truly P2P (meaning no server whatssoever is involved).
Setting up possibilities to make their life easier always comes from the state. It’s a intergenerational cycle, it also happened in Sparta and Rome. Sparta collapsed for giving excessive power for women, including to decide whether or not to get pregnant and other abject sexual practices. It usually comes alongside currency degeneration and state corruption. Any similarity to what we have been facing nowadays?
Sometimes, it is important to listen to users; even while other more audacious projects are being carried out in the background.
Yeah, video editing gets more. Being able to usechoose which camera app (ie the default camera on graphene sucks and Google camera is better) is slightly more.
I have a friend that called himself a "tech prostitute: I solve problems for money; give me more money and I'll work for you"
These are called wedge issues, operators exacerbate them, just link to where you've already debunked it imo
Predictable with the use of terms such as 'abandoned' and 'cannibalizing'. Ok for will to use shorthand without optimizing for your butthurt if you can. Criticizing post per post scales better than responding to criticism. Productivity requires strong defense against.
That's $240,000 euros per year? Can you do half that? 🙏 Can we do 10,000,000 per month? Or 2,300,000 per week? 26 weeks spread out over the year? I would not want some random NIP. My wish list is Holepunch worked into being relays in Nostr for media and Note storage (bonus points with audio and Video calling built in. Keet. io) Monero Tipping 3 and this is a big one - a QuickBooks replacement that does not use QB servers and data is available to multiple users p2p.
Good attitude.👏 Just to confirm, you have Amethyst set to open source and forkable? Right? When I get my personal shit solved here, I'm going to experiment on some Nostr building. I think you have a really good starting point on Amethyst from a lot of levels. But there's a lot I'd change and improve too. Just confirming from the horses mouth. Happy to work together in some form too.

you mean you are a whore. A slut doesn't charge. #bitcoin $btc #givemedatorangethang
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you (or someone else, I know there are a few spiritual jannies on here) could create a firehose relay on ditto to suck up content from multiple relays and then filter out mostr on nip05.
